Atlantic journo’s attempt to tout Elizabeth Warren’s woman-of-the-people bona fides crashes and burns

for whatever it’s worth on this whole back and forth, Warren makes a point of refusing the frequent flyer first class upgrades https://t.co/3TmQ7JMMtV

Good for her! Woman of the people! She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk!

Except not really.

We’re all laughing because refusing a first-class flight upgrade isn’t really that special when you make a point of flying everywhere in a private plane.

Does a private plane have an economy section?

Probably cause she flies PRIVATE planes instead ??

Psst.

She flies in private jets. https://t.co/K58f6JYrOc

Because…. wait for it…. she flies in private planes.

She doesn't earn frequent flier points when she's flying private.

That is because the Private Jets she flies are all one class.

Why fly 1st class when you can fly private?

— Huy Fong (@Mott5) February 13, 2020

Because she flies private, but nice try otherwise.
