Last week, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) showed why he’s a national progressive rising star.
At a hearing on overturning Citizens United, Sen. Whitehouse faced an “expert” from the right-wing Cato Institute who advocated more anonymous campaign spending by corporations and billionaires. Whitehouse took him “to the proverbial woodshed,” according to one news site.
At the hearing, the Cato “expert” said there should be no limits on campaign contributions — and only donations over $500,000 should be disclosed because the Koch brothers and other billionaires deserve their privacy!
Sen. Whitehouse showed that he isn’t afraid of a fight. He asked tough questions, made the Cato guy seem completely foolish, and received applause from the audience. Watch it happen here — and join the fight to Take Back Democracy!
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
