FEC fines Marjorie Taylor Greene $12,000 for illegal PAC fundraising
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) fined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene $12,000 (R-Ga.) for alleged illegal PAC fundraising, according to a recently-published conciliation agreement.
The FEC said Greene violated Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA), for “soliciting non-federal” funds by reposting an advertisement she appeared in on her official Greene for Congress social media accounts. The advertisement was for political action committee (PAC) “Stop Socialism Now PAC.”
The PAC posted the advertisement on its website, YouTube and social media feeds in December 2020. The video featured Greene speaking about the 2021 Senate runoff elections in her home state, which eventually resulted in the election of Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to their current seats, according to the conciliation agreement.
I would not include tech bros in that. Sure we can make a lot of money, but most tech bros are just making enough to have a mortgage on a condo in their city, or a house in the suburbs, which many other jobs can do.
I worked for a Mississippi company and made 50k out of college. I left in 2021 making $80k as a project manager and 4 years experience. Definitely nowhere near how much Magic the Gathering is making from her investment. Even now, I am making more, but $12k is still a crippling amount of money.
I'm talking people like Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg, not a project manager.
That's not who people are referring to when they say 'tech bros', however. They're referring mostly to the rank and file workers.
Exactly. I see so many stickers in Seattle of “go home tech bros” talking about people who moved there and work in tech.
