A U.S. Senator's job isn't to go out and hand out food/water or shuttle people around and there probably isn't a single one that would do it unless it was for a photo op.  The fact of the matter is he had the capability and means to do his actual job no matter where he is at.

Keep in mind.  EVERY politician that is "on the front lines" and "doing the hard work" whether in office or not is only doing a photo op.  Nothing more.

Say that I "sound like Marie Antoinette" all you want, but I think most people with common sense would leave if they had the means to.  If the destination happens to be a luxurious resort more power to them.

Regardless of what you think a Senator's job is (and you're wrong about that anyways), it is an elite job. The average people have to BELIEVE that the elites are working for them or the Republic breaks down to nothing.
