Wisconsin-native Congressman Troy Nehls has stuck his foot in his mouth yet again.
It was announced yesterday that the Progressive Democrat from Saint Louis, Cori Bush, was under the Department of Justices investigation for alleged misuse of funds. Specifically, the allegations surround her campaigns spending on security services.
Bush says she retained her now-husband as part of her security team and claims he can provide services at or below market rate. Congressional ethics rules for members of the House of Representatives permit family members to be paid from campaign funds for bona fide services so long as payments do not exceed fair market value. Bush says she is fully cooperating.
With this news breaking, it allowed loudmouth Congressman Nehls to bark racist stereotypes and tropes about Cori Bush to CNN. Check it out:
