Speaker Pelosi in Ethical Hot Water? – Brit Hume, Political Grapevine, FOX News
Campaign finance experts say Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have violated federal law by appearing in a television commercial advocating a response to global warming. Cybercast News reports the ad ran nationwide between mid-April and May 6. ** The spot was planned and paid for by Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection. It may be a violation of the McCain-Feingold law that Pelosi enthusiastically supported. The law forbids candidates from appearing in ads run by an independent group and mentioning the candidate’s name within 90 days of an election. Pelosi is on the ballot in the June 3 California primary less than a month after the last ad ran. ** Pelosi’s office denied coordinating the ad with Gore’s group another possible violation. The conservative group Judicial Watch will file a complaint to the Federal Election Commission.
No shocker here…rules mean nothing to the elitist democrat leadership.
