"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is a demanding hotel guest whose requirements would make even the most pampered celebrity blush, according to a new book detailing Democratic Party politics. Author Edward-Isaac Dovere reports that following Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, the democratic socialist’s staffers put together a “Senator Comfort Memo” detailing his specifications for each hotel stay on his travels. According to Dovere, Sanders preferred suites with bathtubs and a king-size bed “which had to have a down comforter or another blanket in the closet."
Sanders, 79, required that his room be kept at 60 degrees even if it meant opening a window in winter or manually overriding the hotel’s climate control system. The book adds that Sanders would preserve his man-of-the-people bona fides by turning down room upgrades, occasionally swapping with aides and telling them, "if there’s a bomb in there, it’s yours tonight.”
Is this guy serious?? He actually books rooms at hotels and demands they give him a King-size bed?? And not only does he want to seize the controls of production, he actually believes he can seize the controls of climate and turn the AC down to 60?? Outrageous!
And to make matters worse; this guy turns down room upgrades and gives them to his staffers; knowingly putting them in danger?? In fact, he makes jokes about them being blown up by bombs?? How is this not being talked about more?
