Georgia Democrat Michelle Nunn recently promised that if she is elected to the U.S. Senate, she would introduce a bill to ban members of Congress from becoming lobbyists. While she’s decrying lobbyists and special interests, Nunn left out the whole part about taking money from the very same people she says she wants to ban.
In addition to take thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from lobbyists, here are four former members of Congress-turned-lobbyists (Vic Fazio, Buddy Darden, Michael Allen Andrews, James Symington) that are padding Nunn’s campaign coffers with money earned from the special interests she claims to abhor. Either Nunn thinks Georgians are oblivious to the facts, or she’s already become a D.C. insider because she has the duplicity and hypocrisy part down just fine.
