Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse Is In Hot Water As He Is Confronted With An Ethics Complaint That Has Been Filed For An Alleged Conflict Of Interest

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is in hot water as he is facing an ethics complaint for a possible conflict of interest. Whitehouse is serving his third term and is being accused of backing laws that allowed over 14 million in grants to be distributed to a nonprofit that has ties to his wife. 

Sandra Whitehouse, who is the President of Ocean Wonks LLC, has made at least 2.6 million dollars from her consulting firm.  

Via Town Hall,

“According to grant records, since Whitehouse’s employment, Ocean Conservancy was awarded 19 government grants totaling more than $14.2 million. Notably, nearly half of this amount was allocated in FY 2024 alone.

Last year, the group was given two grants: one in September for $5.2 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as part of a marine debris cleanup project, and another in December worth $1.7 million from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), again to assist with cleaning up marine debris.

Senator Whitehouse rallied behind the legislation that led to these grants.

The former was funded by the Biden administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Senator Whitehouse publicly supported and voted for. The latter received its funding through the EPA’s annual appropriations bill, another Whitehouse-backed measure.”

What a hypocrite Senator Whitehouse is. For years he’s been running his mouth about dark money and court ethics. 

Here are a few controversial things about Senator Whitehouse:

• Called Kash Patel a “flagrant extremist with appallingly bad judgment”
• Hinted At A New Conspiracy “We need to prepare ourselves for Trump-Russia 2.0”
• Alleged ties to an all-white beach club
• Ethics Complaint filed

Senator Whitehouse is a polarizing figure and never misses a chance to talk smack about President Trump and his administration. The way he treated Kash Patel at his FBI confirmation hearing was ridiculous. Whitehouse was acting like a bully and would not let Patel answer his questions.

Whitehouse is another Democrat obstructionist who does not want to help fix the mess that the prior administration left. I hope the ethics committee doesn’t leave any stone unturned in their investigation. If Whitehouse is found guilty of the ethics complaint, he should be expelled from the Senate.
