"Throw these bums out": #AOC and #BernieSanders take their campaign against "#oligarchy" out west

Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders addressed thousands at their "#FightingOligarchy" tour stops in #Nevada and #Arizona

Sanders: “We will not allow you to move this country to an oligarchy. We’re not going to allow you and your friend Mr. Musk and the other billionaires to wreak havoc on this country. We’re not a poor country. There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.”

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders hit the road this week to rally Democrats to fight back against President Donald #Trump and billionaire Elon #Musk’s 'move to an oligarchy.'

"The Vermonter and New Yorker each brought their #ProWorker stump speeches to the #southwestern purple states on Thursday, day one of a three-day tour.

"The pair's #LasVegas stop drew over a thousand people, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, with supporters chanting 'primary Chuck' during AOC’s speech, referring to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In #TempeArizona, the duo addressed a crowd of more than 15,000 between an arena and overflow attendees outside, the senator said on social media.

"Speaking in #Arizona, Sanders, whose 'Fighting Oligarchy Tour' has already touched down in #Wisconsin and #Michigan, homed in on the #billionaires he says are tightening their grip on the country."
