South Carolina Dem James Clyburn funneled six figures from campaign funds to family last cycle, filings show

South Carolina Democratic Rep. James Clyburn funneled six figures worth of campaign cash to two of his family members throughout the 2022 election cycle, filings show.

The longtime congressman's campaign largesse included forking tens of thousands of dollars over to a company linked to his son-in-law. He also sent nearly $100,000 to his grandson, Federal Election Commission records show.

While it's legal for federal politicians to pay family members from their campaigns, ethics experts have generally disapproved of the practice. Despite this, both political parties have taken advantage of the perk.

Clyburn's family payments the last election cycle include $57,500 to 49 Magnolia Blossom LLC for rent expenses, filings show. That company has close ties to his daughter, Jennifer Clyburn Reed.

According to South Carolina business records, Clyburn Reed's husband, Walter A Reed, is the registered agent of the limited liability company.

Clyburn also paid out $94,000 to his grandson Walter A.C. Reed during the midterm election cycle for "campaign management fees," his filings further show.

Hey Biden gave Hunter millions so now it’s his family’s turn. That’s what crime families do.

He was instrumental in facilitating the J6 “production”.

He also caused resident Huggies to attain the pResidency by endorsing Bidet, thereby giving clearance for blacks to vote fot him.

James Clyburn learned how to play the game, and in his own way, manages to emulate his old “bestie buddy” Joe Biden and the “success” the Biden Family syndicate enjoys.

Grifters need love too. They just don’t deserve it, is all.

Isn’t this one of the major reasons most (maybe all) politicians run for office in the first place? In order to grow wealthy.
