The political elites talk about private planes like some parents talk about taking their multiple kids to soccer practices.
A newly released 2011 email between Hillary Clinton and aide Huma Abedin shows Clinton requesting a separate plane from Michelle Obama when the two were planning to attend the funeral of former First Lady Betty Ford.
Abedin emailed Hillary on July 9, 2011, writing, We got message that (Ford) family is very inclusive and if you wanted to speak at the service, they would welcome it. Also, looks like michelle obama is going.”
Less than an hour later, Hillary wrote back, “I’d be honored to speak. Is it ok that we and Mrs. O take two separate planes?” according to the email released by Judicial Watch.
Forty eight minutes later, Huma wrote in return, “I think its ok. But let me see what kind of plane she’s taking.”
“I would rather have our own plane of course,” Clinton responded.
This week, Clinton, ever the climate carper, slammed Donald Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Accord.
A historic mistake. The world is moving forward together on climate change. Paris withdrawal leaves American workers & families behind.

“A historic mistake. The world is moving forward together on climate change,” she wrote.
The newly released email shows Clinton wasn’t willing to move forward together with Michelle Obama to the Ford funeral. What was the environmental impact of that?
