Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has a lot of explaining to do as allegations of hypocrisy are once again being thrown around after it was revealed that she spent more than half-a-million dollars on private jets in 2021 while publicly claiming that climate change is the United States’ biggest threat.
On February 7th, Federal Election Commission reports revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s campaign spent $437,000 for 10 trips on a private jet in 2021, plus two payments of $67,000 to a California company.
While she was spending all of that money, the Democrat congresswoman was repeatedly referring to climate change as a “huge threat,” even going so far as to say that it was more important than the human right abuses currently taking place in communist China.
At a climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland, Pelosi lectured average people about their “moral obligation” to reduce carbon emissions while she pushed Joe Biden’s failed Build Back Better bill.
“About a half a trillion dollars in this legislation to protect the planet, it’s a health issue,” she said. “Clean air, clean water for our children…and it is a moral issues. If you believe as I do that this is God’s creation and we have a moral obligation to be good stewards. But even if you don’t share that view religiously, we all share it morally that we have a responsibility to future generations.”
Of course, being a Democrat means that you are able to do whatever you want, and never practice what you preach.
Pelosi can talk all she wants about the need to reduce emissions, and still use a private jet, and no one on the left will ever call her out on it. So can every other Democrat.
Joe Biden did the same thing: in 2021, while also pushing the left’s climate change narrative, Biden spent $15 million flying on private jets. He also continues to use Air Force One to travel home to Delaware on the weekends.
According to Aviation Director of Transport and Environment Andrew Murphy, flying on a private jet is “probably one of the worst things you can do for the environment,” and yet these Democrat super polluters are flying around the world like they believe there is no climate crisis.
