Republican Attorneys General Association accepts illegal contribution from RFK Jr's anti-vax group

[douglas9]

The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) accepted an illegal $50,000 contribution from Children's Health Defense, a leading purveyor of anti-vaccine propaganda run by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The unlawful contribution, which was received by RAGA last summer, was first disclosed in an 87-page document filed with the IRS last week.

Children's Health Defense is organized as a 501(c)(3) charity, which means that contributions to the group are tax-deductible. As such, under the law, Children's Health Defense is "absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office."

RAGA "elects and re-elects Republican attorneys general nationally." RAGA is organized as a 527 "political organization" dedicated to "influencing or attempting to influence the selection, nomination, election or appointment of an individual to a federal, state, or local public office."

Adam was an executive with RAGA and he attended the meetings at the hotel on Jan. 5, 2021.

RAGA then sent out robocalls calling the nutbar fascists to march on Jan. 6.

RAGA has been weaponized.
