Socialists Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) and teaming up again to hold anti-Trump rallies in multiple states, while raging against President Donald Trump and DOGE leader Elon Musk.
Sanders and AOC, along with many other radical Democrats, continue to falsely claim that Trump is a ‘dictator’ who only wants to give tax cuts to billionaires and cut off benefits and services for the American people.
Last weekend, Sanders held rallies in Michigan and Wisconsin, calling his tour, “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here.”
Sanders posted a video on X Friday, announcing the next stops on his tour, and said AOC will be with him. The news has now surfaced that Sanders and AOC are asking the attendees of their rallies to wear MASKS.
“Next week, @AOC and I will be taking the Fighting Oligarchy tour out west. We will be in Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado to hold town meetings with working people who are profoundly disgusted with what is going on in Washington, D.C. I hope you’ll join us,” he said.
AOC responded to the video, writing, “Nevada, Colorado, Arizona: You deserve public servants who show up for you. The time is now to protect the public good, advance healthcare and living wages for all, and fight against corruption. See you next week.”

Conservative writer and podcaster Stephen L. Miller posted a copy of an RSVP confirmation message from Sanders, which includes the following requirement:
“Masks are advised for all attendees of this event. Anyone experiencing a fever or other symptoms of COVID-19 is asked to stay home and not attend.”

Social media is ablaze over Sanders and AOC requiring attendees to wear face masks at their rallies, as the COVID-19 pandemic has been over for a long time.
One person wrote, “Many assume that Leftist morons wear masks to hide their identity- but these people do this even if they’re not planning on doing anything violent. These absolute fools really do believe “wearing a piece of cloth over my face makes me a good person.” It’s pure insanity.”
X user Anita Khalini wrote, “Masks recommended. At an outdoor event. On March 21, **2025**. Are they ever going to give this up??”
Daily Wire’s Ashe Short wrote, “It’s 2025.”
Outkick writer Ian Miller mocked, “Absolutely amazing. They really are going to wear masks outside forever. Incredible.”
Hal Furman noted, “This is March 2025 not 2020.”
Brian Dawsom wrote, “In 2025. These numbnuts are sheep.”
Podcast host Dave Rubin wrote, “Dude give them the benefit of the doubt they probably mean terrorist masks not covid masks.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) mocked, “To be fair, at a Bernie event, you’d want to wear a mask too. Otherwise, people might recognize you….”
To be fair, at a Bernie event, you’d want to wear a mask too.
Otherwise, people might recognize you…. https://t.co/64cRv5cGa5

😂 what years does Bernie think it is?

One possible explanation:
It’s to hide their faces because lots of them are paid and travel from rally to rally and with all the cameras around it would be easy to see how his crowds really are just his devotees and paid shills

This is political programming! I’ve been at Disney all week, seen two mask total! Anyone advocating for attendance to wear a mask has a political reason!

Masks are advised to provide anonymity.
Just like for bank robbers.

They’re testing to see if they still have 100% control of their sycophants. I’m willing to bet yes.

Living in Bay Area, I still see people biking/scootering/walking dogs outside, alone, wearing a mask. Every day. In 2025. That’s how deep the Covid-cult mindset persists.

We can ID with only the eyes now and it’s actually way more sophisticated than that. They better wear full burkas.

***** FLASHBACK *****
Below is Bernie Sanders in 2011… saying exactly what Elon Musk has ben saying today.
“I will not deny for one second that there is waste and fraud and bureaucracy in almost every government program out there. I believe we’ve got to take a hard look at them all…. if we did all or some of these things, we could easily reduce the deficit by well over $4 trillion over the next decade, if not much more.”
2011. Bernie Sanders does an entire presentation on cutting waste and bureaucracy from the government.
Now Mr. “We Only Have 10 Years Left Because of Climate Change” is attacking the EV guy for trying to cut waste and bureaucracy from the government.

Bernie Sanders was also saying the same thing about waste and fraud in government in 2008.
And shocker… he admits that while it’s right to condemn the Congress for the waste, “it’s also important to note that we have an administration… and the function of the administration is to administer, so that when there is waste and fraud, the administration should also be on top of the situation.”
What an incredible ad for DOGE. Thank’s Bernie!
2008. Bernie Sanders acknowledges there is an incredible amount of waste and fraud in the government and then claims it’s the responsibility of the President’s administration to do something about it. pic.twitter.com/e4C1MJpdTx
