This is a violation of the Hatch Act, but I guess laws don’t apply to Republican filth or the people who prop them up.

Porter Vought benefitted tremendously from government subsidies via NIH trials.

Let me be clear. I don’t support AIPAC. Quite the opposite. But I also have major issues with Track AIPAC. It’s a shady project.
 
Track AIPAC isn’t a neutral watchdog. It’s a political operation with its own PAC and a very clear agenda.
