Five members of the congressional black caucus went on a three day junket in December to South Africa. They attended “Global Citizen Mandela 100” event, December 1- 3, that featured various performers like Beyoncé, Jay Z and Pharrell Williams.
Al Sharpton went along and took some group photos. More
Their travels cost taxpayers $60,000.
I presume the slaves (taxpayers) paid for this? Also, what about their carbon footprint?
And what exactly did they accomplish that is of use to the USA?
*crickets*
When is Congress going to start limiting these sorts of Junkets for it’s members. It was first class travel, first class accommodations and food and first class entertainment. I bet money after a day they wouldn’t be able to remember the reason they were there. By the way, where are the white delegates?
Only worthwhile if they hooked up with a local realtor over there. 😉
Hank Johnson has the angry look of a man who doesn’t know where he is, what he’s doing or who the people are he’s with, but doesn’t want to admit it or ask anyone to help him.
I imagine the collective IQ in that pic is 500.
Wait, is that Hank ‘Tip Guam” Johnson?
OK, 400, maybe.
Those Africans do like them some reparations! They went to South Africa and didn’t stay (That shots a big hole in their America is raciiiiiissssst rants)!
Concert tickets were cheap since the venue was seized farmland formerly occupied for 138 years by white farm owners. Since nothing seems to grow on the property with the new owners, a concert seemed like the best use for it at the time.
Due to predicted rising food shortages in the near future, the land will be repurposed as a cemetery/mass burial facility.
Mandela and his legacy will kill more blacks in South Africa than the whites ever did.
Sharpton has morphed into an anorexic black female. Look at her stance, like posing at the end of the catwalk.
One thing I can say with absolute certainty: There isn’t a Goddamn one of them who would not love to emulate everything that has gone down in South Africa.
Damn! I saw Pink Floyd for 25 bucks and only had to travel 50 miles.
When you have nothing going for you, get into politics.
When you are a crook and dont have the balls to join organized crime, you join this group.
These people are very easy to bribe, aret they?
As for thst idiot beyonce: she is bought and paid for by the democtat media.
A GimmeDat Family pic. Wonderful memories.
I don’t “get” it. Seriously.
What is the possible justification for writing this off at taxpayer expense? What is the line item justification on the expense? How would it be listed? …..Lady in Red
Is that Beyonce in the leopard skin outfit? Damn, she sure has let herself go! And why isn’t PETA protesting that dress?
Hell of a long trip just to get drunk and laid.
Because nothing says serving your country like a free concert on the dark Continent.
How would it be listed? …..Lady in Red
Affirmative Action,,
Diversity,
Equal Opportunity,
or my personal favorite,
MSM informed and believed unedumacated mental Illness
Just $60,000? We got off cheap if that’s all it cost. I bet once all the expense accounts are all tallied up it’s twice that.
Just $60,000? Does not even come close to covering Al’s repaying of his fraudulently submitted ‘Filet Mignon’ Presidential run from 2004.
60 K each I bet.
If I were President Trump I would put a stop to all this crap.
Bill them for it.
Apparently the Acoustics for
“Get up in My Crack” are better in SA…
OOPS!
@openthedoor.
You’re a generous soul. Hank Johnson’s IQ is 20 max. He doesn’t function above the hypothalamus.
I’ll bet it cost over $60,000 just to clean the Afro-Sheen from the airline seats.
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves parading through the halls of Congress spending our money like water.
She STOPPED performing stateside, or… ??? 😳
