5:03Now PlayingRight-wingers in Congress are reported to have a much higher rate of hiring ex-lobbyists as congressional staffers compared to Democrats proving a dark truth. Jayar Jackson and Rayyvana break it down on The Damage Report.

Republicans hired way more exlobbyists as congressional staffers in the last year than Democrats, analysis finds
"Republicans on Capitol Hill have hired far more former lobbyists to work in their offices than Democrats in the past year, according to a new analysis.
Data compiled by Legistorm — a website that tracks congressional staffers' job movements and salaries — found that 61 of the 96 former lobbyists who took jobs in partisan offices on Capitol Hill in the past year were hired by Republicans, a 64% to 36% split.
But the so-called "revolving-door" problem — the phenomenon of people moving from jobs in government to jobs as lobbyists, consultants, or political strategists and vice versa — is one that besets both political parties.
Legistorm also found that of the 415 former congressional staffers who worked in partisan offices and registered as lobbyists this year, 54% came from Republican offices and 46% came from Democratic offices — a much more even split."
