Lobsters and Ribeyes: Mike Lawler’s Grand 4th of July Vacation?

Is Lawler “okay with the increase in fuel [prices]” as his fellow Republican Troy Nehls said? 

While Hudson Valley families grapple with record-high cost of groceries
 increasing the price of their 4th of July celebrations by nearly 10%, Mike Lawler and his fellow House Republicans are getting a head start on their taxpayer funded vacations, complete with “big lobster tails” and “nice ribeyes.” Lawler and House Republicans are skipping town and leaving work early after failing to address skyrocketing gas prices across the country. In New York, gas is still over $1 more expensive per gallon than at the beginning of the year. Still, Lawler and his fellow House Republicans are “okay with the increase in fuel [prices]” and living the good life on their taxpayer funded salaries because “60% of Americans don’t work as hard” as they do.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“While Mike Lawler and his fellow House Republicans are daydreaming about their luxurious vacations, Hudson Valley families are worrying about how to put food on the table and fill up their gas tank to get to work in the morning. Lawler is enjoying his undeserved vacation while he can because he knows that NY-17 voters are going to vote him out and send Cait Conley to Congress this November.”
