We can all do our part. Stay at home. Don\u2019t go out if you don\u2019t need to, minimize your contact with other people. If a member of your family is sick, the whole family\u2019s got to stay home so we don\u2019t go spread it. That\u2019s why having some groceries in the house to last a week or two is important. You know people could be checking in on their neighbors, people who are vulnerable or shut in, you can do that by phone or email remotely is the best way to do it. But you know, we all got to look out for one another and we have a role to play because if each of us does the right things in terms of hand washing and social distancing, we will stop this virus in its tracks, and that will add an enormous benefit for all of us.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all in this together and we\u2019re learning as we go,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou know, we\u2019re, you know, my family is home. My family includes kids and college kids out of college and one in college. Everybody\u2019s had their life upended. We are cooking and sharing time as a family. We try to get out of the house and exercise to keep our sanity. We\u2019re getting a lot of projects done around the house, I can tell you that. And from what I can tell my neighbors and constituents are pretty much doing the same thing. We\u2019re the lucky ones, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/dccc-chair-spent-big-on-travel-as-he-urged-constituents-to-stay-home-and-stop-spreading-the-virus\/\">The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> noted, \u201cOver the next nine months, however, he spent nearly $29,000 on \u2018ground transportation\u2019 and \u2018automobile expenses,\u2019 financial disclosures show. The disbursements included nearly $20,000 in lease and insurance payments, more than $3,600 in collision repairs, nearly $2,200 in gas, more than $2,100 in rental car fees, and nearly $500 for a satellite radio subscription.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, Kendra Arnold, told the Free Beacon that Maloney \u201chas a duty to explain\u201d the various payments and that they constituted a \u201cred flag.\u201d She added, \u201cWithout having any in-person campaigning, you wouldn\u2019t expect there to be a lot of expenses. Candidates don\u2019t have to link [disbursements] to a specific corresponding event, so of course anything could be made up. We generally look for spending that isn\u2019t in the realm of a candidate in the same state or in a similar-sized district.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
