No worries. The bill was taken care of by us taxpayers.
For 12 people for 4 nights? Gee, that's mighty generous of him. What a stand up guy.
Interior Department launches investigation after TIME inquiries
Vice President Joe Biden, his wife and 11 other family members spent four nights on vacation this August at a lakeside log cabin overlooking the snowcapped peaks of Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park.
The four-bedroom Brinkerhoff Lodge, where they stayed, is owned and operated by the National Park Service. Under a policy adopted in 1992, after controversy over VIPs using the cabin for vacations, the National Park Service banned purely recreational activities by federal employees at the property, restricting its use to official purposes. But in recent years, the park service has interpreted that same rule so broadly as to again allow senior officials to take cheap vacations in Grand Teton with friends and family.
While visiting the park, Biden held no events, kept no public schedule, and his staff initially declined to answer a reporters question about where he spent the night. Last week, after TIME uncovered documents confirming his stay at the lodge, Bidens office said the Vice President planned to personally reimburse the park $1,200 for renting the Brinkerhoff for his familys vacation.

Liberal elites feather their own nests... the bull about their ‘caring’ is one more democrat lie.
Classic answer but there’s too much truth in it to let it go unsaid.
Yeah, this “scandal” is a real political time bomb. [/s]
I’m thinking this drivel is what the MSM will offer up to show that they are not biased.
1200 bucks? That probably wouldn’t even cover Hunter’s coke bill for the week....
Indeed. These are the parks that We the People were banned from
Good thing that’s not illegal or anything. After all, Joe is part of royalty!
Dacha for only Top Party Members, Comrades!
The moral of this story is simple:
If you STEAL Something and get caught, just promise to repay what you STOLE and all is ok.
Hey, get a job with the government and break the law (no problem), for those at the top of the ladder. To you little workers below, follow the agenda or no promotions nor cover for you.
Some animals are more equal than others, and besides, it’s none of our business, so STFU or you may be getting a visit from the IRS.
I hate to defend Biden on anything but wouldn’t housing the Vice President count as an “official use,” the same as staying at the Naval Observatory or Camp David (or riding on Marine 1)?
Come on. The Central Committee of the Communist Party deserves its perks. Think how hard they’re working to destroy this country. It’s gotta be exhausting.
“Biden, LaHood and Duncan each claim they will pay whatever they owe if the parks department sends them a bill.”

Three bank robbers are nabbed by police as they’re leaving the bank they just robbed. They hand the money to the cops and say Here. This is reimbursement for the money we just stole. Cop says Okay. Thanks. Have a nice day. (From Adventures in Liberal Land)
I’m fine with it but only if Biden promises to go and never come back.
