Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., often requested a private jet to travel to events while campaigning for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, according to former Clinton staffers.
Sanders has continued using a private jet in the two years since the election, spending almost $350,000 on flights, according to Politico. The former Clinton campaign workers accused the septuagenarian socialist senator of hypocrisy, juxtaposing his fondness for jets with his rhetoric regarding fossil fuels and wealth.
