5:52Now PlayingIn Washington, D.C., Congress has hit impeachment mania.
But leading up to the 2020 presidential election, two leftist groups want voters in swing states to know that President Trump’s Ukraine policy isn’t the only questionable part of his time in office.
To convince them of that, they rented a bus.
“The administration’s corruption runs deep,” said Stephanie Taylor, a co-founder of the nonprofit Progressive Change Institute. “It's everywhere and it's impacting people's lives. It's impacting the water we drink. It's impacting our trade war with China. And so we're really trying to make this corruption visible and then see how people respond.”
Along with the Revolving Door Project, PCI paid tens of thousands of dollars to fly purple state voters out to D.C., just to cart them around in a luxury bus for a tour that included many of D.C.’s federal buildings.
At every stop — from Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s palatial home to the Agriculture Department’s headquarters — a tour guide rattled off a list of the offenses perpetrated by the executive branch staff affiliated with them.
