However earlier than they disintegrated, they stiffed a complete lot of individuals—together with different Republicans. Plainly the Younger Republican varieties prefer to dine out, having fancy meals and costly drinks, and run up huge payments. However what they don’t like is paying for it.
Final 12 months, the racists held their summer time awards ceremony at a resort in Syracuse, New York. The resort didn’t make them pay prematurely, which meant that they only tried to not pay in any respect. After working up a $23,000 invoice, 31-year-old Peter Giunta—one of many racists from the group chat—supplied what the president of the Higher Syracuse Hospitality and Tourism Affiliation referred to as “every excuse in the book.”
A cartoon by Brian McFadden.
He actually tried the nice outdated “somebody forgot the checkbook” and “their bank account was compromised.”
The resort spent 4 months attempting to gather on it, with Giunta making sporadic funds to carry it right down to round $7,000 earlier than he stepped down in September, partly over the group’s failure to pay a $14,000 invoice to the Nationwide Ladies’s Republican Membership for a 2023 Christmas celebration.
Cue an unnamed Republican: “He’s acting like a goddamn Democrat, takes everybody’s money and spends it, but doesn’t pay his bills.”
Buddy, come on. This child—scratch that—this absolutely grown grownup was doing nothing however fleecing you, one other Republican! However your first thought is “this is just like a Democrat”?
The group additionally allegedly stiffed Nashville’s Redneck Riviera Bar & BBQ about $7,000. The bar is owned by transphobic and pro-Trump nation star John Wealthy. So once more, simply stealing from their very own allies.
It’s ridiculous that we’ve got to faux that conservatives are someway the extra morally grounded folks once they’re actually led by a con artist who begets smaller, weaker, even stupider con artists.
Lengthy earlier than changing into a politician, Trump was notorious for refusing to pay his payments. Throughout his 2016 marketing campaign, USA As we speak reviewed not less than 60 lawsuits and a whole bunch of liens, judgments, and different authorities filings towards Trump for failing to pay.
Bear in mind the Washington, D.C., Trump Lodge? 5 separate contractors needed to sue him to attempt to receives a commission.
And as soon as he took to the marketing campaign path, Trump discovered different folks to screw over in new and thrilling methods. His refusal to pony as much as cities for his unpaid payments after rallies was endemic. On the finish of his 2024 marketing campaign, he nonetheless owed Albuquerque practically $450,000—and that was simply certainly one of greater than a dozen cities he’s indebted to.
He wouldn’t even pay police payments. Option to again the blue, proper?
Since then, after all, Trump has turned the federal authorities into a private grift machine. These racist Younger Republicans ought to’ve simply held on a bit of longer, and so they in all probability would have gotten jobs within the administration.
They’d match proper in.
