DC: Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse did not have a response when asked about the dark money scandal engulfing Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the liberal political action committee Justice Democrats.
A report Monday from The Daily Caller News Foundation detailed Ocasio-Cortez’s relationship with the organization, which is dedicated to electing socialist Democrats to Congress. The report stated that the freshman congresswoman and her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabart, obtained majority control of the PAC in December 2017, which former FEC commissioners said may have opened the pair up to significant campaign finance violations.
On Thursday, Whitehouse claimed he had not read about the reported violations.
“I don’t,” Whitehouse said when asked if he had any thoughts on the allegations. “In fact, I’m just seeing it for the first time.”
Whitehouse was then handed a piece of paper that presumably detailed the allegations, which the senator promised to look over before the elevator doors shut. Whitehouse was recently re-elected for a third term in the Senate, and has made opposition to “dark money” in politics a centerpiece of his career. more here
Looking forward to a failed attempt at a resolution condemning such behavior. Federal law enforcement doesn’t exist anymore.
Democrats are exempt.
He’s as full of shit as anyone on the left.
I assume they’re all rats. Demorats; Republirats. Of course a few are not.
he’s a lying sack of shit
remember this:
“…Documents show Whitehouse has admitted to the FBI he told a Rhode Island man to tell a reporter Kavanaugh was involved with a brutal rape aboard a boat in Newport Rhode Island in 1985…”
…”The man told the FBI he contacted Senator Sheldon Whitehouse about a possible story involving Brett Kavanaugh raping a woman, along with Mark Judge, in Newport in 1985. The unidentified man now has apologized but told authorities Whitehouse encouraged him to “make noise” to the media, instructed him to contact a certain liberal reporter and “drop a bomb”on Kavanaugh the night before the hearing involving Dr. Ford.”

that was all fake, and it just evaporated. No repercussions for him.
I don’t know the timeline of his bill, but if he presented it before the princess sparkle pony ruse was exposed, he will likely try to let it die, or modify it, so it has no meaning and no association with her.
And he sits on the senate judiciary committee.
I’d bet cash money he’s lying through his teeth on this one. He knows what happened and he’s trying to figure out his response as well as communicate with Nancy about the Democrat Party response will be. It’s a golden opportunity to get rid of AOC while keeping their hands clean and to slap down on the hard left uprising in the party.
