Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s PAC
has ‘all but officially gone bust’
A political action committee launched last year by MAGA Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene received only one contribution in the last quarter
of 2021 — from Gaetz himself.
The Daily Beast reported Tuesday that Gaetz and Green's PAC, called "Put America First," has "all but officially gone bust."
"The two right-wing bomb-throwers never really
made money from the jump. Everything they took in went right back out the door. But their final quarter
in 2021 was notably bad."
The PAC's only contribution in the last three months — a $18,922 transfer from Gaetz’s campaign — "appears to have been necessary to pay off the
PAC’s final outstanding obligations, that the PAC
"has no money left."
After creating the PAC, Gaetz and Greene launched
an "America First" tour, but multiple venues canceled their rallies last summer, prompting the two lawmakers to stage a protest in California.
Gaetz has also been struggling to raise money for
his own campaign due to the ongoing federal investigation into whether he sex-trafficked a minor, the Daily Beast reported.
"After two breakneck fundraising quarters to kick off 2021, his campaign committee, Friends of Matt Gaetz, ended with a $94,838.65 loss on the year," the site reported.
