Got patriotism?

Got patriotism?

Congressman Duncan Hunter is an ass, always has been. It doesn't surprise me in the least that he's also an embezzler. But he has been trading on "honor" and "sacrifice" his entire career, just as his father did. An they do it because they are representing San Diego which is heavily military and they respond to patriotism

Let's see just how sincere that ever was:

.@Rep_Hunter’s behavior is UNETHICAL. ILLEGAL. EMBARRASSING.

That’s why @GOP @SpeakerRyan removed Hunter from committee assignments. It’s over.

I’m running an honest, fair & transparent campaign. Voters deserve a lawmaker, not a lawbreaker.

This isn't the Trump evangelical base. It's the military. I'll be curious to see just how their patriotism manifest itself in this instance.
