Trump-Backed 'America First' Senate Candidate Busted Using 'Made in China' Merch
Michael Whatley, the “America First” Republican candidate running for Senate in North Carolina, spent hundreds on campaign merchandise that was made in China.
Whatley, who has taken a tough-on-China stance throughout his political career, has been giving away campaign-branded drink koozies that were manufactured overseas, the Daily Beast has learned.
Filings from the Federal Election Commission show that Whatley’s campaign spent $1,628.84 on “ Cups, Koozies, Napkins” earlier this year.
Images of the koozies obtained by the Daily Beast show tags saying they were “Made in China.”
