Why do so many well-known people who are against Trump love to live it up?
Take Tish James, the attorney general of New York, who is currently making news for her high-profile case against former president Donald Trump for business fraud. This case has caused a lot of controversy and left-wing applause.
She’s also raised a lot of money for her causes, and an enterprising Twitter user has found that she’s spending it in a number of interesting ways.
In 2023, she spent more than $28,500 on hotels, some of which were high-end resorts in Puerto Rico.
That’s part of the almost $120,000 that has been spent on hotels since 2018.
During that time, she spent more than $100,000 on meals and catering at places like Dave and Buster’s and fancy steakhouses.
Don’t forget the tens of thousands of dollars she spent at Target, BJ’s Wholesale, and a bar in New York City, all of which were listed as “office” expenses on her tax return.
We’re not saying that James has done anything wrong.
She has worked for the government for a long time, and she is a smart criminal lawyer. She knows the line and how not to cross it.
No, she is definitely following the law when she uses campaign money to improve her lifestyle.
That’s a very shady habit that American politicians have had for a long time.
No one would care about James’ spending at all if she hadn’t made herself out to be a very moral leader in American politics.
But the way she acts now is the most important part of her political brand.
And the fact that she spent more than $4,000 in campaign money at a place on Martha’s Vineyard called “Nathan’s Luxlifestyle” makes it look very sketchy.
Juvenal, a Roman humorist, asked the question, “Who watches the watchers?” almost 2,000 years ago.
James and Atlanta’s Fani Willis, two big-spending stars who talk a lot of trash, show that the question is still important.
