Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., received a $2,500 donation from a man who died more than a decade ago, public records show.

Michigan businessman and real estate developer George S. Farah Sr., who emigrated from Palestine to the United States in the mid-1950s, donated $2,500 toward Tlaib’s election, according to campaign filings. Farah died Feb. 1, 2009, according to Michigan Live.

dailycallerlogo “Gisele Farah is the sole beneficiary of a trust in her late husband’s name, George S. Farah Sr.,” Tlaib’s office said in a statement to the The Washington Free Beacon, which first reported the contribution to the Democrat from the dead man.

The lawmaker’s office added:

As the sole beneficiary in control of the trust, [Farah] contributed to our campaign with funds from her trust. We will amend our campaign records and filings to clarify that the campaign contribution was from Gisele Farah and should be designated under her name.

The address listed with the campaign contributions is the same as one appearing with Farah’s name in public records, along with that of his widow.

DAMN, she’s good. Enticing donations from a supporter dead for a decade has to be nearly the ultimate in fundraising.

Was the transaction worked out in a seance? Inquiring minds want to know.

And no one will go to jail or be punished in any way. We have a two tier justice system, one for our masters and quite a different one for we little people.

Not her only dead donor I am sure.

And she’s not the only democrat with dead donors lined up.

When you're really devoted to a cause, why let a little thing like DEATH stop you?

He didn’t immigrate from Palestine. There has never been a country called ‘Palestine’.

There was Mandatory Palestine, but that entity ceased to exist in 1948.

It wasn’t a country. It was the British Mandate from the League of Nations in 1923 that expired in May of 1948. The British took the name Palestine from the Roman Province of Syriana Palestina. The Roman Emperor Hadrian combined the Judean Province with the Syrian Province in 134 a.d., after he crushed the Bar Kochba Rebellion in order to erase the name of Israel and Judea. He certainly accomplished that until 1948. The ‘Palestinian Authority’ was created in 1994 by the Oslo Accords, in order to satify the UN’s grand scheme of a “Two State” solution. Their champion Yasser Arafat was not a natural Palestinian at all, but an Egyptian immigrant. There has never been a recognized nation of Palestine, and I don’t believe there ever will be. (At least that is what I pray.)
