AOC, Sanders tell supporters to mask up for West Coast town halls

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are taking the “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies out West next week – and advising supporters to mask up to participate. 

Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox News Digital can confirm that the RSVP for the events in Denver and Las Vegas includes guidance that “masks are advised for all attendees of this event.”

A post shared by conservative podcaster Stephen L. Miller on Friday about the Denver event had many wondering why masks would be advised for an outdoor event in 2025. 

Sanders did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry about the mask guidance.

Democrats Embrace Pure Evil: Bernie Sanders Teams Up with Transgender Punk Rocker Performing a Blasphemous, Explicit Song — “Does your God have a Big Fat D*ck Cause it Feels Like He’s F**king Me”

The Democratic Party has once again revealed its true colors, embracing radical, anti-Christian extremism as Senator Bernie Sanders invited a transgender punk rocker to perform a vile, blasphemous song at his rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Friday night.

Sanders, the self-described “democratic socialist” and former presidential candidate, was in Kenosha as part of his nationwide Fighting Oligarchy tour.

Sanders invited Laura Jane Grace, a transgender punk rocker and frontperson of the band Against Me!, to perform at his rally. He was born Thomas James Gabel.

But instead of an uplifting or unifying message, the crowd of roughly 3,500 Sanders supporters cheered on a performance featuring explicit, sacrilegious lyrics attacking God and Christianity in the most grotesque way imaginable.

The song titled Your God (God’s D**k), which is so obscene that can barely be printed, openly mocks God and Christian believers, reducing faith to a crude sexual joke.

The song repeatedly asks, “Does your God have a big fat d**k?” before descending into even more graphic and offensive descriptions.

Yet rather than being met with outrage, Sanders’ supporters laughed and clapped along—proving once again that the radical left has abandoned even the pretense of respecting religion. This is who the Democratic Party is now.

Why Is Multi-Millionaire Bernie Sanders Begging For $27?

Bernie Sanders, who is a multi millionaire from taking big pharma money and other ‘perks’ of being a high profile elected official, posted a video over the weekend begging people to fund him touring around the country to essentially complain about President Trump and Elon Musk.

Here he is asking people to give him money so he can stay in swanky hotels and blather to conference rooms full of leftists about “the oligarchs,” “authoritarianism,” and “the richest people in the world” running the government.

As if this guy has any clue what “working families,” struggle with. 

No working class people are sitting around crying about Trump eliminating fraud, sorting out the disaster at the border and making the government more efficient.

RFK Jr. TORCHES Bernie Sanders For Taking Big Pharma Donations

The crowd went wild with applause on Thursday after Donald Trump Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slammed hypocrite Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for taking millions of dollars from Big Pharma.

The moment came during day two of Kennedy’s Senate confirmation hearing, where he told Sanders, “By the way Bernie, the problem with corruption is not just in the federal agencies, it’s in Congress too. Almost all the members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.”

When the audience clapped in approval of RFK’s comment, Sanders angrily waved his hand in the air, saying, “Oh no! No, no, no, no… I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions. They did not come from the executives, not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry, they came from workers.”

Kennedy responded, “In 2020 you were the single largest receiver of pharmaceutical money… Bernie, you were the single largest accepter of pharmaceutical dollars. $1.5 million.”

“Yeah, out of $200 million,” Sanders answered.

During Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for Kennedy, the socialist senator launched into an unhinged tirade at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding baby clothes that celebrate not taking vaccines.

Highlighting Kennedy’s former group Children’s Health Defense (CHD) advertised baby clothing that said “Unvaxxed Unafraid” and “No Vax, No Problem” on its website, Sanders shouted, “ARE YOU SUPPORTIVE OF THESE ONESIES?!”

At DNC, Bernie Sanders Says Rich Donors Shouldn’t be Allowed to Buy Primary Elections – Yet That’s What Democrats Just Did!

Bernie Sanders spoke at the Democrat National Convention tonight and decried big money in politics, even going so far as to say that rich donors should not be allowed to buy primary elections.

That’s funny, considering that is exactly what just happened. After Biden’s disastrous debate performance, rich, Hollywood, Democrat donor George Clooney wrote an op-ed for the New York Times in July, calling on other big donors to withhold cash from the Democrat party unless and until they replaced Joe Biden with someone else.

In the days that followed, almost all of the big Democrat donors basically starved Joe Biden out of the race. These donors caused the party to cast aside the 14 million primary votes that had gone to Joe Biden over many months and installed Kamala Harris as the nominee.

And yet, Bernie Sanders can stand in front of the crowd at the DNC and say this with a straight face.

Not The Onion: Bernie Sanders’ Staffers Have Left-Wing Antiwar Activists Arrested Outside Office

A group of 50 activists and Vermont constituents staged a sit-in inside Senator Bernie Sanders’ office on Wednesday, demanding the senator to call for peace and diplomacy in Ukraine instead of more weapons and war. The sit-in resulted in the arrest of 11 activists, including an 89-year-old CODEPINK peace activist.

