REVEALED: DeSantis Fundraiser’s Millions from China Tech Giant.
National Pulse ^

Posted on 06/08/2023 2:47:47 PM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Marc Lampkin, a leading fundraiser for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has benefited from millions of dollars flowing from the Chinese Communist Party’s tech giant Tencent Holdings since 2020.

Between 2020 and 2023, Brownstein Hyatt – where Lampkin is a government relations managing partner and shareholder – received a total of $2,130,000 million from the Chinese firm despite then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 executive order which attempted to ban U.S. transactions with Tencent.

DeSantis better address this. Its "not a good look", and he will get hit with it.

The desperation of you only Trumpers grows more and more laughable every day.

You’re clutching at straws here. You’re attempting to make mountains out of molehills.

What a poorly written article: “...received a total of $2,130,000 million...”

That would be $2,130,000,000,000 or 2.130 Trillion.

15 stories about this already. Guess what? Lampkin was also a HUGE Trump supporter.

These “Only Trumpers” are actually making the Never Trumpers look likeable. Nothing worse than bad religion. False worship brings out the worse in humanity. At least the Never Trumpers don’t worship anyone. I don’t think anyways.

Trying to make Ron DeSantis look like presidential material is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. 😏

I know right? Having a commanding lead against a bunch of deep state, neo-con, Bush wannabees is hard, man.

Maybe DeSantis should roll out some faked AI pictures of Trump...oh, wait.

You better hope that's fake. According to attorney Robert Barnes, the New York Times is holding on to photos with DeSantis and underage girls.

Except that wasn’t fake. Former students say DeSantis was partying with them.

DeSantis changed the Florida open records laws to shield himself. Screw him.

Former students can say what they want. The facts are DeSantis was a young 20 something year old.

No big deal.

In 2020, Brownstein accepted $330,000 to lobby for Tencent’s American subsidiary, which grew to £800,000 in both 2021 and 2022. This year, the total amount so far has been $200,000.

Tencent is the tech company responsible for WeChat, a messaging and social media app, which has been utilized by the Chinese Communist Party to suppress dissenting views and closely monitor the private conversations of Chinese citizens. Trump’s attempts to ban WeChat were dropped by President Biden.
