Far-left Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) condemned billionaires and their influence on politics in a blistering op-ed published by Fox News on Friday.
Expanding his reach beyond the Democrat base into conservative media, the communist codger took aim at X owner Elon Musk in his screed titled “Two Americas, the people vs. the billionaires” in which he railed against inequality, a return to the class warrior that he used to be before he went “woke” after being cheated by Hillary Clinton’s DNC lackeys in the 2016 primaries.
Our country is rapidly evolving into two Americas.
One, where the vast majority live, consists of millions of working class families struggling to get by. The other: less than a thousand billionaires who have never had it so good.
That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.… pic.twitter.com/GuaYK951YI

“In the first America, the uber-wealthy buy $500 million yachts with helicopter pads, $270 million mansions with 30 bedrooms, private islands, a fleet of jets to take them all over the world and rocket ships that blast off to the edge of outer-space. They receive the best health care money can buy, send their kids to the best schools and can expect to live very long lives,” Sanders wrote.
“In this America, the three wealthiest men (Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg) own more wealth than the bottom half of our society – over 165 million people. And their wealth is skyrocketing. Musk, alone, is now worth over $450 billion and, combined, these three men are worth $955 billion,” he continued, singling out the big three.
Although Sanders did note “that it is not just these three men. The top 1% now own more wealth than the bottom 90% – and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider every day.”
But there were names noticeably missing from Comrade Bernie’s rant which omitted the leftist billionaires who disproportionately backed a losing horse in Kamala Harris, and he didn’t see it fit to mention George Soros, long the Democratic Party’s sugar daddy, and his son Alex who will carry on his legacy for long after the bloodsucking Hungarian ghoul has gone to his great reward.
Those with short memories may not recall that there was once a time when Sanders’ shtick used to be denouncing millionaires AND billionaires but he changed it up as a result of the inconvenient truth that he himself is one of the millionaires.
So that makes him a hypocrite.
X users had some thoughts about Bernie and his mini-manifesto.
Oh Bernie, it use to be the Millionaires until Trump ran in 2016 and you became a millionaire yourself on a 174,000/yr job. Now it’s the Billionaires, except you choose to leave out the evil Soros, Bezo, Zuckerberg and Oprah. Hypocrites never learn.

Bernie needs to find a chair and sit his behind in it and just sit this issue out. Maybe he can learn how to buy a fifth house. Maybe in balmy Moscow.

Remember, Bernie is one of those wealthy people too.

Just shut up already, Bernie! You’ve had your shot….twice and done nothing with it but cave in to the establishment. No one cares what you think.

Shut up Bernie and go home. Term limits already. I’ll say this yet again: It used to be the “millionaires“ until you became one….then the language shifted to ” billionaires “. You are the epitome of a limousine liberal (probably even Marxist).

“We are in a pivotal and unprecedented moment in American history. Either we fight to create a government and an economy that works for all, or we continue to move rapidly down the path of oligarchy and the rule of the super-rich,” Sanders concluded. “The choice is clear. We must stand together for democracy and justice.”
