Bernie Sanders calls out income inequality during ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour

US Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) highlighted growing income inequality between the top 1% and the bottom 93% of Americans while speaking as part of his Fighting Oligarchy Tour in Harrisburg and Bethlehem this past weekend.

Sanders spent the weekend touring Pennsylvania with Congressman Chris Deluzio (D-Allegheny), bringing together thousands of Pennsylvanians at his stops.

Both stops along Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy Tour are home to two of Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable Republican Congressmen, US Reps. Scott Perry (R-York) and Ryan Mackenzie (R-Lehigh), and Democrats are hoping to flip those seats in the 2026 midterm elections.

Since day one, our goal here at The Keystone has always been to empower people across the commonwealth with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Pennsylvania families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
