Anti-Semitic congresswoman shares massive fundraising with four fellow freshmen
WFB: The reelection campaigns for two freshman Democratic members of the House, Reps. Lucy McBath (D., Ga.) and Jahana Hayes (D., Conn.), failed to disclose large contributions received from the campaign of fellow freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.).
The contributions were revealed in Omar’s most recent filing, which disclosed transfers of $2,000 to both McBath and Hayes on March 27 of this year. Neither the filing from McBath nor from Hayes discloses the payments from their Minnesota colleague.
Reps. Lauren Underwood (D., Ill.) and Haley Stevens (D., Mich.) also received contributions from Omar, on March 27 and March 28, respectively. Both Underwood and Stevens included the contributions in their first quarter fundraising reports.
Underwood has already paid the price for her disclosure, with a national Republican group saying her acceptance of the donation serves as her acceptance of anti-Semitism.
“By accepting her campaign cash, Lauren Underwood has made clear the reason she won’t condemn Ilhan Omar’s vile anti-Semitic rhetoric is because she doesn’t have a problem with it,” said Carly Atchison, spokeswoman for the National Republican Campaign Committee more
I don’t know what’s more reprehensible– taking the money, not disclosing it, or McBath’s campaign saying “the report is accurate”.
Isn’t Lucy McBath the Georgia representative that lives in Tennessee?
Tepid response by the GOP. Don’t count on these rats now any more than you have on the past. We need to take back the GOP.
