Pete Buttigiegs 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 Britains 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 Kavanaughs 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.

Beth Wilkinson and Alexandra Walsh.
Virtue signaling convinces the left of its own unimpeachable morals. When push comes to shove, it rejects guilt for any of its wrongdoing and attributes such allegations to conspiracy theories.
Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, tweeted on Monday that Ford will be "attacked, smeared, and demonized" and that people must "BELIEVE WOMEN."
Do they munch (each other’s) rugs ?

So..a couple carpet munchers?
Beth Wilkinson
She married David Gregory, the former moderator of NBC News’ Meet the Press in June 2000.[18][19] They have three children.[
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.
re: “It makes me nervous that these two liberal Democrat women lawyers worked for and represented Justice Kavanaugh.”
Didn’t really do much for him during the hearings, did it?
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.
So much for everyone’s Constitutional right to counsel...
Fudgepackin Pete always turns tail and runs.
Pete is probably into anus sunning as well
Just when you think Democrats couldn’t get more STUPID.....they do.
