“He did not do $300,000 worth of anything in three years,” exclaims Pam Fridrich, wife to Heinz Fridrich, when presented with Federal Election Commission data by an OMG Citizen Journalist in Fernandina Beach, Florida, claiming the Fridrichs donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to ActBlue. When asked if they had made the contributions, Pam responds, “Not to my knowledge.” The Fridrich family, overwhelmed by the allegations, remains perplexed by how such large sums could be attributed to them.
Across the country, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Elaina Bulow, a devout Democrat, is reportedly linked to around 830 donations totaling roughly $111,000. Bulow, who regularly monitors her bank statements, was outraged when presented with the FEC data, stating bluntly, “What’s on that website is a lot of bullsh*t.” Despite being a frequent donor, Bulow denies contributing anything close to the reported amount, saying, “Not that much… Not $111,000.”
Similarly, Salt Lake City, Utah, resident Marilyn Shearer found her name tied to nearly 3,600 transactions totaling over $133,000. Shearer admits to donating regularly, stating, “I donate quite a bit, probably every day, which is frustrating.” Despite her frequency in donating, she is stunned by the transactions attributed to her name. When questioned about the possibility of donating upwards of $100,000, Shearer shook her head no in disbelief.
The ActBlue donation legitimacy issue is escalating, with attorney generals from Texas, Wyoming, Missouri, Virginia, and two anonymous states launching investigations into the organization’s questionable fundraising practices. Here’s more from the O’Keefe Media Group.
