Bernie Sanders had a quick turnaround trip to the Vatican in Rome where he attended a conference on Friday.

Not long after Sanders issued a dire warning about the grave threat posed by climate change, the income inequality crusader chartered a private 767 for the long trip to Italy:

"…an average American releases less carbon emissions via aircraft each year than Sanders did in 24 hours." https://t.co/u52PoeaXGw

There’s somebody who’s serious about lowering fossil fuel emissions!

But the best part has to be the menu aboard the flight, which was Goldman Sachs-worthy:

That all looks delicious! But where’s the Ben & Jerry’s?

Hey, on the surface, this “socialism” thing doesn’t look so bad!

It also reads like the lunch menu at the Obama girls' school, Sidwell. Hypocrisy & liberals alwaysgo together. https://t.co/XCWN1VBnP5

Not just a swimming pool socialist, but a charter plane socialist. Obscene. https://t.co/FHoZ7PXFq4

The topic of Sanders’ address at the Vatican? “The idolatry of money.”
