If bragging that he is David Duke without the baggage did not do it, I cannot imagine this will.
The fact that all of these politicians are awash in “contributions” that let them live lavish lifestyles is not news. By that measure, virtually all of them should be removed from office.
And by the way, they should.
This country is so fucked as long as the Republicans hold the house – or any other position of authority for that matter
For that price I’d expect a glass of coke with ice cubes, not just table water
>Scalise has spent more than $500,000 through his congressional campaign account at Capital Grille since 2011.
Is this place some kind of money laundering front? Sounds like they need to be audited.
Are the dozens of votes starting today?
He just likes to talk business over a nice steak and expensive bottle of wine. I mean, who *hasn’t* spent spent *half a million* dollars doing that since 2011?
“Steve Scalise COULD BE undone by 500,000 steak dinner bills” FTFY
It’s rare to use steak dinners as a medium for political attacks, but this is a well done piece of oppo research.
Well, there’s one restaurant which is making money. 🙂
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Did Harlan Crow and Paul Novelly start a new restaurant together?
Huh, imagine a guy that has failed to protect kids from sexual abuse and is currently in contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena, imagine **THAT GUY** saying his opponent is…*unethical?*
Something about glasshouses and rocks….or is it pot and kettles?
Well, if he lets himself get overcharged like that on steak dinners, can’t imagine he’d be any good at managing taxpayer funds responsibly.
When the steaks are high
His home district is very much in favor of his David Duke take. They applaud it, actually. Scalise could make a run for Governor or Senator one day out of Louisiana.
Remember this the next time they want to means test something for the American people or tell you that SSI isn’t solvent. “People just want free money…”
Damn, I paid $7 for a pound of farm fresh ground beef when the store brand was on sale for $3.99 and I felt guilty about it.
They won’t care about his 500k steak dinner but god forbid everyday American citizens get 20k in student loan relief
How do you spend $500k on a dinner? I can’t wrap my mind around that.
I bet they were sloppy steaks.
Oh no, he could undone!
I mean, he called himself, voluntarily, *the Grand Wizard of the KKK* and that didn’t ‘undo’ him.
500k steak dinner? Think if the suggested tip!
“I’m a man of the people. I put so much money into the working class folks’ hands!”
It’s called corruption. Corruption. Say it! CORRUPTION!!!
And not his racism? That’s seems a little fucked up.
Steak-k-k
I’m rooting for cancer in this case. Fuck this asshole.
You’d think Jordan’s camp could just go with “he’s a white supremacist” except in the GOP that is a feature not a bug.
The Jim Jordan supporters should be careful trying to make the speaker election about past scandals.
Scalise spending $40,000 donor dollars a year at a fancy restaurant isn’t good, but Jordan enabling/covering up sex abuse at Ohio State is worse.
Oh, and don’t forget about January 6th. Jordan was up to his neck in that.
That’s one big cow for a 1/2 a million in steaks!
How is everyone in the Republican party just so terrible.
Any port in a storm I guess, but it’s really sad that his self-description of “David Duke without the baggage” wasn’t already enough to sink a leadership candidacy.
When “I’m not Jym Jordan “ is your best feature.
I despise Scalise and Jordan and all these idiots, but spending $3500 a month for 12 years in DC at a steakhouse is hardly a scandal. The fact that Jordan is trying to use this; instead of the fact that, you know, Scalise is a literal white supremacist, really speaks to the depravity and disgusting behavior of the Republican Party.
Republicans are the scum of this country and the longer they’re allowed to hold and power the faster we’ll fall
plot twist. democrats support him to avoid gym jones
Why would corruption be an impediment to a Republican?
You would think the “I David Duke without the baggage” quote, and talking at White supremacy events would take him out.
If I bribe Steve Scalise to sponsor (or at least vote for) some legislation that I happen to want, why should I care what he spends his bribe on?
This won’t hurt Scalise with constituents/donors. The whole point of “campaign” contributions is to give the guy whatever he wants in exchange for the corrupt fruits.
Comparing himself to David Duke should’ve been the mail in the coffin, also Jimmy shouldn’t be put up for speaker either. Re-election can’t come fast enough for these clowns.
The Republican party has become a clown in the image of their defacto leader.They can’t govern .
Why can’t rich motherfuckers just eat and live like normal fucking people?
It takes a special person to be shot at a congressional softball game, almost lose his shitty life, then vote against commonsense gun laws.
Wow, NFL team steak dinner bills aren’t even anywhere near that high o.O
$500,000 over 12 years is $115/day every day. That’s really a crazy number for a guy who’s allegedly from Louisiana and ought to spend at least a little time with his wife. I’ve been to Louisiana, and a single crawfish boil portion would be vastly cheaper. Don’t get above your raisin’, Steve.
