It Turns Out CDC Employees Are Bankrolling Dems
Reports from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show that employees from the Center for Disease Control prefer Democratic and even progressive-leaning candidates. Since 2005, more than 550 employees for the agency donated more than $285,000 to the Democratic Party and their candidates, the Daily Caller reported.
The number one recipient for the donations was ActBlue, the online fundraising platform the Democratic Party utilizes. Other popular candidates and committees included Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 presidential campaign and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Out of all the contributions made from CDC employees, only five were sent to a Republican Political Action Committee (PAC) or candidate. Three of the five contributions were made to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. The total of the donations made to the Trump campaign totaled a little more than $1,000.
According to the Daily Caller, campaign contributions flooded into progressive candidates in March when the World Health Organization declared the Wuhan coronavirus as a pandemic.
“…the total amount of money employees contributed to left-leaning causes by the end of the [March] was nearly three times higher than the previous five-year average,” the Caller reported. “In addition, the total amount of contributions more than doubled compared to the previous five-year monthly average.” (Read more from “It Turns Out CDC Employees Are Bankrolling Dems” HERE)
