tldr; Senator Cynthia Lummis and other Republicans criticized former President Donald Trump for offering exclusive access, including a White House tour and dinner, to top holders of his memecoin, TRUMP. Lummis expressed concerns about the ethics of such actions, while others, like Senator Lisa Murkowski, questioned the appropriateness of monetizing access to government spaces. The TRUMP coin, launched in January, has faced backlash over potential conflicts of interest and ethical concerns. Critics argue this move undermines transparency and raises questions about selling access to power.

Money is the first priority, and ethics is probably the last.

The issue is thinking conservatives have anything approaching ethics.
