Theresa Greenfield Rakes In Corporate PAC Money, Spends It On Ads Denouncing Corporate PAC Money

Since launching her campaign for U.S. Senate, Theresa Greenfield has consistently railed against dark money in politics and pledged that she would never accept “a dime” in corporate PAC money. Media reports have established that Greenfield is actually raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporations by simply laundering the money through leadership PACs. The total amount now sits at more than $230,000.

Now, according to The Washington Free Beacon, Greenfield is using those corporate contributions to blanket the airwaves with campaign advertisements. The subject matter in the ads? Denouncing the influence of corporate PAC money in politics.

Washington Free Beacon: “Greenfield’s Senate campaign has received more than $230,000 from 33 leadership PACs bankrolled by corporations in her bid to unseat Sen. Joni Ernst (R.). The contributions include $33,500 in the second quarter of 2020, according to Greenfield’s latest financial disclosures. Those PACs have combined to accept more than $4 million in corporate money, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.”

Theresa Greenfield’s entire campaign is premised on a pledge that she breaks with impunity on a regular basis. The good news is that her unremitting hypocrisy on the issue of corporate PAC money provides Iowans with a preview of how she would conduct herself in office.
