Wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, he&#8217;s complaining to the media; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Doug Hughes had hoped to raise awareness about the influence of big money in politics by deliberately breaking the law to deliver 535 letters, one for each member of Congress. Instead, the overwhelming focus of news coverage has been about the gaps he exposed in national security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got bigger problems in this country than worrying about whether the security around DC is ironclad,&#8221; Hughes told The Associated Press. &#8220;We need to be worried about the piles of money that are going into Congress.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, he wanted to bring attention to himself, and he did exactly that &#8211; his little show for the cameras had nothing to do with the message that he claims he brought to Congress, so, really what does he expect? Mr. Hughes should just be happy that he didn&#8217;t catch a Red-Eye anti-aircraft missile in his lap, do his time in prison and shut up. By the way, Mr. Hughes, the courts say that political donations are speech, so what would you do? Rewrite the Constitution?<\/p>\n<p>His little flight into DC had nothing to do with his message and everything to do with some personal stupid need for attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press reports that Doug Hughes, the fellow who flew a gyrocopter onto Capitol grounds &hellip; <a title=\"Drama queen upset that his message was lost in his antics\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=59368\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Drama queen upset that his message was lost in his antics<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
