In a Freedom Center Investigates report back in September, I wrote about Kamala’s history of wasteful spending and luxurious living.
“Kamala demands a life of luxury,” a former aide revealed. “She treats the campaign like a personal checking account to fund a lifestyle she aspires to,” another aide warned.
“Staff has always worried about Kamala’s spending, but she is adamant about using campaign money as she wants,” that aide on her former Senate campaign said.
The National Journal ran a story describing Kamala’s habit of staying at luxury hotels. The campaign spent $1,886 to put Kamala up for the night in D.C.’s St. Regis hotel as part of a string of stays at out-of-state luxury hotels in Houston, Chicago and D.C. for a state race.
Tens of thousands of dollars were being spent on “luxury car services” like a private car service in Martha’s Vineyard, and first class airline tickets.
This time around it was private jets and celebrities. As the cash flow increased, so did the spending.
There’s an incredible line from the New York Times report on Kamala’s campaign spending.
“There is not a single expenditure in a different spot that would have changed the outcome of the race,” said Bakari Sellers, a close ally of Ms. Harris and a former lawmaker in South Carolina. In fact, Mr. Sellers said, the campaign faced an unusual problem: “We had so much money it was hard to get it out the door.”
What a problem to have.
The Biden-Harris campaign (never has that hyphen been as relevant) raised $2.15 billion.
Kamala was blowing through $100 million a week. Where did that money go? The answer in a lot of organizations tends to be ‘consultants’, people put on staff because they’re somebody’s pals or politically connected.
Some media allies of Ms. Harris were also paid. Areva Martin, who hosts a talk show, was paid $200,000 as a media consultant, and she went on a battleground-state tour in October.
Roland Martin, who hosts his own streaming programming and runs a media company called Nu Vision Media, received $350,000 in September for a “media buy” that he said was for advertising.
“It should have been a hell of a lot more,” Mr. Martin said in a brief interview. “More should have been spent on Black-owned media.” Mr. Martin interviewed Ms. Harris in October.
Ms. Harris’s campaign also made two $250,000 donations to National Action Network, the organization led by the Rev. Al Sharpton. Mr. Sharpton interviewed Ms. Harris on MSNBC in October.
That’s chump change when you’re spending $100 million a week, but that is also how you end up spending $100 million a week. A lot of ads. A lot of people making money from buying ads. And from everything else.
The good news is they did manage to get all that money out the door. And now they need more.
“A fool and her money …”
Is this the Democrats’ version of “trickle down” wealth? A bunch of rich folks give big bucks for a campaign, which goes to already rich media types and wanna’ get rich grifters, who pass some of it to middle class staffers, and some working stiffs who may or may not get paid when the money runs out.
My guess would be some of that money didn’t quite make it out the door, if you catch my drift (-cough-Tony West-cough).
I reckon at least $1 billion out of the $2.15 slid quietly into an offshore account, though she must have had to pay soon to be ex husband Emhoff a goodly sum to act as her adoring other half….Her rallies looked like they were created by a bunch of 6 year olds for a school art lesson.
corrupt quid-pro-Joe TaliBriben sent our tax dollars to Ukraine and other places as treasonous money laundering schemes for him and others –
the witch whore of Babylon Cackling Kamalalala is too stupid for this and lives like she is a queen on the tax payers money as well as donations – can you image if this skank ho heels up Cackling Kamalalala was elected – we all dodged a bullet 7-13-2024 and 11-5-2024 – what might have been was not and we narrowly escaped complete control and destruction
But woe to California if this witch whore of Babylon Cackling Kamalalala runs for governor and the ding bat dumbell KaleeFornicatians elect her – Californians must love S&M because they keep voting for peoiple who will punish them and take all their hard earned incomes!!!
BTW —- no one got paid to stump for President Trump – they all did it to Make America Great Again so they and we can live the life our precious Constitution promises!!!!
All that lucre was simply burning a hole in her purse. She simply couldn’t wait to spend it to live a temporary life of luxury. Let’s see how she copes now that the well has run dry.
The Demo-Rats are always claiming they want t o help the Poor then they slap a stupid Tax on everything the Poor want to Buy and making it too expensive for them to buy
Wasn’t there a movie “back in the day” about being tasked with the impossibility of wasting a million dollars with nothing to show for it? Kudos to Harris for pulling it off.
1985’s “Brewster’s Millions,” with Richard Pryor.
All that money and all the favorable media and she still could not overcome….. herself. She literally had nothing to offer
A reporter should ask those who gave to Kamala if they agreed with her spending their donations on items as she did. I doubt they would like to hear where their money may have gone and on what,
One must admit, the Vice President did excel in VICE.
I would have sympathy with small donors if there was any reason to believe they were capable of learning from this.
That has to be an AI rendering of the harridan cow.. No way she is that OK looking
I agree, that is some sort of AI morph with her and that other annoying lefty skank Alyssa Milano.
It’s nice that $ billions and favorable press coverage alone couldn’t buy the WH.
