Anyone who thinks Comrade Sanders is really for the little guy (or gal) is kidding. Like most other politicians, Comrade Sanders has used his political career to enrich himself and his family, not his constituency in Vermont. Remember the third house Comrade Sanders and wife Fat Jane bought back in 2016? How do you think he got the money for it?

The gap between the image Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., portrays and the reality of how he conducts his own affairs is a “major problem” for his candidacy, investigative reporter Peter Schweizer said Wednesday.
In an appearance on “Fox & Friends” with host Steve Doocy, Schweizer explained that while the 2020 presidential candidate may talk about the common good, his public service has benefitted his family financially over the years.
According to Schweizer’s investigations, Sanders’ wife Jane Driscoll Sanders was appointed to several positions of influence when he was mayor of Burlington, Vt. After the pair were married in 1988, she received a big pay increase — ignoring objections from the city council.
“Bernie ignored them and that began this pattern of sort of steering money – taxpayer money and campaign money – to his family,” the “Profiles in Corruption” author said.
