Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) may be using an Ouija board to solicit campaign donations, as it has been revealed she received a sizable sum from a person who has been deceased for the past 10 years.
According to Free Beacon, Tlaib's campaign Federal Election Commission filings reveal the freshman congresswoman received a generous donation from a businessman who has been deceased for a decade.
The Free Beacon reported:
Democratic freshman representative Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) received a generous donation during the second quarter in the name of a man who died more than 10 years ago, a review of campaign and online records shows.
Tlaib's campaign committee, Rashida Tlaib for Congress, hauled in donations of at least $2,000 from dozens of individuals between April 1 and June 30. One of those contributions was from George S. Farah Sr., a Michigan businessman, real estate developer, and community leader who made his way from Palestine to the United States in the mid-1950s. Farah passed away on Feb. 1, 2009, from heart failure, according to a Michigan Live article published at the time of his death.
On June 22, Tlaib's campaign received a $2,500 donation in his name, Federal Election Commission filings show. A search of public records, which also state that he is deceased, provides an address identical to the one written on the contribution to Tlaib's campaign committee. Grand Blanc Township property records also show that the residence located at that address is registered in Farah's name along with that of his widow.
While Tlaib may have received the apparently fraudulent donation unknowingly, Free Beacon reports that she was the only candidate to receive a donation from the deceased man. Federal laws exist that make it illegal to donate on behalf of another person – living or dead – meaning there is very little chance this donation is above board.
According to The Free Beacon, the Tlaib campaign maintains that the donation came from the living heir to the original donor:
"Gisele Farah is the sole beneficiary of a trust in her late husband's name, George S. Farah Sr., who as you noted passed away in 2009. Gisele Farah, as the sole beneficiary in control of the trust, contributed to our campaign with funds from her trust. We will amend our campaign records and filings to clarify that the campaign contribution was from Gisele Farah and should be designated under her name."
Tlaib, a vocal member of "The Squad" derided by President Donald Trump on Twitter, appears to be having a confusing first term in Congress. Last month, she declared that the fight for a $15 minimum wage is now obsolete, and due to the cost of household items including milk, activists should now demand a $20 minimum wage.
COWARD: Sen. James Lankford Grovels to Black Constituents for Opposing Electoral Fraud
Lankford is an ethnomasochist.
Since last week's siege on the U.S. Capitol, there has been a tremendous amount of groveling from Republican cowards desperate to save face and avoid media scrutiny, but Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) has taken it to a new low.
Lankford issued a letter apologizing to his black constituents for opposing electoral fraud. He is sorry because the areas that committed the most fraud just so happened to be diverse inner-city communities. Multiculturalism means that fraud is ignored, and it is our national strength. This is the credo of the New America.
The Oklahoma senator wrote that his efforts "caused a firestorm of suspicion among many of my friends, particularly in Black communities around the state. I was completely blindsided, but I also found a blind spot."
"What I did not realize was all of the national conversation about states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, was seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly Black communities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit," he wrote.
"After decades of fighting for voting rights, many Black friends in Oklahoma saw this as a direct attack on their right to vote, for their vote to matter, and even a belief that their votes made an election in our country illegitimate," he added.
Lankford's pathetic obsequious letter apologizing for fighting the vote steal shows why the Republican Party is dying, and Republican politicians are despised by their own rank-and-file party members. There is little difference between a GOP elected official and a social justice activist these days.
"I can assure you, my intent to give a voice to Oklahomans who had questions was never also an intent to diminish the voice of any Black American. I should have recognized how what I said and what I did could be interpreted by many of you," he wrote. "I deeply regret my blindness to that perception, and for that I am sorry."
Big League Politics has reported on how the Capitol riot forced RINOs to show their true colors and publicly express the disdain they have always held for President Trump:
Mitch McConnell is reportedly "pleased" about the possibility of Trump's second impeachment, viewing it as an opportunity to purge Trump from the Republican Party and whatever else Conservative Inc. deems "toxic."
In a New York Times report published Monday afternoon, Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman write that the outgoing Senate Majority Leader believes Trump committed "impeachable offenses." McConnell also welcomes impeachment in order to justify dumping Trump and shedding his influence over the GOP.
"Mr. McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, has indicated that he wants to see the specific article of impeachment that the House is set to approve on Wednesday, which is expected to draw support from as many as a dozen Republicans, potentially including Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the party's No. 3 in the House," the report reads. "But he has made clear in private discussions that he believes now is the moment to move on the weakened lame duck, whom he blames for causing Republicans to lose the Senate."
The Republican Party can either become the Trump party moving forward or go extinct. With cowards like Lankford among the ranks, they may actually choose extinction because they're that weak.
