POOR BERNIE NEEDS TO RETAKE ECONOMICS 101

Bernie Sanders is branded a hypocrite and mercilessly mocked online after the socialist firebrand admits he will have to CUT the hours of staffers so that he can pay them the $15 minimum wage he is campaigning for

Sanders' campaign staffers are asking for a wage equivalent to $15 per hour. He has argued for that wage both on the campaign trail and in the Senate.

But field organizers put in 60 hours a week - the equivalent to $13 an hour. They have asked campaign manager Faiz Shakir to boost their salaries and Sanders said his campaign will now limit the number of hours staffers work.

The move has been mocked as Sanders 'practicing economics for the first time', inset.

So does this fall under the category of hypocrisy, irony, or poetic justice? All three? Can't make this stuff up', Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw tweeted.

Ben Shaprio wrote: 'In which Bernie Sanders learns about economics'.

And Donald Trump Jr's girlfriend and former Fox News host Kimberley Guilfoyle tweeted: 'The rules of economics exist, even within the campaign of a socialist!'

Bernie is a hump who doesn't practice what he preaches. When your own staffers rat you out, you don't have a chance.

It doesn't have to WORK, all that it needs to do is make you feel morally superior.
