When a candidate claims they are all about grassroots and then you look at their chart, seeing his in-laws (billionaires) gave $500k.
You dig just a little and see 39 different donors from ET / Wilks World (candidates, donors, business partners) & their families, 53 members of the Wilks family and their relatives, and 51 people who are employees of the Wilks companies and their families. It all makes you go 🤔.
You remember on New Years Eve, Jonathan Stickland posted in the Texans for Vaccine Choice FB page, asking people to give $5 and $10 dollar donations, just to try and push up the donor count so it looks like this guy is actually supported broadly,...
...even though we all know it’s his in-laws funding the whole thing, and if you can have your spouse give too that’s even better. They did. Husband, wife, maybe even kids too. I’m not even joking. It’s all here. Every bit of it.
Jonathan Stickland said "they [the Wilks] will without a doubt be accused of buying a seat". Yes. Absolutely. Because that's exactly what they are trying to do.
