I received an email yesterday from an attorney, demanding I remove Tweets in which I noted that Sherrilyn Fisher, wife of @KennethLFisher, is the largest individual donor to Republicans, $2.8 million according to @OpenSecretsDC. opensecrets.org/elections-over…

I deleted my previous Tweets to clarify Sherrilyn Fisher's $2.8 mil donation to Republicans.

"neither Ken nor Sherri Fisher has ever made any donation - whether directly or through any entity, whether of funds or anything of value - to Doug Mastriano or any campaign of his..."

Lucas Kunce is running for U.S. Senator from Missouri.

I have asked the Fishers' attorney whether any of Sherrilyn Fisher's reported $2.8 donations to Republicans went to Republicans who turned their backs on veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits.

I have asked Navy SEAL veteran @derrickvanorden, GOP candidate for Congress from #Wisconsin, and recipient of donations from Sherrilyn Fisher, for comment on Republicans in Washington blocking a bill that would aid veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. militarytimes.com/news/burn-pits…

I noticed that Sherrilyn Fisher hasn't made any federal contributions since March. I asked the Fishers' lawyer if the Fishers are concerned about reputation damage stemming from Mrs. Fisher's standing as top individual federal contributor to Republicans, 2022 election cycle?

I emailed this question to the Fishers' attorney today at the law firm where Pat Cipollone is a partner. I will report if I receive a response.
