Democratic freshman representative Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) received a generous donation during the second quarter in the name of a man who died more than 10 years ago, a review of campaign and online records shows.
Tlaib's campaign committee, Rashida Tlaib for Congress, hauled in donations of at least $2,000 from dozens of individuals between April 1 and June 30. One of those contributions was from George S. Farah Sr., a Michigan businessman, real estate developer, and community leader who made his way from Palestine to the United States in the mid-1950s. Farah passed away on Feb. 1, 2009, from heart failure, according to a Michigan Live article published at the time of his death.
On June 22, Tlaib's campaign received a $2,500 donation in his name, Federal Election Commission filings show. A search of public records, which also state that he is deceased, provides an address identical to the one written on the contribution to Tlaib's campaign committee. Grand Blanc Township property records also show that the residence located at that address is registered in Farah's name along with that of his widow.
Tlaib is the sole federal politician to receive a donation in Farah's name for the 2020 election cycle. In the past, Rep. Dan Kildee (D., Mich.) has also received contributions from Farah following his passing. Kildee, who first ran for the House of Representatives during the 2012 election cycle, was given $1,400 in total contributions in Farah's name between 2011 and 2017. The two Democratic Michigan representatives are the only federal politicians who received money in Farah's name for the past 10 years.
Federal law prohibits making campaign contributions in the name of another individual.

If the dead can vote, then it only follows that they should also contribute to a campaign!
LOCK THEM UP. MAGA
On the way back to a free republic.
SHeesh, Chitcago is falling behind the times, not only can dead people vote but now they can make campaign contributions too?
Fothermucker Tlaib will take cash from ANYONE.
Princess Jihad sure knows how to break the rules.
Evidently, in the world according to Democrats, the only thing a deceased person cannot do is fill out a valid death certificate.
Do tell.
Isn’t this what Dinesh D’Souza went to jail for?
Oh, yeah? Prove it! Of course, he’s alive. He’s voted in every election the past 10 years.
He can’t be dead, he voted for the last 10 years.
All Democrat politicians are crooked. This one got caught. Lock her up!
The donor’s real name is probably Mr. Isla Micj Ihad, Jr.
That’s some post-dated check!
So the guy who had never donated to politicians before dying, decides from the afterlife, to donate money to Democrats. Probably decided to vote then too.
Racist to even suggest the blatant impropriety!
[Federal law prohibits making campaign contributions in the name of another individual.]
Forget it Jake. They’re Democrats.
They make sure laws don’t apply to themselves.
Just being facetious.
Heck, he already completed his 2020 absentee ballot.
He’s probably been voting Democrat, too.
