SWEENEY BLASTS SHERRILL’S VOTE TO ALLOW TRUMP TO PROFIT AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE
“How can New Jersey expect her to stand up to Donald Trump when she voted to let him steal taxpayer dollars?”
Woodbury, NJ - Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill was already facing scrutiny for sending out a fundraising email that talked about fighting back against Nazi-saluting billionaire Elon Musk, even though she repeatedly refused to return $31,500 from one of his PACs – and only returned it after Steve Sweeney called her out.
Congresswoman Sherrill was one of just eight House Democrats to vote to allow Defense Department funds – money from taxpayers – to be spent on Trump-owned properties, enabling his long history of grifting and self-enrichment.
Steve Sweeney issued the following statement:
“First, we found out Congresswoman Sherrill was taking Elon Musk’s money and refused to give it up until she was called out. Now, we find out she voted to let Trump personally profit from taxpayers. Maybe in DC it’s okay for politicians to get rich off government, but New Jerseyans have no patience for it.
“The pattern of hypocrisy from Congresswoman Sherrill is becoming harder and harder to ignore. New Jerseyans deserve answers, not excuses, and it starts with this question: How can New Jersey expect her to stand up to Donald Trump when she voted to let him steal taxpayer dollars?”
