Bernie Sanders and AOC Lead ‘Fight Oligarchy’ Tour to Los Angeles With Record-Breaking Rally
Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, drew what his campaign called the largest crowd ever for his campaign in Los Angeles on Saturday. He was joined by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and a group of lawmakers.
Sanders’ communications director Anna Bahr posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday afternoon, sharing a photo of the massive rally crowd at Gloria Molina Grand Park.
“Can confirm that this is the biggest @BernieSanders rally ever. 36,000 people are out in Los Angeles right now,” Anna Bahr wrote.
In a follow-up post, she added another side of the event and wrote: “36,000 strong in Los Angeles. Biggest @BernieSanders rally ever.”
A few hours ago, Bahr reposted the link to the event’s live stream and wrote: “Over 19,000 people are now in the area. @BernieSanders and @AOC won’t be going for another two hours.”
Sanders has been traveling the country as part of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, a campaign he launched to push back against both Donald Trump and Elon Musk, currently the world’s richest man. Musk, who heads Tesla and SpaceX, is also leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been cutting the budgets and laying off thousands of federal employees.
Sanders shared a post on X, thanking the crowd saying:
“Thank you, Los Angeles, for our biggest rally ever. 36,000 people came out today to say NO to Trumpism, NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism, and NO to a rigged economy.
Sanders said Saturday during the Los Angeles rally. Let me tell you something about the oligarchs. They are very, very religious people. But their religion isn’t based on doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. Their religion is not based on love or justice. Their religion is based on greed, greed and more greed,” Sanders says
Speaking at the rally, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pointed to the role of money in Republican politics, saying, “Big money is how we got Donald Trump. And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them.
Representative Ro Khanna also addressed the crowd, saying, “You had the richest guy in the world (Elon musk) spend $250 million to put Donald Trump back in the White House. Then Trump hands him the keys to slash Medicaid, gut public education, and rip food stamps away from families.”
Fox Eleven’s Matthew Seedorf live Report at the Gloria Molina Grand Park says I got to tell you, these crowds, they stretched all the way to City Hall up on the stairs, and then they wrapped all the way as far as the eye could see to the south, Matthew says
He added that it’s hard to believe it’s not a presidential election year. A sea of people shoulder to shoulder outside LA City Hall. The largest crowds so far for New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. There are people half a mile away in Vermont, Senator Bernie Sanders, here on their nationwide tour called Fight Oligarchy. Money in politics is in the hands of an oligarchy. Los Angeles.
AOC says A few days ago, ICE officials attempted to enter two LAUSD schools to target kids. Sanders also says (Elon Musk) that He is illegally abolishing agencies that Congress created.
