The money trail shows Osborn steered over $350,000 from his campaign coffers to himself, his wife, his daughter, and his sister-in-law. That's nearly $400,000 in donor funds that went directly into the Osborn family bank accounts instead of actually fighting for Nebraska voters.
This is exactly the kind of swamp behavior that President Trump has been fighting against for years. While hardworking Americans scraped together their hard-earned dollars to support what they thought was a legitimate campaign, Osborn was busy running a family enrichment scheme disguised as a Senate run.
Family payoffs from campaign funds have become the Democrat playbook's go-to move. Remember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez paying her boyfriend through a PAC? Or Ilhan Omar funneling millions to her husband's consulting firm? Now we can add Dan Osborn to this rogues' gallery of campaign finance abuse.
What makes this even more outrageous is that Osborn tried to fool Nebraska voters by running as an 'independent' while maintaining deep ties to Democrat power brokers. He thought he could have it both ways—access to left-wing dark money while avoiding the Democrat brand that Nebraskans rightfully reject.
Thankfully, Nebraska voters saw through this charade and sent Osborn packing. But the fact that he felt comfortable openly looting his own campaign shows just how corrupt the Democrat political machine has become.
This is why we need fighters like President Trump who can't be bought and won't tolerate this kind of corruption. While the swamp feeds at the trough, real patriots are working to drain it once and for all.
How many more fake 'independents' are out there running family slush funds on the taxpayers' dime?
