GOP senators torn over luxury fundraising weekend during shutdown

[Emile]

The Senate will not be holding votes this weekend on reopening the government as was initially expected, as some Republican senators will be attending a high-dollar fundraising retreat for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) on Georgia’s Sea Island.

The timing of the fundraising committee’s fall meeting is awkward for senators; Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has urged his GOP colleagues not to hold fundraisers during the shutdown because it could open them up to political attacks.

The Senate Republicans’ weekend at the luxurious Sea Island Resort is a big draw for Republican donors and lobbyists, giving them face time with important GOP policymakers.

An invitation to the NRSC’s fall meeting lists “group rates” for rooms at the resort ranging from $495 per night for a Garden Wing Room to $599 per night for the Beach Club One Bedroom Suite.

I wonder how many of these billionaire donors are on the Epstein list. . .

Sold out their country lock stock and barrel.
And the criminal congress keeps talking more and more bribes.
