House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seems to have repeatedly requested military aircraft to transport her, her colleagues, and family all over the country. This report was filed by Judicial Watch, which obtained e-mails, and other documentation through a Freedom of Information request. The documents show that Pelosi has abused the system in place to accommodate herself, family, and congressional leaders. She has treated the U.S. Air Force as her own personal airline.
Not only would Pelosi make these requests, but more often than not they were last minute requests, followed by last minute cancellations. Calling to cancel after having a air force jet prepared. It also turns out that many requests have been made by her aides. In one e-mail, Pelosi aide Kay King complained to the military that they had not made available ANY aircraft the House Speaker wanted for the Memorial Day recess. "It is my understanding that there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable, the Speaker will want to know where the planes are," King went on to write that, "This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset Speaker."
It would appear that not only does Speaker Pelosi treat the military as the Department of Transportation, but she shows very little concern for her "carbon foot print." Maybe, the speaker should show some concern for the economy, and use her millions to buy a plane ticket. That sounds like a good way to stimulate the airline industry. Nah, will wait to bail the airlines out with the third stimulus.
