FROM NY POST: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his actress wife Cheryl Hines are being applauded online after the pair was spotted flying in economy class on a commercial flight.
The couple was seen in a TikTok video being escorted separately onto a commercial flight and then sitting in economy class beside several passengers.
Several users praised Kennedy and Hines, comparing them to US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who have been using private jets to shuttle between stops on Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies.
Video from Fox News previously captured AOC and Sanders exiting a Bombardier Challenger 604, a luxury aircraft with a $5 million to $7 million price tag that costs an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter.
X users applauded the couple. One user wrote, “Meanwhile, bernie and AOC flying on private jets because ‘we must fight the billionaires,.”
“Surprised, but no criticism. Not a bad example to set, especially as others in politics will chase every opportunity for government-funded luxury,” wrote another.
“While Bernie and AOC are flying around on private jets. The difference is stunning!” wrote a third.
