Rep. Hunter mixed personal and campaign expenses, trips

Among tens of thousands of dollars that Rep. Duncan Hunter paid back to his campaign treasury in November were two unexplained charges to Feis Productions, totaling $230.

The charges had originally been reported as event entertainment. It turns out Feis Productions services registrations for Irish dance festivals where Hunter’s daughters compete.

“Any charges processed by Feis Productions would not and could not be be for anything related to a political campaign,” said Jim Gilmartin of Feis.

Hunter, R-Alpine, also spent campaign funds at hotels during dance competitions — one in Los Angeles, one in Orange County and one at the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa in Phoenix.

Another asshole Republican living large off campaign donations. Small wonder they wanted to torpedo the Office of Congressional Ethics.

Duncan (L.) Hunter spent 7 million dollars in campaign donations on a fake presidential run (as he was retiring from politics) to reinforce their name recognition, to make sure that his son Duncan (D.) Hunter, took over his 28 year old family seat in Congress.
