Just hours
after Hillary Clinton unveiled her presidential campaign's push to solve
global warming through an aggressive carbon-cutting plan, she sauntered
up the steps of a 19-seat private jet in Des Moines, Iowa.
The
aircraft, a Dassault model Falcon 900B, burns 347 gallons of fuel per
hour. And like all Dassault business jets, Hillary's ride was made in
France.
The Trump-esque transportation costs $5,850 per hour to rent, according to the website of Executive Fliteways, the company that owns it.
And she has used the same plane before, including on at least one trip for speeches that brought her $500,000 in fees.
On Monday
the Democratic presidential front-runner announced the details of her
initiative to tackle climate change, calling it 'one of the most urgent
threats of our time.'
But shortly afterward, a videographer working with the conservative America Rising PAC spotted her at the private air terminal in Des Moines.
Fifteen
seconds of video shot just after 12:00 noon, local time, shows Clinton
walking up the plane's stairs while an aide holds a giant black umbrella
over her head to sheld her from falling rain.
'Despite
her campaign’s best efforts to rebrand her as a down-to-earth fighter
for "everyday Americans," Hillary Clinton’s jet-setting ways are just
further confirmation that she’s out of touch with the American people,'
the group's communications driector Jeff Bechdel told DailyMail.com.
'It’s that kind of hypocrisy that makes the majority of voters say Clinton is not honest or trustworthy.'
