Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) has come up before, as he’s under indictment for campaign fund theft. What was he doing with them? Talking Points Memo reports:
Justice Department prosecutors alleged on Monday that Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) used campaign contributions to have multiple extramarital affairs, including a $1,000 ski vacation with a female lobbyist.
According to the court filing, Hunter started using the campaign funds to “carry out a series of intimate relationships” with five women soon after he first entered office in 2009.
The first woman (“Individual 14”) was a lobbyist. For about three years, Hunter dipped into his campaign contributions to pay for a couple’s ski getaway (which cost more than $1,000), a road trip to Virginia Beach, and hotel stays, according to prosecutors.
And all I can think? ONLY $1,000 for a ski vacation?!
What sort of cheap asshole is this guy, anyways?
But this may not be an electoral disaster for him. After all, his TrumpScore as of this writing is 96% – and 100% in the current Congress. Just so long as he’s firmly humping President Trump’s leg, he’ll beat any primary challengers and probably any Democratic nominees as well.
Even if it’s with a monitor on his ankle.
Because, well, the Republican base has little enough self-respect nowadays.
