Oh give me a break. I just spent the morning crawling through your campaign finance filings for the first 9 months of this cycle and you’re just as a shady, corrupt and scandalous as every Democrat lawmaker in your state. Let me ask you something Tom, why do you need *three* separate Joint Fundraising Committees? And how is it even physically possible that you spent $6,756,812 across all your committees in just the first 9 months of this year? That’s over $25,000 per day. You have exactly one challenger who has raised a measly $64,619 and only spent $7,749 of that. You spent twice that much on promotional “vests.” Supposedly. You spent $3,000 on just 4 trips to the Kwik Trip. Again, how is that possible? Did you fill up every car there? Or did you get hundreds of dollars in cash back option and just lie about it? Why did you categorize your $57,000 in payments to Adam Kidan (Jack Abramoff’s partner in crime) as “in-kind contributions”? Were you donating to help him pay the $21 million in restitution he still owes to the government? What kind of “fundraising services” did Targeted Victory perform for you that cost $2.33 million when you still had to pay millions in consulting fees and direct mail expenses? You taking lessons from Kevin McCarthy on how to evade filing transparency by having a 3rd party pay for your extravagant hotels and restaurants and then just bill you each month with a catchall summary like “fundraising services”? The entire state of Minnesota would do well to throw every single elected politician in office out on their asses- starting with you.
