Now you might be able to add CRIMINAL to the list.
Rashida Tlaib reportedly paid HERSELF a salary with campaign funds – after her campaign was over.
That’s against the law.
According to Daily Wire:
Controversial Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) may have taken a $17,500 payday from her own Congressional campaign, in violation of strict Federal Election Commission guidelines, and it could land the Michigan Congresswoman in hot water.
Lol. These “new Democrats” are truly unbelievable.
A report from the Washington Free Beacon, based on FEC filings from Tlaib’s campaign, shows that Tlaib took more than $17,000 in two separate disbursements from her campaign, both marked “salary” well after her campaign had concluded.
The FEC only allows candidates to draw a salary from their campaigns during the campaign itself. Winning candidates must rely either on personal savings or other means to stay afloat for the two short months between the conclusion of their campaign and their first Congressional paycheck.
Nothing to see here, folks.
“Salary payments may continue until the date when the candidate is no longer considered a candidate for office or until the date of the general election or general election runoff,” the FEC says, according to the Examiner. In Tlaib’s case, she drew $2,000 on November 16th, shortly after winning her seat, and then $15,500 in December, nearly a month after Election Day.
Tlaib also paid herself well while she campaigned, earning around $45,000 for a few months’ work — but that part isn’t illegal (though it could be concerning to some of her campaign donors). Once her campaign ended, she kept paying herself, something the FEC definitely frowns upon.
GREEEAT.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THIS YOU’RE PROBABLY JUST A RACIST.
