Republicans who backed Trump impeachment see fundraising boost
By Julia Manchester - 04/17/21 01:00 PM EDT


The majority of House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump in January saw fundraising gains in the first three months of the year despite intense backlash from members of their own party, according to new financial disclosures.

Most of the Republicans who publicly went against Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol saw their 2021 first quarter hauls increase from their 2019 hauls during the same period. Two of Trump’s most high-profile critics in the House received a major financial boost in particular: House GOP Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.) raised $1.5 million at the start of 2021 compared to $321,000 during the same period in 2019, while Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) brought in $1.2 million during the first three months of the year compared to $326,000 in 2019.

The fundraising hauls come amid a growing divide within the party, as Trump and his allies threaten to support primary challengers against those who voted to impeach him — some of whom are also raking in money.

Or Rino donors just wait until impending election time to donate. Not sure you can read anything in this.

Not one dime is from the 75+ million voter base.

Count on it.

Zuckerberg has his checkbook out again.

Btw it’s easy to tell which publication this report came from without looking at the link. The shill is a broken record.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Wyoming is going to elect a GOP Rep, and Utah is going to elect a GOP Senator.  Knowing that, it makes sense that Democrats would donate to ensure those two GOP legislators are ones that they can count on to vote their way.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Yep.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
