No Towel Service? Dem. Bruce Braley Complains About Doing Own Laundry (+video)

Photo Credit: APU.S. Rep. Bruce Braley is likely sweating it after a remark about the lack of towel service at an exclusive gym that has remained open to lawmakers during the government shutdown.

The Iowa congressman defended the backlash for the gym’s continued operation, while thousands of government employees are furloughed, including workers at the fitness center.

He said on the “Bill Press Show:” “There’s hardly anybody working down there. There’s no towel service. So we’re doing our own laundry down there. And we pay a fee to belong to the House gym. So this is no different than if you’re working for an employer that offers a wellness program, you pay a fee to belong. That’s what we do there.”
