There is only one good thing you can say about RINOs. There aren’t more of them. But there are many bad things you can say about them such as they grab Democratic money and then go along to get along.
Of the 22 RINOs who voted against Jim Jordan, 13 of them took money from the Sam Bankman-Fried FTX and could be involved in their money mule scheme. I want to now see 24 RINOs having strong primary opponents in 2024.
Jim Jordan is a grassroots favorite, yet the RINOs ignore their constituents and aid Democrats in keeping the gavel out of Jordan’s hands.
The RINOs are being led by Steve Scalise who himself benefitted from FTX money and he is out to protect his cash flow. He is also bitter that he did not get enough votes to become Speaker himself because quite frankly, Republican voters are tired of Speakers who ignore them and often work against their benefit.
????????????????????????????????????????
***TIME TO REMOVE*** @SteveScalise from being Majority Leader. He is untrustworthy…
I am hearing from very reliable sources that @SteveScaliseGOP @SteveScalise is doing his favorite thing to do – back stabbing. Not the first time either. I know what…

The Former co-CEO of FTX, Ryan Salame, pled guilty early last month to “Conspiracy to Make Unlawful Political Contributions and Defraud the Federal Election Commission and Conspiracy to Operate an Unlicensed Money Transmitting Business.”
Salame admitted that his job at FTX was to make illegal campaign contributions to Republicans that could help Bankman-Fried achieve Democratic rule in this country.
What better way than to pay off RINOs who are content with Democratic rule? Another initiative of Bankman-Fried was Steve Scalise, the man currently preventing Jim Jordan from becoming speaker.
Bankman-Fried’s straw donor and co-CEO, Salame, donated $2,900 to Scalise a month before the 2022 Midterms ($2,900 is the maximum donation allowed by an individual):
In fact, thirteen of the twenty-two holdout RINOs also accepted donations from Ryan Salame – almost all of them maximum donations.
The RINOs who accepted these funds include Kay Granger (TX-12th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Carols Gimenez (FL-28th), Jen Higgins (VA-2nd) , Marinette Miller-Meeks (IA-2nd), Mike Lawler (NY-17th), Steve Womack (AR-3rd), Mike Kelly (PA-16th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-26th), Linda Chavez-Deremer (OR-5th), Andrew Garbarino (NY 2nd), Tony Gonzales (TX-23rd), and John Rutherford (FL-5th).
Direct, illegal donations from criminals like Ryan Salame and his co-conspirators are just the tip of the iceberg. It is suspected that FTX, and entities like it, are laundering possibly billions of dollars to politicians and causes all over the country through fraudulent campaign donor mules.
As previously uncovered by The Gateway Pundit and the O’Keefe Media Group, donor mules are people whose identities are being used without their knowledge to launder large amounts of cash into campaign coffers of politicians. These fraudulent donations make it appear that these politicians have significant support from real people, when they are really being funded illegally by special interests. The donations are typically small, but frequent. The small amounts don’t arouse as much suspicion as large donations, but the total amount of cash from single individuals can add up to tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars. Follow-up investigations with the people whose identities are being stolen often reveal that they are average Americans who are really donating only small amounts to one or two candidates, but they are being credited with massive numbers of donations in the Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.

Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
