No, Bernie Didn’t Spend Your $27 On An Audi R8-What the Heck!

There’s a rumor on the internet that Bernie Sanders has been living a life of luxury, complete with an Audi R8. Surprise, it’s not true. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“On 30 March 2016, several photographs purportedly showing Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders driving an expensive sports car were posted to the 4Chan web site:…

While many forum users were skeptical that the man in the car was indeed Sanders, one user attempted to add credibility to the photographs by claiming that he saw the Democratic presidential candidate driving what appeared to be an expensive Audi R8 behind some of his own campaign vehicles in photographs dated 17 March 2016…

It’s possible that these photographs were taken at different times and in different locations. The claims are highly questionable, though, as it is extremely unlikely that Bernie Sanders would be driving himself in a vehicle trailing his own campaign bus (especially without Secret Service protection in tow), even more so as Sanders was stumping in Arizona that day and was not scheduled to appear with “Black Men for Bernie.”

It’s difficult to tell what highway the red car is seen driving on, of course, and none of the available photographs appears to include any license plate information. It’s clear, however, that the terrain shown does not even vaguely resemble Flagstaff, Arizona, where Sanders was that day.
