Duncan Hunter shifts blame to his wife: ‘Whatever she did, that will be looked at’

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., shifted blame to his wife as he attempted to prove his innocence in the face of several corruption charges, hours after he and his wife both pleaded not guilty to misusing campaign funds.

“I’m saying, when I went to Iraq in 2003, the first time I gave her power of attorney and she handled my finances throughout my entire military career, and that continued on when I got into Congress, because I’m gone five days a week and I’m home for two,” Hunter said Thursday evening in an interview with Fox News’ Martha McCallum.

“She was also the campaign manager,” Hunter added. “So whatever she did, that will be looked at too, I’m sure. But I didn’t do it. I didn’t spend any money illegally, I did not use campaign money.”

I'm thinking these two deserve each other....

"In another instance, the indictment says, “Margaret Hunter spent $259.31 in campaign funds to take her family to the San Diego Natural History Museum and the Prado restaurant in Balboa Park. To conceal and disguise the illegal charges, she falsely told the treasurer that they were for gift basket items and a meal with supporters.

"On one such occasion in November 2015, when Hunter sought to tour a military base in Italy to justify using campaign funds for the family trip, Navy brass was unable to immediately accommodate the request, prosecutors said.

“After Navy officials responded that they could only provide a tour on a particular date, Duncan Hunter said he would discuss the proposed date with Margaret Hunter, then subsequently told his chief of staff ‘tell the Navy to go f*** themselves’,” the indictment states."

Unsurprising.  This fellow always came across as a jerk.  His wife was attracted to his personality, so it may be a team effort.  Republicans will be fortunate to have any seats in CA after the election.

I have a feeling this is not the full context of the statement.

Okay.  The guy's a Marine.  He told someone to 'tell the Navy to go f*** themselves’.  That's what Marines do.  I saw it on a geico commercial, so it must be true.

You mean the first guy who supported Trump would throw his closest under the bus?  He's learning from his Jedi Master well.

You know, it IS conceivable that he is innocent and she’s guilty as hell.  In which case what should he do?  Fall on his sword for her no matter what?

Poor Duncan, if only he were a Democrat. Not only would this be swept under the rug, he'd be given a purple heart.
The Republic is lost.
