Amid a wellspring of discontent over Fetterman’s coziness with Israel and Republicans, people are demanding campaign donation refunds.

Close to 100 people have requested their money back from the campaign of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa.

Refund requests can be routine part of campaigns, either because donors decide for some reason that they want a refund or they accidentally donated over the legal limit for contributions.

The Fetterman campaign has issued more than 1,700 refund requests since 2021 from more than 1,000 donors, totaling more than $780,800, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. That includes more than 200 refunds last cycle. At least seven political action committees also received refunds. (Fetterman’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)

    To be fair, they knew about the brain damage before the general election. He’s not great, but he is surely better than “Dr” Oz. Cut the loss and get rid of him next election.

      To be more fair, they had no way of knowing how much it would change him and/or how much of a raging hatebeast he secretly was already.

      That bar is so low that you’d need specialized drilling equipment to reach it.

      Yeah, because nobody is hurting for money right now and defrauding donors is a-ok! 🙄
