UPDATE on the Ted Lieu/proxy vote/Bermuda cruise story. Lieu missed the Build Back Better vote that was held during the time he was heading to the NYC cruise terminal for his luxury Thanksgiving cruise (yea vote cast by proxy), but there's more... redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
His campaign spent $8,600 on airfare in one day, August 3, 2021, just a few weeks after this special, limited-time cruise series was announced by Crystal Cruises. That's nearly half of what he spent this yr and 4x what he spent in all of 2020. 
For contrast, Adam Schiff's campaign spent $6,000 on travel during the same time period in 2021. fec.gov/data/disbursem…
Why was Ted's campaign spending so much on travel? He sent 5 proxy letters btwn Sep 2021 and Jan 2022 (including weekend he went to NFL game in LA) claiming he had to miss work due to the "ongoing public health emergency." And we don't see evidence of fundraisers/campaign travel.
Lieu's FEC filings don't list passengers, travel dates, travel purpose, anything. He owes us answers for this, and for why he's partaking in luxury international travel and playing hooky from work while a constituent was murdered by a homeless person. people.com/crime/woman-st…
