Fed-up Americans begin to defund Democrats
July 8, 2020 | Vivek Saxena
During the second quarter of 2020, the fundraising arm of the Republican Party pulled in double the amount raised by the Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee, though to hear the DLCC tell it, its meager fundraising was “record-breaking.â€
“The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee and affiliated organizations announced $30 million raised for this cycle at the end of this quarter, already three times the amount raised in the entirety of the last redistricting cycle,†the committee announced in a press release Tuesday.
“In the second quarter of this year, the DLCC shattered its previous second-quarter fundraising record by raising over $5.8 million, nearly $2 million more than it raised in the same quarter in 2018. This comes after the DLCC reported the best first-quarter fundraising in its history.â€
While those numbers may sound nice when viewed alone, a comparison with the Republican Party’s fundraising accomplishments proves otherwise.
In a press release published on July 1st, the Republican State Leadership Committee announced it’d raised $10.5 million in the second quarter, reportedly bringing its total for this cycle to $35 million.
Why this discrepancy? In a statement to Breitbart, RSLC national press secretary Lenze Morris attributed it to the Democrat Party’s growing radicalism.
