Wisconsin&#8217;s \u200bSen. Tammy Baldwin, who had urged\u2062 her constituents to stay home and avoid gatherings during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2020, was found to have taken a personal trip to New York City using taxpayer money.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2020, when\u2064 the \u2063COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak, leftist politicians like Baldwin were adamant about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/all-glory-to-god-canadian-pastor-jailed-for-opening-his-church-during-lockdowns-acquitted-by-top-court\/\" title=\"\u2018All Glory To God\u2019: Canadian Pastor Jailed For Opening His Church During Lockdowns Acquitted By Top Court\">enforcing strict restrictions<\/a> on the\u2064 public. They told us not\u2062 to see our families for Thanksgiving and Christmas, \u200bwhile they themselves disregarded their own rules and partied with their buddies.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin had posted a\u2064 video on Twitter, urging the people of\u200c Wisconsin to stay home and\u200c avoid gatherings. She emphasized\u2064 the\u2063 importance of keeping our families, friends, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-senator-refunds-government-after-shes-caught-taking-personal-trip-on-taxpayers-dime\/\" title=\"Dem Senator Repays Government for Personal Trip on Taxpayers' Expense\">frontline healthcare workers safe<\/a>. \u200dYet, on the same day, she flew from Madison to New York City for a personal vacation\u2062 to visit her partner.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season, we all have a\u2063 role\u200c to play in helping our families, friends, neighbors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-claims-trump-admin-had-no-vaccine-distribution-plan\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris claims Trump admin. had no vaccine distribution plan\">frontline health care workers<\/a>, and \u200bothers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/comrade-de-blasio-were-going-to-have-sheriffs-deputies-go-to-the-home-or-hotel-of-every-single-traveler-coming-in-from-the-uk-video\/\" title=\"Comrade De Blasio: \u201cWe\u2019re going to Have Sheriff\u2019s Deputies go to the Home or Hotel of Every Single Traveler Coming in From the UK\u201d (VIDEO)\">stay safe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s \u2062take this on\u200b together, so we can move forward together. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ysHvbmeSce\">pic.twitter.com\/ysHvbmeSce<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u200d Sen.

However, Republican officials were quick to call out \u2062her blatant hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tammy Baldwin should change her campaign slogan to &#8216;Do as I say, not as I do,'&#8221; said Tate Mitchell, spokesman \u200dfor the National Republican Senatorial Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did Baldwin break her own \u200crules, but she also\u200b misused taxpayer money to fund her personal\u2062 trip. \u2064Although\u2063 she eventually reimbursed\u2062 the government,\u200c it was only after the media exposed her actions, and nearly\u200d three years\u2064 later.\u2063 This misuse of funds is unacceptable,\u2064 and she \u2064must be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, we witness the\u200c left&#8217;s mantra of &#8220;Do as I say, not as I do&#8221; on full display. The hypocrisy displayed \u2063by Baldwin and other Democratic politicians during the COVID era is truly disheartening.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-senator-refunds-government-caught-taking-personal-trip-taxpayers-dime\/\">Dem Senator Refunds\u2062 Government After She&#8217;s Caught Taking Personal Trip on Taxpayers&#8217;\u200b Dime<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democratic senator faces consequences for a past lie.
