It’s estimated that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is worth over $25 million, he couldn’t pay for it himself?
White House dubs Dem a scam victim after he fumes Rubio wouldn’t fund climate trip
Damn, trotting out a really old meme for this
The White House dubbed Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse a scam victim after he publicly complained the Trump administration would not fund or support his junket to the COP30 climate change conference in Belém, Brazil this week.
The Trump administration largely ignored the confab of global climate change leaders; a stark contrast to former President Joe Biden sending Clinton confidant John Podesta to lead a substantial U.S. delegation to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2024.
“Sadly, Senator Whitehouse has fallen victim to the biggest scam of the century: the Green New Scam,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said of Whitehouse, D-R.I.
“The senator can foolishly spend time and money attending this radical ‘climate’ conference, but the Trump administration refuses to waste taxpayer dollars.”
Who has some cheese?
Whitehouse held up his COP30 badge and lamented that it did not label him a representative of the “United States of America” but instead “Global Legislators Organization for a Balanced Environment: GLOBE.”
“For the first time in history that I’m aware of, the State Department refused to support or facilitate my travel or my credentialing. My credentials don’t say United States of America,” he said, adding that it is typically State Department or executive branch protocol to support “CODELs” or congressional delegations.
Too bad, so sad.
“…funneled $2.7 millions to his wife’s environmental consulting firm.”
Gotta pay those yacht club dues somehow!
By not giving the Distinguished Gentleman from Rhode Island any official credentials, it insures that he cannot somehow make promises for the United States.