The group was joined by Green Party Presidential Candidate Dr. Cornel West in the Senate lobby for a prayer vigil before the sit-in. The prayer vigil and sit-in were part of a week of action that included an antiwar rally on Tuesday night featuring Dr. West, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Chair at Union Theological Seminary; Claudia de la Cruz, Co-Executive Director of The People’s Forum; Lee Camp, American comedian, writer, podcaster, news journalist; Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK and Global Exchange; and Eugene Puryear, American journalist, activist, and host on Breakthrough News.

“We need Bernie to provide leadership to put a stop to the US funding of the Ukraine war now. Use the money for healthcare, not warfare,” said Burlington resident James Marc Leas.

Crystal Zevon, an artist and CODEPINK peace activist from Barnet, VT, expressed her disappointment in Senator Sanders, who has voted for more weapons to Ukraine and even criticized Democrats who called for peace talks. “Yes, Bernie should condemn the Russian invasion, but he should also be calling for a negotiated end to this brutal war,” said Zevon.

The group carried signs in support of peace talks and negotiations, including one quote from the Senator himself in which he previously called for a diplomatic solution.

Bernie Sanders funneled $200K in campaign cash to wife and stepson’s nonprofit institute, records reveal

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders quietly funneled $200,000 from his campaign’s coffers to his wife’s nonprofit institute, which appears to do very little work and pays six figures’ worth of compensation to her son, Fox News Digital has found.

The independent senator’s committee cut two $100,000 checks to the Sanders Institute for reported charitable contributions in January and March, its Federal Election Commission records show. The expenditures are the largest from the Sanders campaign to any entity this election cycle.

The senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the Sanders Institute in 2017 to act as a think tank to promote progressive voices, The Washington Post wrote at its launch. 

“The purpose is to revitalize democracy in the support of progressive institutions,” Jane Sanders told the Post. “Our feeling is at our point in time, our country is at a crossroads, and people are engaged in a political process that can be opaque.”

Bernie Sanders: Government Should Confiscate All Wealth Over $999 Million

No billionaires at all!

Not American ones, at least.

That’s the newly proclaimed policy of Bernie Sanders, who most definitely is not challenging the Democrats to nominate him for president in 2024, as he did in 2020. Nope, Bernie is perfectly comfortable with the policies being followed by President Biden’s handlers.

Presumably, in exchange for not rocking the boat as he did in 2020, forcing the party’s controllers to pick an already senescent Joe Biden just because he was easy to control with all these bribes that could be exposed when needed (cough! Stay tuned as Biden’s desire for re-election now appears to be a kamikaze mission), Bernie has assurances that the hard left vector will continue no matter who is leading the party as presidential nominee in 2024.

Bernie Sanders’s choice of $999 million as the permissible level of wealth and no more brings to mind Barack Obama’s words: “I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”

Of course, once such a wealth confiscation is announced, billionaires will depart for friendlier shores, there will be very little left to confiscate, and entrepreneurs will be creating jobs and wealth elsewhere.

That’s what happened when France tried a wealth tax, and that’s why it was repealed.

Bernie Sanders keeps licking that boot

Gotta say it’s been quite a journey watching Bernie Sanders go from revving up a grassroots campaign that energized young people in America in a way that hadn’t been seen in several generations…to shilling for a drooling bully and, now, a spiteful cop. 

It was clear back in March that Bernie didn’t have what it takes to lead a real political movement in a time of massive uncertainty and political upheaval. He wasn’t flexible enough — and in the end, he simply didn’t have the fight in him. After getting stomped by a juiced-up Joe Biden in the last Democratic debate, he sold out his supporters at the snap of the finger — even as the pandemic was starting to rage across America. It was depressing to watch then, and it gets more and more depressing every time he does it. 

My only comment on Bernie’s total capitulation to the neoliberal Democratic Party is this: Imagine if Gennady Zyuganov didn’t just lose to a clinically deceased Boris Yeltsin in a clearly fixed election back in 1996, but actually went out campaigning for him. Imagine Zyuganov telling all the starving pro-Communist Party pensioners that had been impoverished by Yeltsin’s neoliberal shock therapy to go to the polls and vote for Yeltsin because Yeltsin can be pushed to the left. That’s Bernie. That’s what Bernie’s been doing.

It’ll Cost You $95 to Hear Bernie Sanders Tell You Why Capitalism is Bad

Riding in on his white horse to save the left from itself — yet again! — is perma-candidate Bernie Sanders and his new, super-preachy book, entitled, “It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism.” The list price of the book is $28, and here’s what’s in store for those who are foolish enough to shell out their hard-earned cash to hear a pseudo-socialist, octogenarian millionaire pontificate on why capitalism is bad:

Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans.

But wait, there’s more. Bernie is taking his act on the road! For a mere $95, you can hear Bernie Sanders, who’s never created a job in his life and has amassed a fortune on a government salary, preach to you about the evils of America — live and in person!

Where to start with all of this nonsense? First off, there’s the hilarity that Bernie Sanders, an extremely wealthy man who has exploited the system to his own great personal benefit, is angry at capitalism. He is no such thing, he celebrates it every day. He has managed to “capitalize” on hating the successful in our society and has monetized the misery of those who look to him for guidance.
