Bernie Sanders says his rallies with AOC make Trump, Musk ‘nervous’
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are on a mission to fight against oligarchy, and their latest rally in downtown Los Angeles was their largest to date. The dynamic duo drew a massive crowd of around 36,000 supporters, sending a clear message to both President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
During the rally, Sanders, who is 83 years old and caucuses with Democrats, took the stage to thunderous applause. He wasted no time in calling out Trump and Musk for feeling threatened by the size and energy of their events. Sanders even made a playful jab at Musk’s claim that attendees at their previous rally in Denver were paid organizers, by asking the LA crowd if anyone was being paid to be there, to which the resounding answer was “no.”
Trump also came under fire from Sanders, who accused the president of being envious of crowd sizes and spreading lies about the turnout at their events. Sanders didn’t stop there – he continued to criticize both Musk and Trump for their wealth and influence, highlighting the growing power of billionaires in shaping the economic and political landscape of the country.
The rally in Los Angeles served as a platform for Sanders to express his concerns about the direction the country is heading in, with a few individuals holding immense power and influence. He warned against the rise of authoritarianism and stressed the importance of upholding the principles of democracy and the Constitution.
Sanders also addressed Musk’s recent social media post, acknowledging the billionaire’s observation that he has been talking about the growth of oligarchy for years. Sanders affirmed his stance on the issue, stating that we are currently living in an oligarchic society, not just moving towards one.
This event in Los Angeles was just one stop on their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, with previous rallies in Las Vegas, Arizona, and Colorado. The duo has more rallies planned in California, Utah, Idaho, and Montana, with a strong message against the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few.
As Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez continue to draw massive crowds and support on their tour, they are sending a clear message to the White House and the country as a whole. The fight against oligarchy is real, and they are leading the charge to ensure that the voices of the people are heard and the power remains in the hands of the many, not the few.
