This was fact-checked to be false: source 1 in English, source 2 in Spanish.

  1. she wasn’t onboard the government jet (also, wasn’t even a private jet)
  2. she was there a day before to attend a different event
  3. she traveled there by a hybrid
  4. the rest of her team travelled by bullet train
  5. she wasn’t allowed on the bullet train for security reasons (though I can’t quite see how a car is safer, lol)
  6. she has been photographed biking around the city in the day before the climate conferene
  7. the person who made the original tweet this article is based on deleted it and acknowledged having made this up

She didn’t took a jet. She travelled by car between cities and then commuted on a bike. The original tweet by “Dr. Eli Davis” has been deleted. You’re spreading misinformation.

And as an American knowing absolutely nothing about this country’s politics, I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark that this prime minister is the closest equivalent we have to a democrat.

Only because for some reason nobody cares when the far right does truly despicable shit, but one socialist takes a jet and they are Satan incarnate.

Ignore that dude. Here’s a comment of his from an hour ago:

That’s a fallacious argument. US led empire has dominated the world up to now because US wasn’t directly involved in WW2. While the rest of the world burned, US profiteered from the war and the reconstruction after. That’s why the world looks the way it does today.

He has no idea what’s going on.

Is the only source for the jet part the tweet from the guy with “I will not submit. I will not comply.” as his bio?

Remember when Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert drove an electric car to leave a press conference about fossil fuels? Then was photographed a half block away ditching it for a full size SUV? Then was arrested for financial crimes involving unreported payments to a young man who Hastert? Then it was revealed that Hastert was paying the young man hush money? Then Hastert pled guilty to felonies because the hush money was to cover up Hastert’s molestation of multiple young boys when Hastert was their wrestling coach?
