vin weber former minnesota congressman chose not to run for reelection after getting caught up in the house check writing scandle to the tune of $48,000 in zingers.

here’s an excerpt from a link that will follow that shows weber to be one of the original never trumpers:

“Weber was one of the Republicans who turned against the surprise Donald Trump candidacy, telling CNBC on August 3, 2016, “I can’t imagine I’d remain a Republican if he becomes president.”[13][14][15] On August 17, 2016, the Associated Press reported that Mercury Public Affairs LLC., which Weber heads, had received $1.02 million from Paul Manafort’s European Centre for a Modern Ukraine to lobby Congress to support pro-Russia Viktor Yanukovich during the Autumn 2012 Ukrainian elections and to block the release from prison of Yanukovich’s rival, Julia Tymoshenko.[16][17][18] For his lobbying Congress on behalf of pro-Russia entities, Weber received at least $700,000.”
