        I get it that this is about the optics of not taking ‘dirty money’… but the reality is that this just hurts Fetterman’s campaign while giving Menendez back $5k.

        I hope some day I mess up so badly that people I’ve given money to decide to return it to me…

        Do you hear that Nelnet?!? I’m as crooked as they come!

          Spending 5K on advertising would get 1/100th of the visibility of “spending” 5K by sending it back to Menedez. The only downside is Menendez gets the 5K and if it was 5K of glued together pennies he effectively wouldn’t even be getting that.
