MI-GOV: Abdul continues his daily scorched earth attacks against Whitmer.

[Ninsianna]

209. Yes, that's the lie that Abdul El Sayed and his dark money backers are

pushing.

First of all it's not legal to accept corporate donations to your campaign.

Second, they're basing this lie on the fact that HER FATHER was once at BCBS over a decade ago and that this makes his contributions to a 527 organization proof of her "accepting corporate money".

The FEC requries that all donations to a candidate include the employer and industry in which they worked. So when donations are calculated, it's reported as money from that company. Abdul accepts the same "corporate money" that Whitmer does, he's just been found funneling this through a separte PAC that bypasses campaign finance laws. Abdul is not "refusing" anything, he's happy to get all the corporate pac money airing ads that attack Whitmer and amplify HIS attack lines.

He's being dishonest and he's desperately attacking her and setting his online out of state supporters to harass her and her supporters. He made false accusations the other day and got his rear handed to him when his financial disclosures showed that he is getting PAC money and that PAC is taking in "corporate" money and also helping evade FEC regulations about maximums. Also, he's been caught doing shady things like trying to make the pac money he does get seem like it's just coming from an individual.

The level of toxicity coming from this candidate is atrocious, he's gone full racist, pointing to the make up of the ads an unrelated 527 organization ran, called her a birther when he got into trouble for not getting his voter registration straight after failing to vote in the last election (IN MICHIGAN IN 2016, which is the height of irresponsibility) and then lying about why he couldn't vote. (The place he claimed to try to vote in is not even where he's registered, and he seemed to be really clueless about how this whole voting things happens).

He's even worse than the fake progressive who taped Bernie's platform and slogans onto his when he decided to run as a Dem (presumably due to his accent and foreignness, he thought he would not get far in the GOP).
