Pete Buttigieg campaign refunds donations from Brett Kavanaugh lawyers

Pete Buttigieg’s high-flying presidential campaign said Wednesday it would refund the donations it received from two lawyers who represented Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his contentious Senate confirmation hearings.

His campaign made the move after reporters from Britain’s The Guardian raised questions about the contributions from attorneys Alexandra Walsh and Beth Wilkinson, who are law partners.

The two donated a combined $10,000 from the pair, $3,150 of which had already been returned because it exceeded contribution limits.

“With nearly 700,000 donors, a contribution we would otherwise refuse sometimes gets through,” the campaign told the publication in a statement. “We believe the women who have courageously spoken out about Brett Kavanaugh’s assault and misconduct, and we thank the Guardian for bringing this contribution to our attention.”

“[Kavanaugh] should have never been put on the supreme court and this campaign will not accept donations from those who played a role in making that happen,” the spokesperson added. “Accordingly, we will be returning this contribution and others from this firm.”

It makes me nervous that these two liberal Democrat women lawyers worked for and represented Justice Kavanaugh.

First time I heard of THIS.

Thanks, I was wondering why they donated the same amount to Buttplug.

Imagine having so much money (or stupidity) you would give $10,000 to a homosexual candidate running 4th in polls, and not miss it.

Didn’t really do much for him during the hearings, did it?

Why did they give more than campaign limits allow to Buttigieg at all? Both of them should know they are not welcome in Democratic circles right now.

That's because ANYONE who questioned the idea that Gorsuch and/or Kavanaugh were anything less than Scalia 2.0 were immediately shouted down on FR and told over and over again that their "judicial philosophy" is ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST! ORIGINALIST!

...and that's ALL that mattered.

Their personal beliefs, backgrounds, associations, statements, etc., supposedly weren't worth a warm bucket of spit, as long as their "judicial philosophy" was supposely "originalist"

Somehow it magically meant Trump "kept his campaign pledge to give us a staunch pro-life, solidly conservative judge in the Scalia mold", simply because THEY said he was.

Good luck with that one.
