Mark Kirk tweets may be violating campaigning rules...again

Illinois Congressman, Mark Kirk may have tweeted into "questionable legal territory" again, according to Progress for Illinois.

The issue at hand is if Kirk's Twitter page is an extension of his campaign, which it seems to be, then he may be violating the rule of campaigning on federal property by tweeting about visiting a Veterans Affairs hospital.

This is the second time in a matter of weeks that Kirk's tweets have become controversial, when he tweeted while doing military service.

Kirk posted these tweets one after the other yesterday:
