In reply to the discussion: Darrell Issa took a $150k PPP check, then loaned exactly $150k to his campaign [View all]PatSeg

I thought we were done with him forever. Some people just won't go away.
Meanwhile, Issa was the wealthiest member of congress worth a reported $250 million. What did he need a PPP loan for? And why couldn't he afford to loan his campaign money? These greedy bastards will take advantage of anything from the government, even if they don't need it, but will be quick to cut food stamps or assistance to the poor.
On the upside, hopefully his little stunt will undo his plans to move back to DC.

The problem for some is when you're corrupt, you're just corrupt no matter the day.
