How on earth could they have possibly spent millions of dollars on an event that required little more than rental of a stage, a couple of big screens, and some A/V equipment?

Plus ya’ll keep in mind that Kimberly Guilfoyle lies, and now the liars club is claiming that she’s lying about raising money for them? That’s rich. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Same way they supposedly spent millions on the 2017 inauguration that featured junior high school bands and teenage baton twirlers.

In other words, most of it probably ended up in the pockets of FatAss and his spawn.

In one case, Wren routed roughly $150,000 from Fancelli to the Republican Attorneys General Association’s Rule of Law Defense Fund, which then purchased a robocall instructing Trump supporters to come to Washington and march on the Capitol after the president’s speech.

So, most all Red State AGs were in on the insurrection, too. Good to know. Let the resignations begin.

Define “split”. Split how? Split in two? Split the premises? Split the proceeds? Split their spit? Splittle their spittal?
