The swamp's corruption just got exposed in a big way. A damning Washington Examiner investigation has blown the lid off how gambling industry lobbyists are literally buying members of Congress to push legislation that lines their pockets at the expense of American families.
Four members of Congress from Nevada - including three Democrats and one establishment Republican - have been caught red-handed taking gambling money while simultaneously pushing the industry's legislative wish list. Reps. Susie Lee (D), Steven Horsford (D), Mark Amodei (R), and Diana Titus (D) are all bankrolled by Big Gambling, and surprise, surprise - they're all pushing exactly the bills their donors want passed.
This is textbook swamp corruption, folks. These vulnerable politicians know exactly where their bread is buttered, and it's not with the American people who elected them. It's with the gambling kingpins who stuff their campaign coffers in exchange for legislative favors.
The Pay-to-Play Swamp in Action
What we're seeing here is everything wrong with Washington in a nutshell. Special interests pour money into politicians' campaigns, and those politicians magically become champions of whatever their donors want. It's legalized bribery, plain and simple.
While President Trump is working to drain the swamp and put America First, these corrupt politicians are putting their casino benefactors first. They're more concerned about keeping their gambling industry sugar daddies happy than representing the values and interests of their constituents.
This investigation should serve as a wake-up call to every American who wonders why nothing ever seems to change in Washington. It's because too many politicians - on both sides of the aisle - are more loyal to their special interest donors than to We the People.
The Trump administration's commitment to transparency and accountability can't come soon enough. Americans deserve to know when their representatives are being bought and paid for by special interests. The question is: what are patriots going to do about these swamp creatures who sell out their constituents for campaign cash?
