GOP Rep: The ‘Deep State’ is Responsible for Ordering Ben Carson’s Dining Set

Quote:

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) appeared to blame the nefarious “Deep State” for ordering a costly dining set for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson.

During a recent appearance on Talk! Of the Town, an upstate New York local radio show, the New York Republican was asked about the decision to buy a $31,000 dining room set for Carson’s office last year. Tenney told the hosts that the “Ben Carson story is so misunderstood” before pointing to a no-named staffer of cryptic origin as the culprit.

“Somebody in the Deep State, it was not one of his people apparently, ordered a table, like a conference room table or whatever it was for a room,” Tenney continued. “And that’s what the cost was. Ben Carson tried to—he said “you know how hard it is to turn it back because of the way that the procurement happens?”

“What it is is that people in the Deep State who’ve been there, they might be—they say ‘hey we’re going to buy this because this is what somebody else did.’

So the Deep State's nefarious plan to destroy a person is to... order him a $31,000 furniture set?!

Where do I sign up to be the Deep State's enemy??

Sounds simple enough unless you have actually worked on government contracts and purchasing.

Kind of reminds me when the federal government spent millions of dollars upgrading Homestead Air Force Base, just south of Miami, for protection against earthquakes. That darn Miami is a shakin and a rollin all the time!

Didn't Carson blame it on his wife?

Is she a member of the deep state?

It's worse than we thought.
