Dems fly to Puerto Rico on chartered jet, meet with lobbyists, see 'Hamilton' as shutdown drags on
By Louis Casiano | Fox News

Bob Menendez, D-N.J., left, was spotted on the beach Saturday in Puerto Rico, where some 30 Democrats gathered amid the partial government shutdown to meet with lobbyists and see the play "Hamilton," starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, right.

Despite a partial government shutdown with no end in sight, about 30 Democratic members of Congress traveled to Puerto Rico this weekend -- with their families and lobbyists -- for a winter retreat where they also planned to see a special performance of the hit Broadway show “Hamilton.”

Those attending the Congressional Hispanic Caucus BOLD PAC gathering in San Juan also planned to meet Saturday with Puerto Rican officials to discuss ongoing cleanup efforts from Hurricane Maria, according to a report.

“This year’s winter retreat promises to be our most widely attended yet with over 220 guests, including 39 Members of Congress and CHC BOLD PAC supporters expected to attend and participate!” a planning memo said.

Or at least that was the excuse they used to justify the US Government paying all the expenses for their vacations.

Does anyone know if salaries and office expenses to congresscritters and US Senators are cut-off when the government shuts down? If not,WHY NOT? After all,they are always the ones responsible for it shutting down.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
