EXPOSED: Pelosi Has History of Abusing Military Travel on Taxpayer Dime (Details)

Linkedin Share

Nancy Pelosi and the mainstream media were up in arms after President Trump canceled the speaker’s trip abroad.

Heck, a Pelosi spokesman even suggested that 45 put Pelosi’s life in danger because he announced that she’d have to fly private if she still wanted to go (more on that below).

The California liberal must not have remembered that there’s a partial government shutdown taking place at the moment.

If workers can’t get paid, Nancy shouldn’t be allowed to fly on the taxpayers’ dime.

That should be common sense.

As it turns out, Pelosi has an extensive history of abusing military travel paid for by the American people.

From Judicial Watch:

In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, “Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi’s team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?…[T]here’s no need to block every weekend ‘just in case’…” The email also notes that Pelosi’s office had, “a history of canceling many of their past requests.”

One DOD official complained about the “hidden costs” associated with the speaker’s last minute changes and cancellations. “We have…folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc.”

Top shelf liquor, huh?

Check out this video on Pelosi’s travel from 2009:

Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, implies that President Trump is putting Pelosi and other Democrats in danger.

Hammill should apologize for being such a fear-mongering zealot.

On Thursday, Trump sent a letter to Pelosi informing her that he cancelled her upcoming trip to Europe and the Middle East.

Trump told Pelosi that she could not use military aircraft — which are funded by taxpayers — but could still make the trip if she wanted to fly commercial on her own dime.

LOOK:

More:

Pelosi was planning to head to Belgium, Egypt, and Afghanistan on the taxpayers’ dime – as one does when elected to public office.

Her bags were all packed. She was ready to go.

Then, President Trump said no dice.

If Nancy wants to fly overseas to bash America she’ll have to fly private.

What happened next?

Pelosi’s luggage was sent back to her office!

From Free Beacon:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s luggage has been returned to the halls of congress by cart, according to a picture sent to the Washington Free Beacon by a snap-happy tipster.

WATCH:

The border wall is a “luxury” that America “can’t afford.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi must really hate her country to say something this asinine.

Turning to the wall, Pelosi said, “It’s a luxury our country can’t afford under any circumstance. This is certainly a luxury we can’t afford when he has shut down government, takes pride in it and says months or years.”
