No shame. No shame in the entire goddamned party.

No Democratic Congressional Nominee can ever compete in this tilted red district.

For the GOP, it's a feature, not a bug.

GOP is a pack of lowlife crooks, lacking in loyalty to the USA.

Ex-aides say congressman made them his servants
Rep. Tom Garrett and his wife made staffers pick up groceries, clothes — even dog poop, multiple former employees to the freshman Republican told POLITICO.

Virginia Rep. Tom Garrett and his wife turned the congressman’s staff into personal servants, multiple former employees to the freshman Republican told POLITICO — assigning them tasks from grocery shopping to fetching the congressman’s clothes to caring for their pet dog, all during work hours.

POLITICO has spoken with four former staffers who detailed a deeply dysfunctional office in which the congressman and his wife, Flanna, often demanded that staff run personal errands outside their typical congressional duties. The couple called on staff to pick up groceries, chauffeur Garrett’s daughters to and from his Virginia district, and fetch clothes that the congressman forgot at his Washington apartment. They were even expected to watch and clean up after Sophie, their Jack Russell-Pomeranian mix, the aides said.

The staffers said they feared that if they refused Garrett's or his wife’s orders — both were known for explosive tempers — they would struggle to advance in their careers. It wasn't just full-time staff: many of the allegedly inappropriate requests were made of interns, the former aides said.

“I didn’t know who I was working for: Was I working for him? Was I working for her?” said one of those staffers who, like others interviewed for this story, asked not to be named for fear of retribution. “We became their gofers.”

Retried in disgrace in April.

Last I heard in May:
Farenthold told ABC News that he has no intention of repaying an $84,000 sexual harassment settlement funded by taxpayers.

Somebody, somewhere, please chase that money.

They thought the public would be their servants

😡😡😡😡😡😡

...Several staffers told the committee that Garrett’s wife “would berate staff, often using profanity and other harsh language, for failing to prioritize her needs over their regular official duties.”

In one text message to the congressman’s chief of staff, Flanna Garrett wrote: “NONE of what I asked to be done with the phone was done. Not a f****** thing. I am going to sit down with some of your staff and tell them how f****** disrespectful and STUPIDLY shortsighted they are for completely disregarding every thing [sic] I asked them to do.”

Garrett “failed to place any limits” on his wife’s interactions with staff, leaving them feeling “disparaged and bullied,” the committee report states.

Two witnesses also told investigators that Garrett had inquired about buying marijuana and had used marijuana with staffers.
