She had no business leaving the country for a week....and using our servicemen for her excuse is despicable.
The USAF records reveal a number of trips made by Pelosi in 2010 obtained by J/W in July 2011, detailing:
<><> expense summaries,
<><>flight manifests,
<><> copies of receipts, and
<><> Congressional correspondence.
Documents obtained by J/W in January 2019, show that a 2015 trip taken by Pelosi cost taxpayers a whopping $184,587.81. The documents obtained in 2011 include:
<><> A May 6-10, 2010, Congressional Delegation to Afghanistan and Germany “to discuss issues of mutual interest in Qatar and Afghanistan, <> conduct oversight on women’s issues (troops) in Afghanistan
<><> to visit with US troops
<><> meet with government officials in Germany.”
The total cost of military travel was $204,135.00.
The records indicate then-Speaker Pelosi made a personal request that the “maximum per diem allowance be made available at the enhanced rate of an additional $50.”

He cancelled her trip via military aircraft. She later claimed that Trump had endangered her by publishing her plans. She could have changed to civilian air transport but she did not like the idea of dealing with little people. As she did not go, no danger is involved. A convenient lie to make Trump look bad.

“Pelosi’s never taken a trip to visit the troops in her entire career.”
Not one person in the media asks her why?
“Pelosi’s never taken a trip to visit the troops in her entire career. Did you know that? She has never once done it. Why now?”
While this trip was surely a photo-op junket and likely the week long trip would have involved only a few hours on the ground in Afghanistan, Rush should be more careful when making statements such as this without fact checking. Pelosi made a trip to Afghanistan in 2011, stories indicate she was more interested in visiting locals there but she did meet with military personnel:
This was a trip in March 2011, a Washington Post article on the same trip mentions it was her first visit there since the prior May. Behind paywall so didn’t check it.
Bottom line - criticize the current situation and only assert as facts that which has been verified.
