The “fact checkers” keep sounding like they’re merely doing aggressive spin for the Democrats. On February 25, PolitiFact flagged Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) as “False” for writing in an Orlando Sentinel op-ed that the Green New Deal has a goal of “ending air travel.”
Just like the Washington Post “fact checkers who hammered Rep. Liz Cheney on this,” PolitiFact’s Amy Sherman says “climate advocates” insist everyone should ignore the FACT that Rep.

Just because they want to eliminate airplanes doesn’t mean the end of air travel. We’ll still be able to use pigs to fly.
It’s called the Green New Deal because it’s gonna cost a lot of “green”.
Everyone knows that just isn't true. Air travel will still be around; it will only be permitted for politicians and protected political classes, but it will still be around...
...and the military.
As we animal farm our way to the future: there will be no public air travel.
Prisoners cannot travel.
