Who paid for these Republicans to go to Russia and who paid for those who went to Israel. Us taxpayers , that is who , and who paid for the Dem to fly to Africa in honor of Mandela, Global Citizen, that's who.

Nothing to see here

The trip was paid for by Global Citizen, a nonprofit that lobbies for anti-poverty programs around the world, the Washington Examiner reported. The group said the presence of members of Congress at the concert would “showcase America’s ongoing commitment [to] health equality and global human rights.”

"These members of Congress that were given an all-expense paid vacation to party with Oprah, Jay Z, and Beyoncé in South Africa are claiming with a straight face this was needed to help poor children around the world live better lives," Tom Anderson, president of the NLPC's Government Integrity Project, told Examiner. "This was in fact, a mockery of House ethics rules on gifts and travel, the truly poor, and all Americans that expect members of Congress to live not only by the letter of the law but by the spirit and intentions of the rules of the House of Representatives."

These drugged out Dems do not have no sense at all. You cannot explain to them that they has done something wrong. Because they will not understand why. They all thinks that the tax payers money is their money.

Nice whataboutism. Your disingenuous attempt to derail the thread issue is noted.

It's entirely proper and customary for our government to send politicians to places of international concern, like Russia and Israel, in order to gain greater insights and develop links with other policy makers so that our relations with those key nations might better serve our own national interests. I don't understand what we are supposed to object to here.

Democrats going on paid chaperoned trip by a leftist NGO (check who funds Global Citizen) that wants to end the concept of nation-hood in favor of a one world government, not so much.

So are you just naive and gullible? Or motivated by more malicious motives?

 

[Rustic]

I question anybody’s mentality who would want to see that concert anyway....

AIPAC and NRA are tax exempt as well. I am not naïve, there was no reason for the Gop to go to Israel or Russia.

So now you are dragging the NRA in on this? That seems desperate.

Tell me exactly how you know that these five members of Congress just decided to go to the geopolitically sensitive nations of Israel and Russia for no reason whatsoever. I'd love to gain that insight into your hard working brain.

And while you are at it tell me why the five democrat members of Congress decided a visit to South Africa was necessary and a productive use of their time (which is also paid for by the American public). Or was it just to see a pop diva's show?

Okay it is bribe money. They don't have to worry about any shut down like the common folks do. As long as they do what george Soros tells them to do, that they will be find.
