Video: Lawmakers Tap Expense Accounts, Use Taxpayer Money for Reelection Ads
I joined Rising to discuss our new investigation this week.
The list of hypocritical privileges lawmakers bestow upon themselves is nearly endless. Congress exempts itself from Freedom of Information Act laws, benefits from special free government health care, and crafted exclusions into the law to prevent their staff from forming unions or receiving overtime pay, among other exploits.
In our new investigation this week, I revealed a blatant effort by many incumbent lawmakers to use taxpayer money for campaign purposes. I joined The Hill’s Rising to discuss the story.
Yet they complain of “ethics” needs for SCOTUS. Hypocrites.
Thank you, Lee. Good interview on your excellent article.
The complete corruption of Congress is glaringly obvious and has been happening and increasing. It’s also obvious that the media is an accessory to this corruption. Hiding it is a form of propaganda. Which has also increased glaringly.
