According to the magic Google machine.

I would bet you that she did take PPP funds.

I had the same thoughts about her returning her government salary.

Idiot.

Got to love it when Congressional republicans complain about how bad the government is, especially the long-timers aiming to die in office.

How they must hate their government benefits and perks.

Snort.

and benefits and handout. I earn my salary and benefits by providing a service to the government, and while I don't like her service, I am not her constituent. They may or may not be satisfied with her service but it is they who get to make that decision. In the meantime, her salary is earned by her, not a handout.

...I'm not sure the salary & benefits are earned.
For nearly everybody else in government work, you're spot on.

simply pointing out, as I do to these cretins regularly, that they are receiving their salaries, expenses, etc., from the very institutions that they are so busy trying to denigrate and destroy.
