Axelrod: Corporate Spending On Election ‘A Threat To Our Democracy’ Appearing on Face The Nation, White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod continued to blast corporate spending in the current election season, including the charge made by Democrats that spending has included money from foreign sources. “This issue of this special interest spending is very important,” said Axelrod. “It’s never happened before that organizations are spending this kind of money.
