Rhode Island Congressman Plans ‘Actual Housewives’ Watch Occasion Amid Partial Shutdown

U.S. Rep. Seth Magaziner‘s leaving political drama behind throughout his 2-week vacay, and he is changing it with some good old style actuality TV drama … partial authorities shutdown be damned!

The Congressman from Rhode Island introduced final week he’ll cohost a watch occasion for “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” — the most recent version of the long-running Bravo franchise — when the present premieres April 2.

Rhode Island State Rep. Jackie Baginski and State Sen. Hanna Gallo are cohosting the night, which is able to function hors d’oeuvres, specialty cocktails and door prizes.

If Rep. Magaziner’s watch occasion seems like extreme tone deafness, that is as a result of your elected members of Congress jetted outta Washington with out doing their jobs … particularly ending the partial authorities shutdown, and getting aid for hundreds of presidency staff.

Whereas Rep. Seth’s busy planning an evening stuffed with enjoyable, meals, and ferocious actuality TV, TSA officers are ready with bated breath to seek out out if the Home will lastly fund their division — and others — because the shutdown’s left many unpaid for weeks.

As you recognize, on Friday, the Senate lastly agreed to partially fund the Division of Homeland Safety — minus ICE and Border Patrol — however Home Speaker Mike Johnson shot it down … that means, there can be no deal till they’re again in session.

Now, it is true the congressional recess can also be referred to as a “district work period” … a time when members of Congress are presupposed to work together with constituents of their district. A ‘Housewives’ watch occasion is not precisely a city corridor, however right here we’re.

It simply would not look like an excellent look … particularly when a TSA agent like Rebecca Wolf tells us she made somewhat greater than $13 when she bought her final paycheck on February 28.
