The Congressional Black Caucus PAC (CBC PAC) spends lavishly on upscale resorts and hotels, catering at exclusive restaurants, and on fundraising and Broadway tickets, according to a review of campaign finance records.
The CBC PAC, which is the fundraising arm of the Congressional Black Caucus, puts far more money towards administrative and fundraising purposes than it donates to candidates, the intended purpose of the political action committee.
The CBC PAC claims its mission is to increase "the number of African Americans in the U.S. Congress" and to "support non-Black candidates that champion our interests, and promote African American participation in the political process-with an emphasis on young voters," according to its website.
The PAC spent hundreds of thousands throughout the 2016 election cycle on administrative expenses that included bills for lavish trips that were paid by the committee.
A $5,000 payment was made in January 2016 from the PAC to the Buccaneer Hotel located in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, one of the "world's top 50 tropical resorts."
Later, on March 21, 2016, the PAC made another payment to a resort in the Virgin Islands. This time, the money went towards a stay at the "one-of-a-kind" Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort and Spa also located in St. Croix. The Renaissance is situated "among the foothills of a lush tropical rainforest and only steps away from the pristine sands of Estate Davis Bay."

When are they going to thank the decedents of the 600,000 white men who died between 1860 and 1865 so that they would be free to spew their hatred?
Is there a congressional white caucus?
Congressional Black Caucus PAC Spends Big on Luxury Resorts, Restaurants>>>>>>>
Still field hands with a plantation mentality.
REPRESENT YOUR CONSTITUENTS!
If anything this shows that this Caucus sucks at raising money. These sums are paltry for a national organization.
Kinda like how the Obamas treated themselves on our dime.
CBC is acing like a typical union. The bosses meet in Hawaii and other great places on the rank and file’s dime.
The sad thing is that the members look at them and say, “I’d be doing the same thing if I was in their shoes!”
Bite your tongue! A CWC? That would be “raciss.”
WHERE do they get all this money???? It’s NOT from the Caucus members paying their own way!!
Impossible.
They are all socialists.
They all long to go to Turnip Commune #43 and pull turnips.
Surely surely they can put names and faces on those vacationers to St Croix
Inquiring minds want to know
OOHHH, I’m starting to get it now...
DJT is a smart man and extremely clever...Why in his press conference he mentioned to the female reporter of color to get him an ‘in’ to the CBC. In actuality he could just be saying...”I’ve got my eyes on you CBC; I will show you how NOT racist I am..you are not exempt from my scrutiny either.”
I love it....more popcorn please.
Racists.
Well, it is cold in DC in winter!
All of congress is partying on our dime...
Black people don’t care about this. Decades of fancy living by Black pastors proves this. In the 90s there was that one that stole $400K from money to rebuild Black churches destroyed in arson attacks and no one in his congregation cared.
