Similar Stories to Dark Money: It's Not Just For Republican Elections Anymore on Bing News

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans used to use dark money to get specific politicians get elected. But now, the right wingers use that shit for everything, from politicians to laws and now to political conventions: Records show that the nonpartisan Host Committee for the 2024 Republican National Convention raised more than $92 million to fund the massive downtown Milwaukee event at the Fiserv Forum in mid-July. But more than half of the funds were funneled through the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce's Community Support Foundation, a nonprofit affiliated with the city's conservative business lobby. In all, the MMAC foundation gave $53.8 million to the Host Committee since 2022. Officials won't disclose which companies and individuals gave money to the MMAC foundation to pass on for the convention.
