Democratic Illinois Rep. Tammy Duckworth has introduced a bill to stop government employees from spending federal money on adult entertainment. She has previously voted against a bill to stop the same people from watching porn while on the government dime.
Duckworth recently introduced legislation titled “Saving Federal Dollars Through Better Use of Government Purchase and Travel Cards Act.” In a statement her office highlighted how “a 2015 report published by the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) details how certain DoD employees committed waste, fraud and abuse by using government-issued charge cards to pay for personal expenses at casinos and adult entertainment establishments.”
The Illinois representative and senate candidate voted against a bill in early July that would have created “guidelines that prohibit access to pornographic or explicit websites from a Federal computer.”(RELATED:Porn, Weed, DUIs All In A Day’s Anonymous ‘Work’ At EPA)
Duckworth has said that her recent legislation “offers a solution to help protect taxpayers and prevent future abuse.” Despite this, the Illinois Democrat has a history of voting against measures that would increase accountability of government employees.

Duckworth has voted against an amendment that would have prohibited the IRS from using funds on conferences. She also voted against “The Stop Government Abuse Act” that would have allowed federal agencies to place senior officials who are under serious investigation on unpaid leave.
