In response to those requests, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allegedly began pulling marshals from flights deemed “high-risk” so that they could protect members of Congress instead.

One of those was Waters, who flew from Washington to Minneapolis last month during the late stages of the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.


quote:

According to a House Ethics Committee complaint, Waters was accompanied on her April 17 flight to Minneapolis by two armed Capitol Police and two U.S. Secret Service agents, according to the report.

She then requested two air marshals to join her on the plane and two more to escort her through the Minneapolis airport when she arrived.


quote:

The complaint states that the air marshals were moved off a high-risk flight to accompany Waters to Minnesota. The flight they were moved from allegedly “took off with no armed law enforcement on board leaving a gap in National Security.”

“That was not an official business trip,” Air Marshal National Council executive director Sonya Hightower LoBasco told Fox News. “We still don’t have any justification as to why government resources were utilized to fly Ms. Waters out to Minnesota.”


quote:

Three days after Waters’ flight, air marshal union president David Londo complained to the Department of Homeland Security inspector general that putting marshals on flights “simply because a member of Congress requests it is an egregious misuse of government resources . . . It has become akin to a type of extremely expensive concierge service for Congressional members.”

Waters did not comment to Fox News on the complaint.

Everyone needs to remember that this same bitch threw a big fit a couple of years ago when she didn't get bumped to First Class and tossed out the "do you know who I am???" card. Congress should have censured her then. It's not a R vs D thing either. That past incident was during R control. This is a "don't frick with her because she is a black female" thing.

Because Joe Biden is president and the left will DO ANYTHING for political optics. The government is their personal piggybank.

This is why they installed the current Capitol police chief. Concierge service.

She had no business going there in the first place. Let alone using government resources to do so. Not to mention she promoted violence while there.

This is incredible. The risk she took.

She flew with 4 law enforcement officers. And she is black. How did they not shoot her?

If law enforcement is so bad, why did she want law enforcement to accompany her?

This appears to not make sense...

Ah, the left. Consistent in hypocrisy.

Eight law enforcement if I read correctly.

This is hilarious, for her own safety she requires eight people......to protest police abuse.....while she is abusing police....this country is a mess.

The time is coming when people are fed up with doing nonsense knowing no one will complain lest "the card" be pulled.

Dems are vile, evil animals with no integrity nor respect for the rule of law.

Crazy Maxine might exact revenge on this Sonya lady.

At this point this retarded bitch could streak naked in an airport yelling bomb , and nothing would happen to her . All because people are scared of her because she’s black and will yell racism at any push back against her , no matter how wrong she may be .
