He received a *bipartisan* rebuke for gross impropriety, unethical behavior, and abuse of *taxpayer* money He managed to do the impossible: unite both parties to condemn his behavior! (3/9)

The House Ethics Committee found Schweikert’s violations were “serious, cumulative, and occurred on a continuous and prolonged basis.” Yeah, his rule-breaking dates back to his term in 2012. That means AT LEAST eight years of misbehavior. (4/9)

Misuse of his Member Allowance

He abused his taxpayer-funded staff for personal benefit. He used his Congressional staff to pay for first-class flight upgrades, dry cleaning, & expensive meals. And then he made them babysit his child for free. This is quite literally the *opposite* of public service. (6/9)

THEN, he lied about his misbehavior. The bipartisan Investigative Subcommittee determined that Schweikert’s “testimony lacked credibility” & punished him for his “lack of candor and due diligence.” (7/9)

Here’s the deal - @RepDavid isn’t the only corrupt politician in Washington, but he might be the worst.
His $50,000 fine - the punishment for his 11 violations - was one of the largest in Congressional history. And did I mention the unanimous rebuke on the House floor? (8/9)
