PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)Representative Kevin McCarthy was stuck with an extremely large check after having lunch at Mar-a-Lago, aides have confirmed.
The House Minority Leader had enjoyed a sumptuous five-course lunch with one other person, but when the check arrived his dining companion had vanished.
The check, which amounted to more than seven hundred dollars, raised eyebrows among the congressmans staff.
Even if you count all the Diet Cokes, that was a lot, one staffer said.
Upon closer examination, the lunch bill included a mysterious administrative charge amounting to six hundred dollars, which McCarthy had no choice but to pay.
For his part, the Republican leader said that his visit to Mar-a-Lago was great, and downplayed reports that he was unable to get his parking validated, costing him an additional ninety dollars.

"Donald Trump, in a meeting with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy on Thursday, agreed to help the GOP retake control of the House in 2022".
First they vote no on impeachment, then it's full steam ahead............

a con job, McCarthy kissing his boss's ass.

This is not funny.
Edit: if I did that on a work expense account I would be fired no questions asked.
