House Republicans are whispering one word over and over again to describe embattled Rep. Duncan Hunter: Shameless.
The California Republican, indicted this week for using $250,000 in campaign funds to enrich himself and his family, is blaming everyone but himself for his current legal predicament: Prosecutors are “biased” against him because he was an original supporter of then-candidate Donald Trump. The media is just trying to make him look a fool.
And his wife? Well, this whole thing is really her fault.
“She handled my finances throughout my entire military career, and that continued on when I got to Congress,” Hunter told Fox News host Martha MacCallum late Thursday, referring to his spouse Margaret, who was also indicted by the FBI Wednesday: “She was also the campaign manager so whatever she did, that’ll be looked at too, I’m sure, but I didn’t do it.”
