    Not…really. It’s the supposed to be the more ethical, upstanding half of Congress, with the popular House of Representatives constituting the deplorable half.

    So, regardless of which side of Congress is referring to, or both sides, it doesn’t matter: their self-enrichment undermines their stance on ethics. It’s not like Manchin, a Senator, also hasn’t benefited from the largesse of billionaires.
