Democratic Rep. Cori Bush (MO) has been served an ethics complaint for allegedly using government resources during her campaign funding.
Watchdog group “The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust” sent a complaint against Bush to the House Office of Congressional Ethics after she posted a video of a House proceeding in a tweet with a fundraising link.
“Rep. Bush disrupted official House proceedings with outrageous and unprofessional behavior and then campaigned and fundraised off of it. Moreover, to do so she used official House government resources, namely video footage of official House floor proceedings,” the complaint said.
From The Washington Examiner:
FACT says the violation stems from House members not being allowed to use House proceedings for campaign or political purposes. "The legal violation in this case is obvious and there are no facts that can excuse it—Bush used official House proceedings and resources for political purposes. Video of official house floor proceedings is an official resource, and both using it for political purposes and posting it on a campaign social media account are violations of the ethics rules," the complaint said
