Day 23: Lying Londrigan keeps lying

When asked directly in an interview with Illinois Newsroom, Betsy Dirksen Londrigan lied AGAIN about being a corporate money hypocrite.

And while she refused to say if she’ll return the dirty corporate cash from Mike Madigan’s cronies, she did defend their right to individually donate to her campaign.

Yikes!

Listen HERE.

Interviewer:Does it make a difference if you’re accepting campaign money from individuals who are tied to those same organizations, those same political action committees, as compared to taking it from the PAC itself?

Betsy:Look I mean, you know, individuals earn salaries like other individuals. And they can donate their personal dollars to whomever they individually choose to support.

In case you missed it…

“Dirksen Londrigan’s campaign… has not answered for the remaining $8,800 in campaign contributions from former ComEd lobbyists linked to the corruption probe.”

“Dirksen Londrigan’s campaign spokesman… did not answer questions asking whether or not she planned to wash her hands of the contributions from former ComEd lobbyists linked to the ongoing corruption investigation.”

“Londrigan’s campaign declined to comment on how she would handle any real or perceived conflicts of interest that could arise in Congress if she is ever in a position to vote on matters that pertain to her husband’s lobbying portfolio.”
