The Federal Election Commission (FEC) fined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene $12,000 (R-Ga.) for alleged illegal PAC fundraising, according to a recently-published conciliation agreement.
The FEC said Greene violated Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA), for “soliciting non-federal” funds by reposting an advertisement she appeared in on her official Greene for Congress social media accounts. The advertisement was for political action committee (PAC) “Stop Socialism Now PAC.”
The PAC posted the advertisement on its website, YouTube and social media feeds in December 2020. The video featured Greene speaking about the 2021 Senate runoff elections in her home state, which eventually resulted in the election of Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to their current seats, according to the conciliation agreement.
Elon Musk is not what people are referring to when they say “tech bros”. It refers to basically everybody who works in the software industry. I live in Seattle, which runs on the tech industry. Many in the area like to shit on “tech bros”, and when they do so, they mean the tens of thousands of average people working in software and engineering.
