Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has exposed the ActBlue fundraising operation and said that it was a money laundering scheme for the Democrat Party.
He spoke to podcast host Charlie Kirk about it when he appeared on his show.
“On the back of everyone’s credit card, there’s a code called the CVV code. It allows you to track the account and its location. We use it, WinRed uses it, and everyone else does too. However, you can donate thousands of dollars to ActBlue without your CVV code. I want to pass a law that requires all online donations using credit cards to include a CVV code to ensure the person is actually in the United States and eligible to contribute. Otherwise, you could have credit cards in China basically putting millions of dollars in small donations into American political campaigns,” the senator said.
“ActBlue has become a money-laundering operation because they don’t take the CVV. It’s a deliberate strategy on their part. We should have a law that closes that loophole. I’ve been trying to get it passed, and as you can imagine, the Democrats oppose it because ActBlue opposes it. If they had to use the CVV code, their donations would likely decrease significantly,” he said.
Earlier in the interview he said that Kamala Harris would be a “disaster” for the United State and said that anyone that former President Donald Trump picked for vice president would have faced the same attacks as Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
“Here’s the truth: go back and read the New York Times article by Jonathan Martin and another reporter. It talked about how Biden appointed an independent committee to help him pick a VP. Kamala Harris was neither the candidate who most impressed them nor the person the advisors thought was prepared to be president. She was a disaster in the Senate with huge levels of internal staff turnover and had a disastrous trip to Central America,” the senator said.
“These are facts laid out in her career. She ran for president, and her campaign was a disaster; she didn’t even make it to December. When she got the vice presidency, she wasn’t the most qualified person. I’m not saying that; the Biden people said that. She was a disaster there as well. They don’t want to talk about all this, so she’s going to get this honeymoon period where the media builds her up,” he said.
“But after Labor Day, after their convention, it’s going to come down to something very simple. Everything Joe Biden has done that’s damaged this country, Kamala Harris was there for and supported. Joe Biden’s career, for the most part, was that of a 20th-century Democrat. She and the far-left liberals sort of rented Joe Biden, putting up with him because his lack of mental acuity allowed him to get away with things. Kamala Harris, however, is a real deal left-wing Democrat who supported some of the most radical policies imaginable, as recently as 2020 when she ran for president. She should be held accountable for that, and we should focus on that. Eventually, the media will have to address it, but first, they’re going to smear J.D. Vance as they would have smeared anyone else Trump picked,” he said.
