It seems Sanders’ preference for flying private was a major source of tension between the two campaigns
It’s well known that tackling climate change is one of Bernie Sanders’ signature policy planks as he again battles to become president of the United States. That fact was underlined by his campaign-launch video last week, which warned the Vermont senator would be taking on the fossil-fuel industry.
Sanders has had some early good news, raising $10 million from more than 350,000 donors within a week of entering the Democratic primary fray. “I’m not shocked that while thousands of volunteers braved the heat and cold to knock on doors until their fingers bled in a desperate effort to stop Donald Trump, his Royal Majesty King Bernie Sanders would only deign to leave his plush D.C. office or his brand newon the lake if he was flown around on a cushy private jet like a billionaire master of the universe,” Zac Petkanas, who was the director of rapid response for the Clinton campaign, told Politco.
