… a spokesman for McSally said she can’t control how much her supporters give.
The classic defense.
Rules are for the little people. Leona Helmsley is the patron saint of the GOP.
“McSally, whose fundraising practices have drawn scrutiny in the past, appears to have accepted more than $270,000 in excessive campaign contributions during the recent midterm campaign.”
“An audit by the FEC that was released last year found that the former congresswoman’s 2014 campaign accepted $319,000 in excessive contributions.”
At least she’s getting better about the extent to which she breaks the rules. Or hiding it better.
She has one heck of a defense: “I hired incompetents to run my campaign and track my finances in 2014 - and I did it again in 2018 even after all the trouble I got into the first time. However, in 2018 my staff turned out to be $49,000 more competent!”
The voters knew the truth and voted against her…the gov should have paid attention…he put another rethug crook in office.
Speaking campaign finance violations what’s happening with Duncan Hunter? Anyone?
Or did McSally kick in to Ducey’s re-election campaign, a little early?
I’m not sure what’s going on here. Didn’t anyone inform the FEC that McSally is a Republican?
$270K in excessive donations and she still couldn’t win the election
McSally is McCorrupt.
Great, the thing that would be better if it came out a month before Nov. 2020. However, she has plenty of time between now and then to do it again.
I recall Bernie Sanders running into this very same problem, but since he didn’t win apparently correcting it just isn’t a priority. Campaign finance laws are not taken seriously which is the larger problem, but in the age of Trump laws are really just suggestions.
Damnit Jim, she’s a pilot, not an accountant.
Damnit Jim, she’s a pilot, not a politician.
Damnit Jim, she’s a pilot, not a patriot.
Damnit Jim, she’s a feckless climber who was duly appointed to the Senate after she lost the election, an opportunist Trumpublican, and a blatant liar, not anyone who needs to follow the rules made for the little people.
Damnit Jim, her political career is almost dead, have some pity.
uh… is it just me or does that look like Ben Stiller in a wig, a shade of black that nature never intended?
And…she lost the election anyway…only in DC by appointment…our electoral system is truly fucked up.
