Rigell cash-for-clunkers picked-up by USA Today
Loyola quoted on Rigell's hypocrisy
In a USA Today article titled "Dealers-turned-candidates run into trouble", Scott Rigell is pointed out as one of four car dealers turned candidate "running against Nancy Pelosi" that participated in a Democratic stimulus effort. Additionally, Rigell is also attributed to contributing significant amounts to the Obama Presidential and Mark Warner Senatorial campaigns.
Scott Rigell, who is running in a House district that includes Virginia Beach, criticized Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a January speech for "reckless bailouts and an out-of-control federal debt." But records show he sold 138 cars under Cash for Clunkers last year.
"It's the hypocrisy of it," said Ben Loyola, a Republican challenging Rigell in the primary. "You can't say you're against these programs, bailouts, and yet benefit wholeheartedly from them."
