Washington State GOP Reps Spent Over $4K to Attend Mike Lindell's Election Fraud Conference [View all]
Three Republican lawmakers from Washington state spent thousands of taxpayer dollars to attend an election fraud conference hosted by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
According to The Seattle Times, the state spent a total of $4,361 for the hotel rooms and flights for three representatives to attend the Cyber Symposium in August 2021. Robert Sutherland, Vicki Kraft, and Brad Klippert requested and received these reimbursements from the state legislature. All three representatives have a history of promoting the unfounded idea that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Despite the relatively minor amount of money spent by the Legislature to send the three representatives to the conference, the fact that the trip was funded by taxpayer dollars has some activists furious. One activist is Austin Evers, who serves as the director of the election fraud-debunking nonprofit American Oversight.
"The Mike Lindell symposium was on its face a conspiracy theory designed to undermine faith in American democracy," Evers told The Seattle Times. "It should not have been funded in any way by taxpayer dollars, and no one in public office should have been attending it."
