5:16Now Playing"Rep. Vance McAllister (R-La.) was franker than most lawmakers, when he admitted last week he expected to receive a campaign contribution after he voted against a bill.
The congressman, perhaps best-known for getting caught on tape kissing a staffer and returning to Congress despite vigorous calls for his resignation from Louisiana GOP leaders, said he was relaying the advice allegedly given to him by a colleague in the House as a cautionary tale of how "money controls Washington," according to The Ouachita Citizen.
In comments made to a meeting of the Northeast Chapter of Louisiana CPAs last Thursday, McAllister said he "played dumb" with the colleague, who told him to vote "no" on legislation related to the Bureau of Land Management because he would receive a bigger kickback from a special interest group that way."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
