Corruption is everywhere: Why I never stayed in Washington D.C.

Jul 26, 2016, 5:16 PM

I’m sorry I ever went and played the game in Washington D.C.

Within the first week I was in the nation’s capitol, I was offered a bribe that was worth millions of dollars.  All I needed to do was let someone keep an existing contract.

But that’s why I let everyone in Washington D.C. know that I was only going to be there for two years. I was not going to be a part of the corruption there. And that’s just corruption within the Republican National Committee!

What you’re seeing with the leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee, courtesy of Vladimir Putin, is the stink in writing. It’s the reason Democrats have said something doesn’t feel right about Hillary. 

Everyone is being bribed, with our own money. The fix is in. Why do you think Hillary hired Debbie Wasserman Schultz?  So she doesn’t tell tales.

If in fact the Russians hacked the DNC, it means you are sitting in a country where our election is being monkey with by Vlad Putin. What do we do? We need to do a lot of soul searching. 

And in the meantime, I’m going to continue to tell the truth about what I see.
