It's in Republican DNA.
U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter and his wife, Margaret E. Hunter, were hit Tuesday with federal charges that they "converted and stole" more than a quarter million dollars in campaign funds, according to a 47-page grand jury indictment.
The San Diego County couple used the cash to take trips to Italy, Hawaii, London and elsewhere, and even used the funds to cover school tuition, dental work and theater tickets, the federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California said in an indictment unsealed Tuesday.
Hunter, a Republican and the son of a retired congressman who also represented a section of San Diego County, was an early and staunch supporter of President Donald Trump. [snip]
The only other elected member of Congress who endorsed Trump earlier than Hunter during the 2016 campaign was Rep. Chris Collins of New York — who now faces federal charges of his own. (our emphasis)Being amoral grifters themselves, both Hunter and Collins saw a kindred spirit in Rump.
With a long, rich history of sex scandals, the overwhelming corruption of the current regime and its minions, and its complicity in selling out our country to the interests of a hostile foreign government, the Republican Party is the living embodiment of hypocrisy and evil. November can't come too soon.
