@amandacarpenter Um… I think it's time those incompetent buffoons found another job.

You’d think, you’d hope, that senators would want to know what’s in that $1.012 trillion omnibus spending bill they’re considering, but it seems their staffers can’t even be bothered with that. Amanda Carpenter, senior communications adviser for Sen. Cruz, has gotten wind of what the staffers are up to, and it should seriously piss you off:
STAFFER: "I'll admit, I haven't read this. At all, but I'm hearing from outside groups…can you clarify?"

Staff also being advised to tell constituents: "There are no earmarks in this bill. None. At all. Don't entertain those questions."

Pardon? Earlier this week, the Heritage Foundation sat down to do the work that Senate staffers evidently refuse to do. And, lo and behold, Heritage discovered earmarks galore.
Passing laws with out knowing what is in them IS hilarious! Usually works out well too. @amandacarpenter

Don’t we know it.
