Grifting All the Way

Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ)dropped out of the 2024 election and isn’t running for office — but she’s still spending her 2024 campaign cash on personal luxury items for herself, according to a report.
Writing for NOTUS on Monday, investigative reporter Dave Levinthal sorted through filings from the former senator’s campaign to the Federal Elections Commission and found some curious charges.
In late April, the campaign paid $352 at a “naturally based wellness provider” for “shockwave therapy.” However, it wasn’t for Sinema; it was for a member of her personal security detail who continues to be paid through the campaign.
New documents also show she spent more than $71,000 on American Airlines tickets, in-cabin Wi-Fi, and access to the premium airport lounges.
Sinema also bought “concert tickets” for her security detail, totaling $4,662.33.
There was also $1,303.17 at a North Carolina gun shop for “security protective equipment.”
Then there were the ski tickets for her security detail in Aspen, over $600.
She also spent $572.67 at Three Sticks Wines in Sonoma, California. She claimed it was for “meeting expenses.”
There were also $691.70 for “event supplies” at a winery in Oregon. As well as $314.93 for “event catering” at a winery in Phoenix and $245.83 for “donor appreciation supplies” at a Bethesda, Maryland, wine shop. One “meeting meals” expense at a Phoenix wine cafe added up to $195.75.
I know some people aren’t happy with Ruben Gallego because he doesn’t walk the line on every left position. But to say the least, he is far, far, far better than what came out of that seat before.
