‘Fair Share’ Stooge Bernie Sanders Makes $1 Million For The Second Year In A Row

Bernie Sanders– AKA the king of compassion (HAHAHAHA– sorry, I couldn’t keep a straight face on that one), is rolling in the dough.

Last year, he made over $1 million, which means– to the average American– he’s rich. It’s super awkward, because I thought rich people were evil and selfish?

A recent financial disclosure report shows the junior Vermont senator made nearly $1.06 million in 2017. Most of his income — $885,767 — came from advances and royalties, according to the report filed in May.

Sanders earned $174,000 for his service in the Senate.

The senator hit the $1 million mark for the first time in 2016. Most of his income came from a book deal “Our Revolution,” which came out after his failed bid for the Democratic nomination for president.

But listen– this doesn’t ruin his messaging AT ALL.

Jeff Weaver, the senator’s senior political adviser, said in an interview with VTDigger that questions about whether Sanders’ newfound wealth undermines his message about wealth inequality were “ridiculous.”

“That was a pretty funny question, Anne,” Weaver said. “Bernie Sanders continues to fight for working class people across this country so I think it’s a pretty ridiculous question.”

You hear that? It’s a ridiculous question, and um…yeah. Ridic. Like why would you even ask that?

PS remember this?

How many yachts do billionaires need? How many cars do they need? Give us a break. You can't have it all.

Bernie has three homes, including a $575k summer vacation home. Just FYI.

I guess you CAN have it all. (As long as you’re Bernie Sanders.)
