The Federalist Society, which has helped get conservative justices appointed to the Supreme Court, sent an email to members yesterday morning about an event featuring the Honorable Douglas H. Ginsburg at the Capitol Hill Club in March. Cockburn reported last month that members of Congress walked out of an event at the Capitol Hill Club after being harangued for their vaccine cards and denied religious exemptions to the DC vaccine mandate. Representative Matt Gaetz canceled his membership entirely over the club’s strict enforcement of the mandate.
A tipster alerted Cockburn to two events with Republican senators Jim Inhofe and John Cornyn at Hill Country BBQ in downtown DC on February 15 and March 8, respectively. Invitations to the receptions were sent out by Bradley Patrick Group, a Republican fundraising firm, prior to DC lifting its vaccine mandate. It seems unvaccinated donors would have been required to take their money elsewhere — or maybe they’d just be encouraged to send a check in the mail.
