Media Gateway Pundit reported Jan. 30 that black U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) is in the news again. This Time it’s not what she said, but what she did. The loud, loudmouth congresswoman, who paid her daughter from a campaign contribution, let the press know.
The Washington Free Beacon (freebeacon.com) reports that California’s U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, paid her daughter $1.13 million after the 2020 election, all in the name of campaign expenses.
Rep. Waters’ daughter, Karen Waters, has provided a range of services to her mother’s campaign since 2003, mainly mass mailings for various politicians’ campaigns. California politicians have also contributed to Rep. Waters’ campaign in exchange for her endorsement of promotional mailings.
Over the years, mass mailings have become increasingly lucrative for Waters, who collected $240,000 in the 2020 election, much more than the $90,000 her own company, Progressive Connections, received in the 2006 election cycle. The Federal Election Commission The Federal Election Commission licensed Waters Jr. to send mass mailings in 2004.
Mass mailings are common in California and Oregon, but are extremely rare at the federal level. In fact, Rep. Waters appears to be the only federal politician to use mass emails. This arrangement between her and her daughter has led to complaints from watchdog groups asking the Federal Election Commission to audit Waters’ campaign.
Not only is Waters (R-CA) known for her corrupt behavior, but she is also known for her loud mouth, so how bad is her rhetoric? If anyone were to take Waters’ comments about the Republican Party and turn them around on the Democrats, the Democrats would be up in arms.
According to The Pundit, Democrats like Waters are the poster child for political corruption.
The Washington Free Beacon website says that many prominent politicians in California pay to use propaganda mailings. Vice President Kamala Harris (D) twice shelled out tens of thousands of dollars from her campaign for a seat at the table on mailer campaigns. California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and former Senate Democrat Barbara Boxer (D) have both paid for the services of Waters Jr.
However, the practice has been criticized by the local media, with Call the Heavy (CalMatters), a media outlet dedicated to explaining California politics and policy, writing last year that “while some of these mail campaigns reflect some genuine political values, many are paid to do so. The end result is a blurred line between political endorsement, paid advertising and extortion. “
