Fifteen democrat Senators have written a letter to the FEC seeking to act on the possibility that multinationals are using their foreign dollars to affect US elections. Ten of the fifteen have PAC’s that have donated to Paul ‘foreign money hypocrite’ Hodes. All but one of the fifteen has taken money in 2010 from foreign multi-nationals including Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a co-signer and co-hypocrite who took at least 41,850.00 potentially foreign dollars in 2010 herself before signing the letter.
But that’s a hypocrite for a different election. We’re here to remind you what a hypocrite Paul Hodes is.
A review of US Senators by CNBC identifies 86 who have received money from companies that fit the left wing narrative on those meddling foreign contributors, at least 27 of whom have PACS or committees that have shared money with Paul Hodes. That’s on top of money he’s received directly from organizations or companies with a foreign presence.
And on the jump (or the CNBC link above) you can see all the foreign money the letter signers have roped in, just in 2010.
So I guess they’ll be giving it all back then?
