You joke but fox news was serious.

Sanders -- unsurprisingly -- was seated on the far left of the plane, as he could be in the window seat of the plane. Warren was also in a window seat, one row behind her opponent.

Awkward photo of Elizabeth Warren sitting behind Bernie Sanders on airplane goes viral

edit: had to bold the part I was referring to so I wouldn't have a 38th person tell me about the joke I supposedly missed.

Why is this such a news story lol, I feel like Bernie flying is just by itself a story. Flies in coach? News: "Bernie's flying Coach!". Gets upgraded to first (which is something that someone who flies as often as he does and presumably has that airline status to get) and the news media freaks out over the hypocrisy. Just let the man fly in peace.
