That's correct, for security reasons. And the White House agreed.
She demanded the 757.
No she didn't. She asked for a plane that could make it to SFO non-stop.
Onc she even sent it to transport her kids,,, no offcial purpose whatsoever there.
Her family accompanied her on several flights. It's in the Air Force logs:

This is accepted practice, per DoD regulations.
And yes, we all know it had an air force tail number,,, but we all also know the queen had all her demands met by the USAF.
And how do we all know this?
If the 757 was in for maintenence etc, but they didn’t dare defy her.
Pelosi flew in a 757 exactly once. It was the Air Force's choice, not hers -- because nothing else was available.
And bear in mind, HER party, under HER leadership was the source of the anti-bizzjet jihad. Her party brutalized anyone but them who flew private jets.
I agree with this. But, it's the only thing you've written that is true. How about you stick to the facts, rather than making up things that can be proven false and discredit the truth?
It’s highly disingenuous to say she did the same thing the Repub speaker did.
No, it's not. According to the government's own accounts, Hastert actually flew home more often than Pelosi did. He just happened to live in a district that was within range of a smaller jet.
Since when was it such a security risk for Pelosi to refuel?
Let’s be real, this is a great excuse, but that’s all it really is.
Also, instead of using the AF, she could have handled traveling public for just one time.
She will now have to travel with the public and even the constituents she works for.
