Hahaha he was thinking:
"Stupid kid, Citibank NEVER pays me in cash."

I was really excited when I read the premise of this video. It was something I thought would be a terrific idea and would show the public how easily politicians are bought out. Unfortunately, it was poorly executed and looked more like a video produced by high schoolers. Would have been much better to draw it out longer and actually show that Jim Himes could be bought out for some ridiculous made-up bill.

They should’ve did fake monopoly money and gave it to him to see his reaction

brilliant, ust brilliant. direct action like this is what is desperately needed. if you're not making a congressperson uncomfortable in public, you're not doing it right. our elected representatives are so used to doing this, that they expect and feel entitled to get away with it. many believe that it's entirely right and appropriate for them as leaders. we have to spread the message that this is not ok, and visual metaphors like this one are a great way to do so. keep it up!

Americans should be chasing those people with pitchforks, not playing pranks on them so we can all laugh and share it on facebook.

I like how the congressman hid behind his aids or entourage when he was confronted by this challenge. Some Leader he is...

"Corrupt politician" is redundant.

Good for a laugh, but it's going to take real bombs in those backpacks  before anything changes.

France in 1789 to 1799 had a way of dealing with corruption.

THE BEST YouTube channel around. Subscribed, spreading the word and supporting on Indiegogo. Excellent work guys.

I'm in love with this channel. You had me at "corrupt politician being shamed".

[saltymethods]

Wow... None of the congressmen and women have any shame. How do they sleep at night?

[fernandof.]

try not dropping the money next time. I will like to know if that guy takes the money as if it was just business as usual.

[batfly]

Duh!

You didn't use a proper LAUNDRY bag.

The only way lower than the snake's belly is to become the very congressperson it slithers

People only hate lobbyists when they lobby for something they are against. If they agree with the lobbyists goals then those are the "good lobbyists".

Is this the same kid that announced on board the commercial airliner that he thought he had the Coronavirius --- as a joke?

[christinejones]

it looks like they kept the money any way...
