Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The events leading to this week’s surprise announcement that Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock would resign read like the plot of a TV show. From stories about his ‘Downton Abbey’-esque office decor, to widely Instagrammed photos of his travels and questions about his vehicle expenses, Shock’s behavior in office led to a wave of legal and ethical questions for the promising young GOP star. We consider the implications the scrutiny of his spending — and its results — might have for other members of Congress.
