Climate Crusader or Carbon Queen?
In a stunning display of “do as I say, not as I do,” Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has managed to burn through millions on private jet flights faster than a California wildfire. This comes despite her constant harping about climate change being an “existential threat.” It seems the only thing existential here is the threat to her campaign’s bank account.
According to recent Federal Election Commission filings, Harris’ campaign dropped a cool $3.8 million on private planes in less than six weeks. That’s right, folks – while lecturing us about our carbon footprints, she’s been leaving a carbon crater with her jet-setting ways. The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife – if you could afford one after all this inflation.
Hollywood’s Favorite Customer
But wait, there’s more! The Harris campaign didn’t just splurge on private jets. They went full Hollywood, quite literally. A jaw-dropping $1,000,000 payment to Oprah’s production firm has left many wondering if Harris is running for President or auditioning for a reality show. And let’s not forget the six-figure set for her appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. Because nothing says “serious presidential candidate” like blowing campaign funds on podcast decor.
“There’s no question we have to be practical. But being practical also recognizes that climate change is an existential threat to us as human beings. Being practical recognizes that greenhouse gas emissions are threatening our air and threatening the planet and that it is well within our capacity as human beings to change our behaviors in a way that we can reduce its effects. That’s practical.” – Kamala Harris –
Practical indeed, Madam Vice President. Nothing says “changing behaviors” like chartering private jets left and right. The air you’re saving must be the hot air you’re blowing at campaign rallies.
From Riches to Rags
Despite raising a whopping $633 million between July and September 2024, outpacing Donald Trump by $488 million, the Harris campaign has somehow managed to end up $20 million in debt. It’s like watching a billionaire go broke at a casino – impressive in the worst possible way.
“Donors hate this shit when they’re going around making representations that she’s in a competitive race, and she’s spending that way to support her diva lifestyle.” – Democratic strategist –
You don’t say? I’m shocked – shocked! – to find that donors aren’t thrilled about their hard-earned money being used to fuel private jets and fund Hollywood productions. Who could have possibly seen that coming?
The Climate Anxiety Irony
In a twist of irony so delicious it should be fattening, Harris has previously spoken about “climate anxiety” affecting young people’s decisions about having children and buying homes. Well, Madam Vice President, your campaign spending is giving fiscal conservatives everywhere anxiety about the future of our nation’s finances.
“I’ve heard young leaders talk with me about a term they’ve coined called ‘climate anxiety,’ which is fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children, whether it makes sense for you to think about aspiring to buy a home.” – Kamala Harris –
Here’s a novel idea: Maybe if our leaders stopped jetting around on private planes while preaching about climate doom, young people might feel a bit more optimistic about the future. Just a thought.
The Bottom Line
As the dust settles on this financial fiasco, one thing is clear: Kamala Harris’ campaign has mastered the art of spending money like it’s going out of style. From private jets to Hollywood productions, it seems no expense was too lavish in the pursuit of… well, we’re not quite sure what. But hey, at least she’s consistent – consistently hypocritical, that is.
In the end, this campaign serves as a stark reminder of why we need leaders who practice what they preach. Because if you’re going to lecture us about climate change and fiscal responsibility, maybe – just maybe – you should start by looking in the mirror. Or in this case, the private jet’s rearview mirror.
