The man Donald Trump just hired to be his new finance chair has been a huge contributor to Democrats, giving more than TWO TIMES as much to Democrats as Republicans. Of course he’s also help elect both Obama and Hillary by donating to them in 2008.
But saving the best for last, he also used to work for George Soros!
Boy Trump sure knows how to pick’em:
BUZZFEED – Donald Trump has hired a Wall Street tycoon who has donated more than twice as much to Democrats as to Republicans to be his campaign’s finance chairman, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings.
Trump’s campaign announced Thursday that Steve Mnuchin, co-founder of Dune Capital Management and OneWest Bank Group LLC, would serve as the presumptive Republican nominee’s national finance chair.
Although Mnuchin has given to Republicans, his financial ties to the Democratic Party and liberal causes appear to be significantly deeper. Overall, Mnuchin has given more than $125,000 since 1998 to candidates and committees that disclose their donors — more than half of which went to Democrats, according to FEC records.
He contributed to Democrats Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, and Chris Dodd in the 2008 presidential election cycle. He also gave to Obama and Clinton’s Senate campaigns, and supported Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.Overall, Mnuchin has given more than $125,000 since 1998 to federal candidates and committees that disclose their donors, according to a review of Federal Election Commission reports.
Beyond his contributions, Mnuchin’s past employers don’t fall in line with Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail. Mnuchin is a former Goldman Sachs partner and worked for liberal mega-donor George Soros’s hedge fund.
But nevermind this. Mike Huckabee is outraged that you might not vote for Trump!
