Anyone need $100?
A new embarrassing report for Susan Wild shows her allies paid $100 to union members to attend her rallies.
“$100 goes a long way in the failed Harris/Wild economy. It makes you wonder why extreme Democrat Susan Wild’s allies have to pay her so-called supporters just to hold a sign for her photo op.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
