McHenry Staffer lies via technicality
As you likely remember, earlier on this website we covered the fact that Patrick McHenry recently accepted a $4,700 pay raise for himself. Of course, this news leaked out, and a Republican challenger of McHenry, Scott Keadle, mentioned it.
McHenry’s response, via his staffer Josh Kahn?
“He [McHenry] has never voted for a pay raise”.
Well, of course not, McHenry. You don’t have to vote to get a pay raise, you only vote if you BLOCK it. It would be essentially impossible FOR him to vote for a pay raise, only to reject it. But he still accepted, without complaint, without a block, and without a peep. That’s just as bad.
