Trump to host fundraiser for New Jersey ally in health care (at the "Summer White House")

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TRUMP_CONGRESSMAN_FUNDRAISER?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

President Donald Trump will be hosting a fundraiser at his New Jersey golf club for the Republican lawmaker who helped revive the GOP health care overhaul.

The invitation, obtained by The Associated Press on Sunday, says the Republican president and Rep. Tom MacArthur of southern New Jersey's 3rd District will host the June 11 event at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.

The invitation suggests donations from $5,400 to $100,000.

MacArthur, who is up for re-election next year, played a central role in reviving the GOP health care legislation after an initial version collapsed under opposition from Republican moderates and conservatives.

His former colleagues in the Tuesday Caucus probably wouldn't miss him either.

and if I were citizen from that district, I would take this fundraiser as a slap in the face.

Cutting health care....but then raising millions for campaign funds?
