    But then the pivot: “Or no, let’s say, they didn’t say that I spent the funds on strippers,” White clarified. “They sell food at a strip club, don’t they”

    Riiiight. And I suppose he has a playboy subscription for the articles….

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A former NBA player running for Senate with the support of Minnesota’s statewide Republican Party attacked the media in an interview as a reporter pressed him to answer why his Federal Election Commission (FEC) indicated that his 2022 campaign spent money at a strip club.

    But of particular interest was more than $1,000 spent in a single night at Gold Rush Cabaret, which describes itself as a “fully-nude strip club” on its website.

    White initially responded that the FEC filing was an error, but pivoted quickly to claiming instead that his staffers — not him — had visited the nightclub with the sole purpose of buying food.

    A quick visit to the Gold Rush Cabaret’s website reveals that the establishment’s food offerings are quite inexpensive: the priciest item is an appetizer sampler including empanadas, wings, mozzarella sticks, and a veggie quesadilla for $25.

    Other spending from the White campaign highlighted by the group included a trip to a water park, dues at a fitness center, and large disbursements to itself through cash, wire transfers and personal checks.

    Endorsed by both Steve Bannon and in May by the Minnesota’s state GOP, White remains well-positioned to become the party’s nominee to take on Amy Klobuchar, a popular incumbent senator, in November.
