Must be nice to be Auntie Maxine.
On Tuesday, the Daily Caller’s Benny Johnson took to Twitter after noticing that he was on the same flight back to Washington, D.C., as the California Democrat.
Johnson wrote that Waters was sitting in first class and was reading a newspaper article about herself.
HEY LOOK – It’s Maxine Waters sitting in First Class on my flight to DC during the government shutdown.
Fancy.
This is the only photo I could snap since she’s in the first row & I’m literally in the last row.
(She’s reading a newspaper article about herself – lol)

Must be nice to fly first class and read glowing reviews from the liberal media about yourself while roughly 800,000 federal employees currently aren’t receiving a paycheck because of the partial government shutdown.
Seems like every time Democrats get a chance to skip town, they hop on a taxpayer-funded plane and leave.
Last week, Trump cancelled a trip that Pelosi and countless other Democrats were getting ready to go on about 30 minutes before they were scheduled to leave.
Pelosi and company were planning to use taxpayer-funded military aircraft to travel to the Middle East for various events, but Trump barred all lawmakers from using the military for any travel while the government is shutdown.
Up until late last week, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives was scheduled to take an 11-day “break” but cancelled after outrage grew on social media.
Earlier this month, more than 30 Democrats took taxpayer charter jets to Puerto Rico for a retreat, where they were sunbathing on the beach, partying, and attended the Broadway show Hamilton.
Over Christmastime, Pelosi vacationed at a 5-star resort in Hawaii when the government shutdown began.
Democrats never miss an opportunity to skip town and avoid any negotiations with Trump to reopen the government.
The president has held numerous working lunches and meetings with congressional leaders to find a solution to reopen the government and provide funding for a border wall between the United States and Mexico.
Democrats have refused to even give $1 for the wall.
Pelosi has also suggested paving roads near the borders so illegal aliens can enter the country, mowing the grass, and using an “electronic dog.”
