Right-Wing Groups Took Millions in COVID Aid and Spent It Lobbying Against Aid
Conservative groups whose board members have taken in tens of millions in coronavirus relief from Congress have spent millions to lobby lawmakers to cut aid for unemployed workers.
[FreedomWorks “made its name opposing bailouts,” The New York Times reported, “but in this case [is] willing to take one.”]
[Meanwhile, Heritage Foundation trustee William Walton, the owner of Rappahannock Media, received up to $350,000 in PPP funding. It was a curious move for the former Trump transition “landing team” member, who was described by a former colleague as so “libertarian” he “doesn’t believe in government at all.”]
[“If these groups are concerned the government is spending too much during this historic crisis,” he said, “they are welcome to return their taxpayer-funded bailouts.”]
Not a chance.
