Update: "GOP Jesus" has posted on X where to get refunds. Never trust anyone on unfact-checked X named "GOP Jesus".

Congress members were flooded with requests for invitations to the inauguration when TFG was elected. Joaquin Castro(D-TX) and Grace Meng(NY) are now having to explain why they don't get refunds for their travel and lodging expenses.


Enjoy your commemorative tickets. Hope none of them booked the $73,500 Watergate Hotel special!
