Kamala Harris Joins Eco-Left Private Jet Club 

October 1, 2024

Say what you want about the eco-left, but one thing is for sure: they are consistent when it comes to their hypocritical views on private plane rides. Vice President Kamala Harris is joining the likes of John Kerry and Pete Buttigieg, spending millions on private jet travel. Harris’s campaign has spent $3.8 million on private planes even though Harris often talks about “climate anxiety” and how it shapes her life. We guess the anxiety isn’t so bad if private jets are involved. 

Fox News reports,

“Between July 24 and Aug. 30, the Harris campaign made dozens of payments to multiple different private jet companies, including the Advanced Aviation Team, Private Jet Services Group, Principal Aviation and FlexJet. Most of the payments were to Advanced Aviation, which offers aircraft ranging from eight-seater turboprop jets for trips of up to three hours to 18-seater ultra long-range jets, which deliver a “comprehensive list of on-board amenities and sophisticated finishes” and include a flight attendant for travel times of up to 16 hours, according to its website. FlexJet promotes itself as “First class meets world-class.”’ The private flights come after Harris spent years demanding that ‘”we must treat the climate crisis as the existential threat that it truly is.”

While Kamala Harris lectures the country about the dangers of climate change, she is enjoying private flights even as the Biden-Harris administration has an ambitious goal to lower aviation emissions by 20% in less than six years. Taking private flights will not help them reach that goal. 

“The NLM estimates that fuel use per passenger on private flights varies, “but [is] estimated to be on the order of 10 to 20 times higher than the average fuel use per passenger hour for a commercial flight.”

Clearly, Harris is sticking with the tried-and-true eco-left message: do as we say, not as we do.
