Walker calls out GOP for 'deceptive fundraising' in Georgia race
Yahoo News ^ | November 15, 2022 | Marc Caputo

Republican politicians and associated committees are sending out desperate fundraising emails begging the GOP faithful to help save America by getting behind Herschel Walker in his Dec. 6 runoff against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in Georgia.

But what’s not immediately clear to recipients is how little of that money is going to Walker's campaign: just a dime for every dollar given by small donors.

Walker’s campaign, which has trailed Warnock’s in fundraising throughout the election, is asking fellow Republicans to stop their fundraising practices — or at least to start sharing more with the candidate.

"We need everyone focused on winning the Georgia Senate race, and deceptive fundraising tactics by teams that just won their races are siphoning money away from Georgia,” Walker campaign manager Scott Paradise said Monday.

“This is the last fight of 2022, and every dollar will help,” Paradise said. “The companies and consultants raising money off this need to cut it out.”

The campaign said it first noticed the problem Saturday when former President Donald Trump’s Save America sent out an email that asked prospective donors to “contribute ANY AMOUNT IMMEDIATELY to the Official Georgia Runoff Fundraising Goal and increase your impact by 1200%”

But if donors didn’t see a link that said “click here for details or to edit allocation,” they wouldn’t have noticed that 90% of their contributions automatically went to Trump, with the remaining 10% going to Walker.

This is why you only contribute directly to candidates you support, not some self-serving RINO “PAC.”

Why this is just enough to make you believe the Republican establishment has no interest in actually winning elections!

This happens with most races. It’s not just Trump’s group.

Republicans could have 90+ percent of both houses, ditto State legislatures and governorships and the White House and within a month they would be sending out fundraising letters talking about how tenuous their majority was.

Guys, I believe the “Save America PAC” is only owned by Donald Trump:

50:50 is still crazy. 90% to Walker or better.

The GOP has no intention of winning this race. That’s why the Republican took such a drumming this cycle because they were all anti-establishment candidates. The GOP doesn’t want their club changed by some outsiders. They don’t want disrupters in their party.

BS: Even when you go to donaldjtrump.com and click contribute, it takes you here; https://secure.winred.com/save-america-joint-fundraising-committee/early-renewal-founding-membership/

winred is the RNC. Trump has no control over winred.com and I doubt he's getting 90% of anything. RNC gets 90% is more likely.

Trust me, Donald is not partnering with the GOP on that one. Winred is the processor, but not the entity getting any other monies.

I gave to many dozens of candidates and this very PAC, so I’ve been through this. This is Trump’s own PAC, alone.

Apparently, as is becoming way too common around here, people are commenting on the headline and blaming RINO's without reading the article.

If you actually read the article, the guilty party in this instance is the Trump organization, which is siphoning off 90% of the donations people likely assume are just going to Walker.

Walker’s campaign specifically mention Trump’s Save America keeping 90% of donations give to their Georgia runoff fund.

I’m already seeing McConnell Republican Senate committee runoff ads for Walker and Trump has been infamously hoarding his PAC money which hurt us in 2022. Team Trump is grifting donors. I donated often during his presidency including right after the election loss so he could pursue cases in court.

We don’t have elections anymore. Walker is dead man walking, he just doesn’t know it yet.

I wish I were wrong, but history is shown that run-off elections seem to have only one result, as do extended vote count sessions, etc.

Our election process is dead, and both sides are in on the steal.
