Jeff Bezos, Bloomberg & Epstein linked Lex Wexner " With Honor Fund " who did it fund in 2018 & 2020 House Races?
The " With Honor Fund " is a Super Pac originally funded by Jeff Bezos, Mike Bloomberg and Lex Wexner and other wealthy billionaires. They were extremely active in 2018 backing a mix of Democratic and Republican House candidates.
A curious Super Pac indeed. In many instances they fund directly AGAINST certain candidates in a race. Without supporting any candidate in that race. They have a fondness for funding candidates that have a military background. Most, if not all candidates, are centre right or centre left.
Progressives or Trumplicans need not apply!
The 2020 funding of this Super Pac does not have the same direct finger-print back to Bezos, Bloomberg and Wexner as it did in 2018. That is probably no surprise given the toxicity of the Jeffrey Epstein connection that Wexner enjoyed for many years.
High profile 2018 candidate Texas Republican, Dan Crenshaw, received over $800,000 from the group in that cycle but curiously doesn't look to have accepted it in 2020.
