Return of the Bern

 Washington, DC

Bernie Sanders likes private jets. That, at least, is the malicious word being put about by Hillary Clinton’s former aides this week, just days after Sanders announced that he is again running for president. Sanders, you’ll recall, lost a vicious fight against Clinton for the Democratic nomination in the first half of 2016. Yet in the weeks leading up to the November election, he held 39 rallies in 13 different states that were pro-Hillary and anti-Trump. Pretty noble of him, you might think, given how the Clinton machine had taken him down. According to Team Hillary, however, Bernie behaved like a bolshie diva. He insisted that chartered planes must take him everywhere. And he has the nerve to preach about climate change and the avaricious 0.2 per cent! Listen carefully to this Clintonite griping, however, and you hear panic.
