Creepy: GOP Senator Admits Tracking Democratic Colleague’s Cars … from Crooks & Liars Red Painter

Republican men in Congress continue to be an absolute menace to society, especially towards women. Example #14788: Republican Senator Bernie Moreno was accused by Democrat Senator Jacky Rosen of STALKING and TRACKING her staffers cars to get their VIN numbers.

This came out during what should have been a boring Senate Commerce hearing regarding transportation nominees. After some investigating by Bloomberg News, it came out that Moreno was stalking staffers’ cars to write down their VIN numbers to see if he could catch them in some sort of gotcha moment to show that their cars do not have safety features that the Democrats are pushing to make standard on new vehicles.

WUHT.

Here is a bit of the back and forth:

MORENO: “As someone who’s been here 10 months, I think what we just saw is exactly classic Washington, D.C. In other words, the car that I drive should be safe, the car that my staff drives, who cares about them? I get a paycheck—”

ROSEN: “I object to you stalking my car, and my staff, to find the VIN numbers to present to this committee. Why are you doing there — what are you going to do with them? It’s an invasion of our privacy. If you came and asked me for my VIN, I will tell you what I have in my car.”

MORENO: “It’s visible, it’s visible from the outside of the car.”
