Looks like another criminal conservatard dirtbag is going to bite the dust.......
House Republicans are whispering one word over and over again to describe embattled Rep. Duncan Hunter: Shameless.
The California Republican, indicted this week for using $250,000 in campaign funds to enrich himself and his family, is blaming everyone but himself for his current legal predicament: Prosecutors are “biased” against him because he was an original supporter of then-candidate Donald Trump. The media is just trying to make him look a fool.
And his wife? Well, this whole thing is really her fault.
“She handled my finances throughout my entire military career, and that continued on when I got to Congress,” Hunter told Fox News host Martha MacCallum late Thursday, referring to his spouse Margaret, who was also indicted by the FBI Wednesday: "She was also the campaign manager so whatever she did, that’ll be looked at too, I’m sure, but I didn’t do it.”
Hunter’s brazen attempt to throw his spouse under the bus in particular has more than half a dozen Hill Republican lawmakers and aides shaking their heads. All requested anonymity to speak freely about a House colleague. Asked about the matter, one of his friends in Congress simply replied, exasperated, “I can’t.”
“Ridiculous,” said one California Republican Hill aide. “If you read the indictment, clearly it was both of them… Like, how do you stay married to a guy who does that?”
