As you may have heard, some North Carolina congressional lawmakers have chosen to reject their paychecks during the government shutdown. But not GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers. And she offers an explanation as to why.

“The thing of it is, I need my paycheck. That is the bottom line,” Ellmers told WTVD, the Raleigh ABC station Wednesday.

3. I remember her. Selfish pathetic hypocrite.

Personal life[edit]
Ellmers met her husband Brent Ellmers, a surgeon, while working at Beaumont Hospital. After the birth of their son, the family moved to Dunn, North Carolina, where Ellmers and her husband ran a practice.[6]

Ellmers, a Roman Catholic,[42] has said "As a mom, Christian and nurse, my beliefs have deepened through experience... I am pro-family."[43]

In October 2015, Ellmers was accused of having an affair with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who had unexpectedly dropped out of the race for Speaker of the House shortly before the allegations surfaced.[44][45] Days earlier, Representative Walter B. Jones, Jr. had sent a letter to the Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers stating that any candidates for a leadership position with "misdeeds" should withdraw from the race.[46] Both Ellmers and McCarthy have denied the allegations.[44]

I remember thinking - she's married to a surgeon? Then what's she whining about? She can WELL afford to do without a paycheck or two.

4. How perfectly republican. "I've got mine, screw you."

republicans have built a freaking wall around ethics and morals so they never need consider them.
