and illegal' campaign spendingRepublican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is facing accusations of "unethical and illegal" campaign spending and "self-serving and shady practices," according to 2 new ethics complaints filed by the progressive watchdog group End Citizens United last week.
The group filed a complaint with both the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Congressional Ethics, both of which focus on a recent ad in which the congresswoman urges supporters to call their members of congress and ask them to oppose the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that passed the Senate by a sweeping, 69-vote bipartisan margin last month.
"Nineteen cowardly Senate Republicans joined Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats to pass the so-called infrastructure bill that's really the first step in Biden's communization of America," says Greene in the ad. "It's time for Republicans to stay united, stand strong, and vote no."

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is facing accusations of "unethical and illegal" campaign spending and "self-serving and shady practices," according to 2 new ethics complaints filed by the progressive watchdog group End Citizens United last week.

The group's FEC complaint alleges that Greene's "Save America Stop Socialism" leadership PAC made an unreported "in-kind contribution" to her own campaign by running a nearly identical version of the ad on One America News Network, and that the contribution well exceeded the $5000 limit legally permitted.
