Business as usual for the GOP.
Quote:
In a letter submitted to the judge before his sentencing this week, Benton said he had suffered enormously in the face of federal investigations over the last eight years, which he said had nearly bankrupted him and ruined his good name. Benton wrote that he currently delivers for DoorDash to make ends meet, and, in asking for more home confinement instead of prison time, argued that being separated from his family would be painful for them, including his young daughter. In pleading for leniency, Benton cited his Christianity and claimed he was no longer involved with politics.
Not only was he breaking the law he was grifting all along too. People like him are the ones who give Christianity a bad name.
If you can't do the time don't do the crime.
