“Fined $116,000?”
Precisely. I’m not sure the headline writer actually read the article. And not only is a $5k fine no deterrent, but groups taking federal $$$ should not even be allowed to donate.
A good equivalent would be;
Gov’t gives millions to NRA to help “Keep the Constituional right to keep and bear arms.”
Because it’s a right... um like abortion.
Then the NRA gave thousands to candidates that were happy to give MORE money to the NRA.
Do you suppose any news orgs would sleep on that story?
