Progressive firebrand Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) is in hot water with the Federal Election Commission for violating campaign finance laws during her 2020 campaign.
Waters’s campaign agreed to pay a $68,000 fine on Friday after the FEC determined the California Democrat knowingly accepted $19,000 in excessive contributions during her 2020 campaign, the FEC said in a conciliation agreement. Waters also made $7,000 in "prohibited cash disbursements" that election cycle to reimburse "Get Out The Vote" canvassers in violation of FEC regulations that prohibit campaigns from making any cash payments over $100. The Waters campaign said it issued the cash payments because the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for her canvassers to process checks.
"Progressive firebrand?"
More like delusional senior citizen.
