ABC News via yahoo.com ^ | August 13, 2014 | Jordyn Phelps

Sen. Mary Landrieu, R-La., walks to the Senate floor for a vote, May 13, 2014.

Republican Louisiana Senate hopeful Rep. Bill Cassidy is calling on Sen. Mary Landrieu to apologize and return all taxpayer money she has spent on charter flights after a CNN report revealed the Democratic incumbent violated federal law by using taxpayer dollars to charter a private flight to a campaign event.

"Senator Landrieu's disregard and abuse of taxpayer money is unacceptable and, reportedly, illegal," Rep. Cassidy said in a statement. "She should return all the taxpayer money she has spent on charter flights, open up her travel logs for further review to ensure there are not more violations, and apologize to American taxpayers immediately."

Proving once again that if the story doesn’t fit the MSM agenda, just lie about a few key facts . . .

That’s okay. Half of the voters in the state probably think she’s Republican...that is, if they’ve heard of her.

Doesn’t say R anymore. In fact, her political affiliation is not identified at all on the article. Imagine that.

There is a Psycology to this.

There will be a group of people who will see the R and it will register in their tiny brain.

After ABC gets caught, they might make a statement...maybe.

But, many of those who initially hear or read it, will never see or hear the recant. In their minds, another R abused the system.

The MSM is not concerned with informed people.

They can't manipulate informed people.

This is just for the uninformed. The naïve and gullible.

Liberals

“instead of returning home to his Louisiana congressional district this past weekend, it turns out Charlie boy jetted off to posh Martha’s Vineyard for a lobbyist love fest at this expensive hotel full of fun in the sun, a little wining and dining and rewarded by Obama’s friends including big labor and trial attorneys.”
