Raphael Warnock’s Campaign Finance Hypocrisy Exposed

“I’ve made the decision to reject corporate PAC money, so I’m fully relying on grassroots folks like you to power our reelection campaign to victory,” Raphael Warnock touted in a campaign fundraising email last week.

Warnock has repeatedly used his pledge to reject corporate PAC money as a fundraising ploy. However, a closer look at his Federal Election Commission records show he’s taken tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from PACs funded by corporations this election cycle.

Daily Caller: “Warnock’s campaign took $29,600 during the first and second quarters of 2022 from Democratic leadership PACs that have in turn accepted $1.6 million from corporate-backed PACs since 2003, according to Federal Election Commission records (FEC) reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.”

Daily Caller: “Ameripac, which is tied to Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, gave $5,000 to Warnock’s campaign in June, filings show. The leadership PAC has gotten $373,000 since 2003 from PACs for Google, CVS, Lockheed Martin, General Electric and Pfizer.

“Green Mountain PAC, which is the leadership PAC for Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, donated $2,500 to the senator’s campaign in March, filings show. Leahy’s PAC has received $489,250 since 2005 from PACs for General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, AT&T, Microsoft, Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, Google, Comcast and Pfizer, records show.”

Daily Caller: “It is also not merely PACs funded by corporations that have bolstered Warnock. The senator’s campaign earned $8,400 during quarters one and two of 2022 from corporate lobbyists, including those working for Amazon, AT&T, Pfizer, CVS and the Carlyle Group, according to FEC records and data provided by OpenSecrets.”

Bottom line: Raphael Warnock is another hypocritical politician who will talk out of both sides of his mouth to win reelection and stay in power.
