Bernie Sanders is a fan of bread lines and believes that Americans have too much deodorant to choose from. “You don’t necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants when children are hungry in this country.”
But Bernie Sanders does need a $600K lakefront summer home to relax in so he can advocate for all those hungry kiddies.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the proud new owner of a summer home in the Champlain Islands, Seven Days has confirmed.
The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero.
Sanders’ new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island — facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally.“We've traveled up to the islands many times over the years — almost always on day trips," Sanders' wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, told Seven Days in a written statement. "We've been impressed with the North Hero community, eaten at the North Hero House and Shore Acres and have suggested them to friends who were looking for a beautiful place to stay or have dinner. St. Anne's Shrine in Isle La Motte is my favorite church and it is nearby."
Every member of the working class should have one of those. Just like Bernie.
Last Tuesday, the day of the closing, a relaxed-looking Bernie Sanders posed for a photo at Hero’s Welcome General Store on Route 2. The store, a bit south of his new abode, serves a sandwich called "Feel the Bun" in the senator’s honor. The $6.99 deli delight consists of a "HUGE" homemade roll, sliced turkey, fresh apple chutney, hot pepper relish, lettuce, tomato and provolone cheese.
“It’s not fair that the Billionaire Class controls 99 percent of the bread,” the menu description reads. “Here’s a sandwich for the rest of us … to keep us nourished until everything cool is free!”
Socialism. This is exactly what it looks like. And no, the sandwich isn't free. Just like Bernie Sanders isn't redistributing lakefront homes. The nomenklatura get privileges the peasants don't.
