Everybody Wang Fund Tonight

Post by kalm »

Since we all know that money is speech and there's no quid pro quo (I'm looking at you Ganny and conservative SCOTUS judges), why does Mr. Wang throw his money away like this? Why is he such a shitty businessman?

And why in the fuck do you have to have green card to donate $120,000 to a governor's campaign fund?

In other news, it's shocking...shocking I tell ya that there's a Clinton connection here...

:coffee:
Among the McAuliffe donations that drew the interest of the investigators was $120,000 from a Chinese businessman, Wang Wenliang, through his U.S. businesses. Wang was previously delegate to China’s National People’s Congress, the country’s ceremonial legislature.

Wang also has been a donor to the Clinton foundation, pledging $2 million. He also has been a prolific donor to other causes, including to New York University, Harvard and environmental issues in Florida.

Wang holds a green card, and as such is eligible to contribute to McAuliffe’s campaign, his spokeswoman told WTVR. Federal law generally prohibits foreign nationals from donating to elections, but makes an exception for green-card holders.

Where was this manufactured outrage from The Atlantic in 2007-2008 when all this foreign money came flying into the Obama campaign? :coffee:
