Agree with overall tone of article, though the lede is not thought out.

All House Speakers has access to mil aircraft.. no matter what party. Nancy is keeping a long tradition alive.

What separates Nancy from others:
– is she is trying to get a larger aircraft than allowed. The Speaker gets a “Corporate Jet” size plane. She’s tried to upgrade this to a significantly larger “Commercial Airline” size plane. This is a increase in costs to the taxpayer. And in my opionion, is a key indicator of her weak character and intellect.
– she is trying to fly passengers that are not allowed the perk of govt subsidized air travel
