Republicans complain often about wasting taxpayer dollars.. except when they do it. In a report released to the Sunflower State Journal today, Scott Schwab (R), current secretary of state revealed that his predecessor, Kris Kobach used the office to pay for 1,000 rounds of ammo — ammunition they now cannot account for or locate.
Secretary of State Scott Schwab on Thursday revealed that the office purchased 1,000 rounds of ammunition under the leadership of his predecessor Kris Kobach.
Schwab released a statement on Thursday indicating that he asked for law enforcement assistance to find the 1,000 rounds after they vanished.
Schwab’s office discovered that the ammunition was purchased in 2017 – when Kobach was still secretary of state – during a review of office accounts.
In a quote that could be the understatement of the year, Schwab noted that “It didn’t seem appropriate to have ammunition unaccounted for, especially when purchased with state funds.”
Kris Kobach, the failed candidate for Governor, currently stands as a candidate for US Senate, but Republicans who aren’t fans of the idea seem to take no time in piling on the candidate with his earlier missteps.
