"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?
What a hoot!
These politicians (even Socialists!) who pretend to be just one of the people are often spoiled and pampered prima donnas.
Ms. Nancy has a fit if she doesn't get a private jet; Ms. Hillary demands the best food on her flights.
Public "servants"? I don't think so.
Do you understand why we are socialists? Us rich liberals?
It's because we see the masses aren't making enough. So we want to make their lives easier even if it means we have to pay more taxes. After all, we are rich.
Yes we still drive in private jets and we own 5 big houses. That doesn't change the fact that we care about the poor and middle class. That's why we want them to have universal healthcare, affordable college, good pay, unions, etc.
You capitalist pigs want the treat the poor like shit. It's how you maximize profits. We believe in capitalism too. Just well regulated capitalism. Socialism when necessary. Greedy insurance, oil companies gouging us, prisons, elections, public parks, social security, medicare. Some things need to be socialized and some things need to be better regulated.
