The Kardashian family’s multi-million dollar empire is under investigation by human rights organizations for producing their high end goods in Chinese factories with sweatshop conditions, but a United States Congressman has slammed them for another reason, claiming: “They don’t give a damn about the American people.”

The allegations about Kardashian products in this post have nothing to do with their products sold at Sears.

“By going to China in order to make a $65 million profit instead of a $10 million profit you are effectively thumbing your nose at the American people,” Rohrabacher said. “They don’t give a damn about the American people.”
