Indiana Republican Steve LaTourette Openly Supports Bribing Congressmen – Club for Growth
RINO Rep. Steve LaTourette (OH-14) openly supports bribing congressmen with earmarks. He’s not even subtle about it. From the Chicago Tribune:
Republican Representative Steven LaTourette, an 18-year House veteran, said the earmark ban “has affected discipline” within the party. “You can’t get 218 votes (out of 242 Republican House members) and part of that has to be if you can’t give people anything (earmarks), you can’t take anything away from them.”
If a member of Congress agrees with 90 percent of a pending bill but is “uncomfortable” with the other 10 percent, “Sometimes taking care of your district (with earmarks) made up for that 10 percent,” he said.
How is this not criminal?
