Democrat hypocrisy strikes again, this time in the form of Mississippi gubernatorial candidate Brandon Presley. The self-proclaimed champion of the people took to social media to brag about his private plane travel, only to quickly delete the post when his hypocrisy was exposed. It seems like Democrats have a knack for preaching about the environment and equality while enjoying the perks of luxury and privilege.
Presley’s disparaging remarks about politicians flying on private planes didn’t age well. In March, he criticized those who used private aircraft, claiming that he would lead by example and prioritize the people over personal luxuries. Yet here he is, jetting off to campaign rallies in a private plane, completely contradicting his previous stance.
It’s no surprise that Democrats have a habit of preaching one thing and doing another. They love to lecture Americans about their carbon footprint and the need to take public transportation, but when it comes to their own convenience, all those concerns go out the window. It’s a classic case of “do as I say, not as I do.”
The flight records obtained by the Free Beacon reveal Presley’s extravagant use of a private plane for a trip that could easily be completed by car in just a couple of hours. This blatant disregard for the environment and the people he claims to represent is disappointing but not unexpected. It seems that for Democrats, convenience and luxury trump their supposed values.
'Rules For Thee, Not For Me': The Democrat Party's Tried and True Slogan

This incident is just the latest in a long list of Democrat hypocrites who talk the talk but fail to walk the walk. Remember when Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan violated her own COVID-19 restrictions by dining with a large group of people? Or when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attended the exclusive Met Gala, while simultaneously advocating for higher taxes on the wealthy? It’s clear that Democrats only care about their progressive agenda when it benefits them personally.
The phrase “rules for thee, not for me” has become the hallmark slogan of the Democratic Party. Whether it’s flying on private planes, violating COVID-19 restrictions, or hobnobbing with the elite, Democrats are experts at living a double standard. It’s time for voters to see through their hypocrisy and demand representative who actually practice what they preach. Thankfully, there are plenty of conservative candidates who understand the value of personal responsibility and truly prioritize the needs of the people.
