BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Sen. Sanders, I-Vt., suggested Monday it would be “truly heroic” if Disney used the profits made from the blockbuster “Avengers: Endgame” to pay its workers more, in response to a report the Marvel hit set multiple records at the box office a day after it opened Friday. “Endgame” shattered the record for biggest opening weekend with an estimated $350 million in ticket sales domestically and $1.2 billion globally, reaching a new pinnacle in the blockbuster era that the comic-book studio has come to dominate. “What would be truly heroic is if Disney used its profits from ‘Avengers’ to pay all of its workers a middle class wage, instead of paying its CEO Bob Iger $65.6 million – over 1,400 times as much as the average worker at Disney makes,” Sanders tweeted. Iger responded to Sanders in a tweet, using Disney references to express himself. “I ‘marvel’ at the stupidity of Bernie Sanders. His appearance and his thoughts are ‘goofy’. I don’t like president ‘Donald’, but if I ever meet Sanders, he better “duck’”.
