Jasmine Crockett, a Democratic congresswoman, is under scrutiny for accepting nearly $400,000 from Political Action Committees (PACs), contrary to her previous declaration of taking 'zero dollars' from them. This contradiction, highlighted through campaign finance disclosures, raises questions about her integrity. She has accepted contributions from various donors, including notable corporations. Experts indicate that such PAC contributions can be perceived negatively by the electorate, suggesting that candidates, especially Democrats, are wary due to public sentiment surrounding political donations and their implications on trust and accountability.
Democratic firebrand Jasmine Crockett took almost $400,000 from Political Action Committees, despite claiming otherwise, documents seen by The Post reveal.
Prof. Matthew Foster, a lecturer on government at American University, told The Post: 'What's controversial about [PACs] is people fundamentally see it as an issue of buying one's support.'
