Kid was a rookie at the craft.

Nothing to see here.

Yup.

This has nothing to do with Millennials or any other arbitrary group set of people. Schock broke the rules, as politicians do all the time, regardless of age.

Which "older people" have resigned from Congress under a cloud of ethical violations in the current regulatory and policy scheme? We're not talking about the 70s/80/90's when the rules we're different. We're talking about today's rules. Who has resigned in like fashion?

I fully concede that Congress, in general, have various tricks up their sleeves to conceal costs to taxpayers. That's definitely nothing new. But Schock took it to a level not seen in the current climate. Do you think its a mere coincidence that it took an entitled Millennial to flaunt these rules so transparently to document them on social media? Does your grandpa have a Twitter and Facebook account?

No, more like I don't think it's a mere coincidence that he happens to be a republican.
