Dem Sen. Gillibrand Told Sean Duffy She'd Never Flown on Private Jets but the Receipts Say Otherwise

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is on his A-game while calling out the lies and assorted BS from Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and, of course, Gavin Newsom's high-speed train to nowhere:

INSANITY! Newsom is asking for $126 BILLION more for his train to nowhere.

Thankfully, we defunded Gavin’s CRAZY TRAIN. It’s time to end the lunacy for good and stop the waste!

Speaking of high-speed transportation, the subject of private jet usage came up during Duffy's testimony before a Senate committee.

Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand got some pushback from Duffy on a subject she didn't want to talk about, and at the end of this clip you can hear her denial about having used private jets: 

🚨WOAH: GILLIBRAND GOES BALLISTIC after @SecDuffy calls out her hypocrisy 🤯

The receipts people have been finding don't really line up with Gillibrand's response to Duffy. 

Gillibrand to Duffy: “I’ve never been on a private jet!”

This 2014 story from an NBC affiliate in Buffalo contradicts that. https://t.co/ifxECsKju4 pic.twitter.com/lclDdMcxIN

We wouldn't be surprised if the senator's response to that was something like "it was chartered and not MY private jet." We've heard that spin before. 

.@gillibrandny just flat out LIED on camera. "I've never been on a private jet." BULLSHIT!
She's been flying private and luxuriously for YEARS with taxpayer money!
It's public record, Senator. pic.twitter.com/QZ8okhCeSr

Members of Congress often try to take the "this is not about ME" approach when grilling others and there are a lot of reasons for that (and we just watched one such example).
