Duncan Hunter - "fuck the Navy"

Rick Tyler says while Hunter was in Italy, he wanted to take a tour of a navy base and the Navy said they couldn't

do it at the time. That's when Hunter said fuck the Navy according to Tyler. And Hunter's district includes San Diego.

ETA he said this on MSNBC

Hunter was also an early congressional supporter of Trump. He and Chris Collins, both corrupt blood suckers of the U.S. Taxpayer.

hopefully many more indictments will come along, any one who associates with tRump, gets taken down rather quickly.

Congress GOP critters are not immune.

A federal indictment alleges that House Armed Services member Duncan Hunter was not happy when he didn’t get a tour of a military base in Italy and had this to say: “Tell the Navy to go f--- themselves.”

Prosecutors also accused the California Republican of falsely claiming that personal expenditures were for “wounded warriors.”

Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted Tuesday for allegedly using $250,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses, including dental work and trips to Italy and Hawaii.

couldn't accomodate him with his pick of date for the 'tour' is because he was desperately trying to gin up some justification for paying for his (and wifey's) trip to Italy, claiming it was on 'official business' because he was 'inspecting a Navy base there'. Asshole.

but I had always thought that the Duncan Hunter being referred to was an older man. Then I realized that his father was also Duncan Hunter and had preceded his son. I'm in California, but not in his district, so don't know him well. Was the father as big of a douchebag as the son? Why is he not still in office?
