Democrat refuses to return political donations from Epstein

Breitbart-

Stacey Plaskett, the delegate to the U.S House of Representatives from the Virgin Islands, is unlikely to return the thousands of dollars donated to her campaign by Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire sex offender recently arrested for child sex trafficking.

Plaskett, a Democrat, has served as the island territory’s representative to Congress since first being elected in 2014. Throughout her tenure, Plaskett has received $8,100 from Epstein, who owns his own private island in the Virgin Islands territory called Little Saint James.

Plaskett’s office told CNBC on Monday the congresswoman was “unlikely to return the contribution.”

“I’m pretty sure she’s not,” Mike McQueery, a spokesman for the congresswoman, said.

  1. At least she is honest about it. I’b Be willing to bet that most Dems who “return” money just give it to a third party to facilitate the return, but once the photo op is over the Dem gets a contribution fro some third party and ends up getting the money back.

  2. @RadioMattM: exactly. “I am not returning the campaign donations from Mr. Epstein, instead, I am donating the money to charity. Here is my check for Planned Parenthood.”
