Rep. Radel raked in $1k per plate after coke bust from unwitting Naples donors
* Let's not forget about Rep. Cokehead so quickly, keep him in the news!
Naples, Fla. — Days after his bust for buying cocaine from an undercover cop, U.S. Rep. Trey Radel was back in his district collecting $1,000 per plate from unwitting donors at a swank Naples country club fundraiser dubbed “Gourmet with Trey.” (How about some sugar on that Trey?)
Some Naples Republicans are galled that Radel, 37, would continue his campaign fundraising after he’d been caught in the D.C. buy-and-bust coke sting in which he was confronted by federal agents on Oct. 29.
The Radel fundraiser invitation, obtained by Naples City Desk, invites donors to pay $1,000 per plate to the Nov. 5 “Gourmet with Trey” dinner in the Garden Room of the exclusive Grey Oaks Country Club in Naples. A cocktail reception was held in the Everglades Room before the 6 p.m. dinner which featured “specialty wines to match courses.” (What was being served up in the bathroom Trey?)
Radel, a freshman Republican who was elected in 2012 after a hard fought primary with more than 62 percent of the vote in this solidly GOP district covering the Naples and Fort Myers areas, declined to resign his office after his guilty plea Wednesday.
