Stay classy, Sean Duffy!

During a town hall meeting last week, Republican Rep. Sean Duffy refused to take a position on whether transvaginal ultrasounds should be mandatory for women seeking abortions because (in his words) “I haven’t had one.”

Funny….because not having one never stopped Sean Duffy from trying to tell women what they can and can’t do when [...]

“Struggling” Sean Duffy spends over $25,000 in taxpayer funds for his personal vehicle

Is anyone really surprised that some of those “fiscally responsible” Tea Party Republicans elected in 2010 aren’t really so “fiscally responsible” now that they’ve been elected? Though they campaigned on a platform of reducing the deficit and ridding wasteful spending, more than a half-dozen Tea Party congressmen have collectively spent over $100,000 in taxpayer money [...]
