De Blasio Hired His Son For Failed Presidential Campaign
Hot Air ^ | October 16, 2019 | JAZZ SHAW

Posted on 10/16/2019 1:09:01 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Dante de Blasio, the mayor’s son who graduated from Yale University in May, earned $650 a week from Aug. 1 through Sept. 16 as a policy analyst for his father’s presidential campaign, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures filed late Tuesday.

His salary was just $175 a week less than the campaign’s South Carolina political director, Breanna Spaulding.

Dante’s Yale pal, Ashtan Towles, also worked for the campaign at the same time as the mayor’s son, earning an equivalent salary. Most of the campaign’s $1 million in expenses from July through September were related to the mayor’s travel to early-primary states.

I’m not sure how much of a bombshell this actually is. Sure, it’s technically nepotism, but it wasn’t for a government job. It was just a campaign staff position. And while I’m sure there were tons of more qualified and experienced candidates available, Dante did at least graduate from Yale so it’s not as if he might not have had the chops for the job. (And frankly, de Blasio was never within smelling distance of the nomination so did it really matter?)

Campaigns and book deals are both money laundering scams,ponzi schemes and outright theft right in front of our eyes. It’s disgusting.

$338,000.00 for a “no-show job”, is nothing to sneeze at.

RE: Maxine Waters paying $250,000 to daughter to mail out flyers...

Daughter: "And Mama, I earned that f---'in cash. Them air force pilots had to get into great big envelopes. FedEx billed me a fortune."

Maxine: "Lordy, that Biden has it so good with that fool Hunter. At least he knows how to work a good scam for money. Where did I go wrong?"
