God Damn It Nancy!

You'd think this broad would learn right? You'd think that just a mere 7 MONTHS after Democrats won the majority in both houses of Congress with promises to "end the culture of corruption" that Nancy Pelosi wouldn't ask for additional perks. You'd be wrong.

She's now asking that ADULT CHILDREN of members of Congress be allowed to fly for free. She's asking that they be able to take the spot of a spouse who cannot make the flight. Just knock the shit off Nancy. You lied to the American people with your promises of "reform", but you're doing the EXACT OPPOSITE that you promised. Her spokesman even lies to the public about it within two sentences:

“It has been longstanding policy that, in the absence of a congressional spouse, the adult child of a member of Congress may accompany the member on official U.S. government travel abroad for protocol reasons and without reimbursing the U.S.
Treasury,” Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami said. “Speaker Pelosi believes that a modern policy must reflect the professional responsibilities or health realities that might prevent a spouse from participating, and instead permit an adult child to fulfill the protocol needs of the official trip.”

Pentagon officials say the policy is that the Treasury must be reimbursed at commercial rates for children who accompany members on such trips, often called codels.

He says "it has been longstanding policy", but then says "Speaker Pelosi believes that a modern policy must reflect the professional responsibilities." Well which is it? Is it already a long standing policy or isn't it? The Pentagon says that they must reimburse the Treasury. That means that it's NOT policy. They are trying to slyly imply that it's ok now, so just change the policy, wink wink.

We already pay enough towards the travel of members of Congress, stop trying to take advantage Nancy!
