Color us shocked! Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders has been demonizing people yet again.
That is the accusation thrown at him by Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla.
Mullin and Sanders got into a heated exchange after Sanders launched into questions of Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. Sanders tried to paint Schultz as wrong for having a significant net worth even though Sanders possesses a multi-million dollar net worth. Senator Mullin took a moment to point this out.
According to Fox News, Mullin said, If you can be a millionaire, why cant Mr. Schultz and other CEOs be millionaires and be honest too? Sanders responded, Thats a lie!
The two went back and forth, and Mullin said that Sanders demonizes people for having the nerve to go out and make a living for themselves.
Mullin spoke with Jimmy Falia on Fox Across America Thursday and said:
Hes demonizing all CEOs for being millionaires. He talks about equality. And heres a guy that has been nothing but in public office, and He draws a pension from being a mayor, a lifelong pension, to the point to where when he passes away, his wifes [able] to get the full pension too, every month. Hes been in office up here for 27, 28 years. And since that time, hes [been able] to accumulate a wealth of over $8 million."
Also discussed, Sanders' wife works as a social worker, so the entire Sanders family makes their money from taxpayer dollars. However, Sanders still wants to paint a picture of other people going out and earning a living in the private sector as bad.
Mullin also said when Sanders was asked about being a millionaire, he goes, well, if you want to be a millionaire, quote, write a bestseller, and you can become a millionaire. And I was like, [so] why are CEOs that are millionaires corrupt, that creates jobs, that hires the union members that youre so pro towards? Why are they corrupt, and yet a bestseller thats a millionaire thats never created a job in his life isnt? Explain that to me.
Based on this exchange, Sanders only wants to demonize those who earn their living in a way he disagrees with. Its time to turn the spotlight on the hypocrisy of what Senator Sanders decided to make an issue out of.
