Will María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez Return Chinese Foreign Agent Steve Wynn’s Money?

DOJ finds GOP mega donor Steve Wynn acted improperly as unregistered foreign agent for communist Chinese government officials

María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez made their desperation for power and campaign cash clear when they refused to give back casino mogul Steve Wynn’s campaign donations despite accusations of rape, assault, and harrassmentWill Salazar and Giménez return Steve Wynn’s campaign cash now that a DOJ report revealed Wynn worked on behalf of communist Chinese government officials?

REMINDER: Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s fundraising committee accepted more than $770,000 in campaign cash from Wynn in March 2021 for House Republicans’ joint fundraising committee. Since then, McCarthy’s committee has accepted nearly $300,000 in additional campaign donations from Wynn.

REMINDER: Wynn’s 2021 March contribution stuffed $5,800 each into Salazar’s and Giménez’s campaigns.

Where is the line? If being accused of sexual assault isn’t convincing enough for Salazar and Giménez to return campaign cash, is acting on behalf of communist China?

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre: 
“María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez must return Wynn’s already disgraced money or else explain to South Florida voters that their campaigns are bankrolled by an agent of the communist Chinese government.”
