Hillary-Bill-Clinton

Must be fun to take private jets across America even though you’re broke.

Via The Hill:

The cost to campaigns and political committees of flying in Bill and Hillary Clinton on private jets to campaign for the midterms topped $1.5 million, according to a Politico review of filings.

Republicans have been pushing the narrative that Hillary Clinton is out of touch, ahead of her likely presidential campaign, and the Republican National Committee quickly seized on the article on Friday, sending out an email entitled “High-flying Hillary Part II.”

While the Clintons could not legally pay for their travel for a campaign, the Politico review found that there were more than 60 payments made to the company Executive Fliteways for flights in 2013 and 2014, as the Clintons stumped for Democrats across the country.

The news comes as Clinton has also faced scrutiny for her paid speeches and the travel requirements for her events. “Hillary Clinton isn’t just charging losing campaigns for extravagant travel, she also demands chartered jets for speeches — even at public universities,” the RNC email states.
