BOUGHT AND PAID FOR: The Dems Who Sold Out After Saying No | Graham Elwood

An investigative campaign finance breakdown and political commentary hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Graham examines reporting from Sludge exposing newly elected House Democrats who pledged to reject corporate PAC money during the 2018 midterms, only to accept campaign donations laundered through the New Democrat Coalition’s "NewDemPAC". Graham details how corporate conglomerates (including Goldman Sachs, Pfizer, ExxonMobil, Amazon, and Comcast) funnel millions into intermediate PACs to bankroll establishment politicians, discussing the history of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) and the urgent need for independent campaign finance reform.
