GOP Uses New Loophole to Crush Democratic Party in Fundraising
Excerpt:
The largest contribution to the RNC by far was the $668,000 in donations from Hushang Ansary and his wife. Ansary was part of the Shah of Iran's inner circle and served as the Shah's ambassador to the United States before the Iranian Revolution. The Ansarys have donated $2 million to Right to Rise, the super-PAC backing Jeb Bush. Similarly, South Florida financier Bill Edwards donated $360,000 to the Bush super-PAC and $83,200 to the RNC in July.
Several major backers of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker also wrote large checks to the RNC. Ted Kellner and Jon Hammes, owners of the National Basketball Association's Milwaukee Bucks, who just got Walker's approval for $250 million in public financing for a new arena, donated a combined $200,000 to Walker's super-PAC and $150,000 to the RNC in July. Anthony Scaramucci, a New York fundraiser who has taken a lead fundraising role for Walker, donated $33,400 to the RNC's headquarters account.
