Embarrassingly Pathetic': Bigoted Florida Republican James Fishback Laughed Out of the Room After Failing to Raise $1,000
"Florida Politics reported on three of Fishback's big donors: Campaign Treasurer and Chief Strategy Officer Alexander Munguia got the ball rolling by contributing a whopping $50. Aaron Baker, a repeat candidate for U.S. Congress whom Fishback touted in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson as his preference over U.S. Rep. Randy Fine in Florida's 6th Congressional District, chipped in $100. Benjamin Salyers, a fireman from Palm Bay, led all donors with $500 contributed."
"Despite the lack of support for his campaign one recent survey suggested Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) boasts a 42-point lead over Fishback in the Republican primary Fishback has attracted national attention for his praise of white supremacist Nick Fuentes and racist attacks on Donalds. But on Tuesday, almost all of the discussion around Fishback revolved around his dismal fundraising report. Fishback's financial disclosure would be embarrassingly pathetic for a small city commissioner's race let alone FL Gov, observed John Cardillo."
A fundraising report covering November 24 through December 31 showed James Fishback raised only $950 in monetary contributions. Three named donors accounted for most contributions: Alexander Munguia gave $50, Aaron Baker $100, and Benjamin Salyers $500. A recent survey indicated Rep. Byron Donalds leads Fishback by 42 points in the Republican primary. Fishback has drawn attention for praise of white supremacist Nick Fuentes and racist attacks on Donalds. Social media figures labeled the campaign a grift and criticized the financial disclosure. Emma Wright, Fishback's campaign manager, attempted to contest the fundraising figure.
