This would not personally enrich them. Likely counter to their interests.

What a collection of toxic waste this list is!

Boebert, Greene, Hice, Brooks, Gosar, Gohmert, Gaetz, Roy, etc.

These are the type of people who would have tried to bill Auschwitz inmates for room and board.

No one should be surprised that Matt Gaetz voted against a human trafficking bill.

I thought one of the core premises of that QAnon crap, was that there was a "shadowy cabal of Democratic pedophiles". If they really believed that it was the DEMOCRATS who were pedophiles, you'd think they would be eager to support such a bill!
