The article says she paid herself back first for a loan she made to the campaign.
It also says the campaign asked her to do some appearances to raise money to pay the bills but she declined.
And for 5 years, she took refused to pay the final paycheck to the widow of her pollster who died during the campaign. Carly is just an awful person.
They also need to ask FioRINO why her so-called foundation donated over $400K to PP.
Yes, if she hadn’t directed the campaign to pay her loan back, she would have eventually lost the right as the FEC would have eventually reclassified the loan as candidate self-funding, which doesn’t get “paid back.”
I don’t know why she refused to make appearances on behalf of the campaign to retire the debt, but I speculate she thought it would be easier to retire the debt after running for president.
She’s made a bid splash and has quite a following. I see a little bit of the appeal. The eventual nominee could use her support, especially to counter the “war against women” meme.
For the eventual nominee, raising a half million for Carly’s old debts will be a drop in the bucket, especially if the nominee wins the general election.
