It does not matter, they are Republicans, all is right in the world.

The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has found “substantial reason to believe” that Reps. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) and Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) improperly utilized campaign funds at two social clubs in Texas.
In two separate reports released Monday, the OCE — an independent, nonpartisan entity that reviews allegations of misconduct regarding lawmakers and staff members — found that Jackson and Hunt spent thousands of campaign dollars at two private Texas social clubs in a way that it said violates ethical standards.
Campaign finance laws forbid lawmakers from putting campaign funds toward personal use, which includes dues or fees paid at a country club, unless they are for a specific fundraising event.
The OCE recommended that the Ethics Committee further investigate the allegations, and the panel said it would review them, according to statements from the chair and ranking member on Monday. Attorneys for both lawmakers have argued that the funds spent at the social clubs were for official purposes.
