Pelosi continues massive private jet spending after relinquishing leadership post
Fox News ^ | 5/03/23 | Joe Schoffstall

California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has continued her jet-setting ways despite relinquishing her leadership post and pushing for aggressive climate policies, according to a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records.

The former Democratic leader's campaign disbursed $43,663.80 on private jet travel with Advanced Aviation in March and appears to be the biggest private jet spender during the first quarter of the year, her filings show.

Pelosi has now spent nearly $700,000 on charter aircraft in recent years, primarily with Advanced Aviation, her longtime preferred company.

Based just outside of Washington D.C., in Northern Virginia, Advanced Aviation offers aircraft ranging from eight-seater turboprop jets for trips of up to three hours to 18-seater ultra long-range jets, which deliver a "comprehensive list of on-board amenities and sophisticated finishes" and include a flight attendant for travel times of up to 16 hours...

**SNIP**

Pelosi has been a vocal proponent of slashing carbon pollution and phasing out fossil fuels despite her excessive private jet use. Last year, after leading a congressional delegation to a United Nations climate summit in Egypt, she said, "Nothing can deter House Democrats from our urgent mission to save the planet."

However, in recent years, other left-wing committees have also spent big on private jet travel. The Democratic National Committee shelled out $337,903 on the flights, while the DSCC spent $223,929 during the midterm elections.

The Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund - a joint fundraising venture consisting of the DNC, all 50 state Democratic parties, and the District of Columbia Democratic Committee - spent $94,164 on private jets.

**SNIP**

Private jet travel is by far the most carbon-intensive mode of transportation. It emits 10 times more carbon than commercial planes and 50 times more carbon than trains, according to a 2021 report from the group Transport & Environment.

This elitist pig loves only $ and power. Nothing else. I hope justice/karma finds this old bag somehow before she gives up her ghost.

Limousine Liberals too smart or cute by half. It’s for the earth and the little people they love to boss around. No one bosses them. Unaccountable.

That the company?

Don’t see a person of color in the leadership.

Note to Pelosi: Talk is cheap, ain’t it.

Put her on a Greyhound bus, if they’re still in business. She will just have to share bathroom privileges.

She also recently bought an ocean front mansion, in Florida. Ocean front. Probably with insider trading funds.

Disgusting.

Why does this bag-o-bones have such a long shelf-life?

Must be that ‘deal’ she made in her youth...

I would love that. And I’d even more enjoy being a fly on the wall, watching her screech in indignation when she received it.

How much does it cost to buy a federal regulation or law in 2023?

Wasn’t it Trump who clipped her wings once when she was going to jet off to somewhere? Seems like I recall that.

Does McCarthy, as Speaker, have any power to stop her as this has to do with budget?

Yes, it was Trump who refused to authorize a certain long distance “Vanity Flight” at taxpayers expense.
Nancy could have easily paid for it herself, but she liked the special treatment.
I doubt if Kevin has the nerve to do that, without telegraphing his intention first, thus taking the shock & awe out of it.

George Bush is the one who gave her a taxpayer paid for air force jet to use all the time to fly to her home in California. She also used it to travel around the country selling her book....
