I don’t think it’s coincidental at all.
This line of CARD making business for General Dynamics barely registers on their financials; it’s so small. I am sure as I told Publius that the top brass at GD could be reassured that their core and most profitable businesses with the federal government would be untouched if they backed away from involvement in this ‘SURGE’ of CARD making.
However, what’s small to GD overall can be a large chunk of business to the plant in Corbin, KY, hence why Rogers is blowing smoke.
Cruz and Abbot need to get on top of this. What Conservative in the House can corner Rogers and read him the riot act or throw him a bone for his small GD group in KY?
I’m sure you’ve seen this....
and this...
There’s a name for this. Time for Rogers to a) at the very least get kicked off of the Appropriations Committee or b) resign.
