Josh Hawley, who has been in the spotlight in recent days for stirring up Trump supporters who breached the Capitol, is attracting scrutiny for using campaign funds to pay for food for his family during a lobbyist retreat outing at Universal Studios Orlando. The New York Post was the first to uncover the Federal Election Commission records showing Hawley using $197 in campaign funds to buy food at Universal Studios vendors like Lard Lad Donuts and Margaritaville. Politicians are expressly prohibited from using campaign funds to pay for personal expenditures. Hawley and his family visited Universal Studios as part of a family-friend lobbyist retreat to Orlando in February 2020 When reached for comment by Insider, Hawley's office said the senator later reimbursed the spending, albeit more than 10 months later, on January 30. His office said that the event, for the respective Leadership PACs of Sen. Roy Blunt and Hawley, is "designed specifically for families to attend." "Guests are encouraged to bring their children and Sen. Blunt has been hosting it for a number of years," the statement said. Ann Ravel, former chairwoman of the FEC under President Obama between 2013 and 2017, told The Post that Hawley's spending at Universal Studios "appears to not be a legal use of campaign funds." Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, agreed with Ravel, telling The Post that "it does warrant some scrutiny." Campaign finance violations can ruin a politician's career. In January 2020, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) resigned from the House of Representatives after pleading guilty to corruption in connection to an investigation into his campaign finances. He was pardoned in December by President Trump. https://youtu.be/BJF-wVW1F2o Party of law. Party of order. But can't even follow either --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.
