U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) today urged travelers to boycott Provenance Hotels, the Portland-based chain founded by the Hon. Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union.
"Anyone who cares about America should not do any business or stay at any of Gordon Sondland's hotels [in Portland, Oregon]. Not until he fulfills his duty as a citizen to testify and turn over all relevant documents to the House of Representatives," Blumenauer said in a statement today. "Nobody is above the law. Mr. Sondland and the entire Trump administration need to be reminded of that."

He owns a hotel in my town too, so I went and gave him a YELP review:
Gordon Sondland the CEO of the Mirano Hotel is currently avoiding testifying and refusing to hand over Ukraine documents to the House Intell Committee investigating President Trump's involvement in illegal activities involving the 2020 election.
Do not stay in a traitor's hotel if you think that foreign interference in an election is unAmerican. This man paid 1 million dollars to Trump to buy an ambassadorship.
Boycott his hotel. Avoid the bedbugs.

Time to start reviewing all of Trump's hotels too. Anyone ready to take me up on the challenge? Go to Yelp, review a Trump property and post your review here.

(28,979 posts)1. Here's my rough draft of a review of Trump Turnberry

Oh my, that was fun.
Yet another Trump property profiting at the expense of the US military and taxpayers. Losing millions a year. The Trump Turnberry is currently under investigation for an alleged money laundering scheme by the Trump Organization. Speaking of laundry, don't let the bedbugs bite.
Do you think they'll sue my Yelp persona?
on edit: she is way too scary. Don't want to get a visit from the Gestapo. Currently looking for a new persona.

Who will explain to YELP what staying at one means? The blood of Kurds with your continental breakfast?
