Duncan Hunter blames his wife for campaign spending

What a guy.


Duncan Hunter blames his wife for campaign spending and complains it’s ‘difficult’ to live on salary in Fox News interview


Hunter did admit to saying “f*ck the Navy” after he was unable to arrange a base tour that was allegedly to be used as a cover story for his family’s vacation to Italy.

Hunter blamed his wife for anything amiss.

“When I went to Iraq in 2003, the first time, I gave her power of attorney and she handled my finances throughout my whole military career and she continued that when I got to Congress,” he said. “Whatever she did, that will be looked at too, I’m sure. But I didn’t do it. I didn’t spend any money illegally. I didn’t use campaign money, especially for Wounded Warriors, there’s no way.”

These two are so stupid, they probably came up with this as a cover story and thought it was brilliant.

Did she buy the golf shorts and tequila shots?

"Hunter did admit to saying “f*ck the Navy” after he was unable to arrange a base tour..."

That the man is a former US Marine.

I served in the US Navy. Six years sea duty in submarines which had diesel engines. More than once carried Marines on training missions out of Little Creek, VA. See my experience doing so, and the rest of that story here.

Thanks!

My son in-law is a retired Navy medic. He had to inspect Marines when they came off leave in foreign ports. Not a fun job. He has some stories also...lol.
