DeSantis: American Elites ‘the Number One Reason' China is So Powerful Today
2021-12-23
[Breitbart] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is blasting America’s political and corporate elites as "the number one reason" China has become "as powerful as they are" as he moves to detangle the state’s finances from China-owned companies.

#9  OpenSecrets.org today reports that a dozen or so anonymous left-wing donors funneled nearly $1 billion in untraceable "dark money" to left wing groups in 2020.

Other investigators have outed Soros and Pierre Omidyar as two of eight donors who've each given $50m or more.

A billion dollars from a dozen or so oligarchs.
To rig elections.
Funneled through their opaque, 501(c)3 dark money shell organizations -- this from the shitheads who blabber about "electoral integrity" and who call us "insurrections" for noticing election fraud.
