Last week’s indictment, detailing extensively the many personal purchases Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and his wife Margaret made with campaign donations, reveals the extent of the congressman’s partying that earned him a place in the “bros caucus.”

According to a Sunday New York Times report, the Hunters also used the cash for more mundane costs, like trips to Walmart and paying their bills.

But back in Washington, Hunter spent his donors’ money on multiple daily trips to his favorite watering holes where he racked up huge tabs, dropping $400 on 30 tequila shots at a bachelor party and swanky dinners. He also reportedly took it upon himself to uphold the musical standards during these escapades, tussling with patrons who dared to request Celine Dion.

Per the New York Times, his behavior was so egregious that then-Republican leader John Boehner had to take Hunter and his pals—known as the “bros caucus” by aides—to task for their partying and drinking.

1. Ha! When you are drinking more than John Boehner that's some serious imbibing.

3. IKR?

11. My thought exactly!

If bonerboy has to take you to task about drinking?!?!....man, you are in some serious trouble with the bottle!

2. Well, if he is convicted of the charges in the indictment,

perhaps he can start a new "bros caucus" in whatever federal prison he gets sent to.

5. ...bunked up with Pharma Bro maybe?

6. As long as he's no longer in the House, I don't care.

Duncan Hunter has been a stain on the House of Representatives for far too long. Time's up for him, I hope. A resignation would be good about now.

4. "Bros caucus"

LOL!

7. Guess that was his wife's fault, too

[Sneederbunk]

8. The bro is going to see some different bars.

[Solly Mack]

9. I hope they both go to prison.

Yes, I know he blamed her for everything. That doesn't make her any less guilty.

10. If she approved his invoices, she's just as liable

She was along for the ride on many of the claimed costs, so she had to know how far out of bounds they were.

12. "Bros Caucus?" Back in the day, GOPers used to just call them what they were, Circle Jerk Parties!

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. Hmmmm. Ya know, I am now thinking.....cocaine.

It would explain a lot about him thinking what he did was gonna be just fine.
