But Fetterman says he’ll try again
A congressional scheme by Democrats to send $1 million in tax money to an LGBT “fetish” center in Philadelphia has been derailed … by Democrats.
It was the Libs of TikTok channel on X that had raised questions about the $1 million earmark for the LGBTQ Center “which boasts rooms to try BDSM and s*x f*tishes and hosts BDSM and s*x k*nbk parties…”
As a result, a letter from Democratic senators John Fetterman and Bob Casey asked that the money be pulled from a piece of spending legislation pending before Congress.
The Washington Times explained, “It was exactly the type of embarrassment Congress hoped to avoid as it took another spin on the cash carousel known on Capitol Hill as earmarking, by which lawmakers redirect some of the usual spending to specific projects in their home states and districts.”
Earmarks, used for years, were banned some years ago by Republicans, then returned by Democrats in 2021.
They still face opposition from conservatives. “We cannot support forcing Americans to fund earmarks that waste $1 million on an ‘environmental justice center’ or $4 million on a Green New Deal police station while 60% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck because of reckless government spending,” charged Ryan Walker, executive vice president at Heritage Action.
The overall bill, which now is in the Senate, pays for the Department of Veterans Affairs, highways, food stamps, the FBI, the EPA and others.
The Philadelphia Center was cited on X for an apparent advertisement for a “play party.”
