    Do records show that he donated to a progressive PAC? I thought they show a person with the same name donated but that the age was different

      Even if he donated those 15$ bucks, so what?

      Is the trick to try and convince people that becoming a democrat makes you crazy or something? That shit won’t stick at all, because he was a fucking national hero

        Would be common to use the city of Pittsburgh for the suburb of Bethel Park:

        (have not looked into the guy nor his possible donations at all myself)

      Look at the timing - Jan 20th, 2021. The day Biden was sworn in.

      $15 is not much and could very well be him delivering on a bet over the election

        Yeah that kind of struck me as a potential possibility. Maybe he bet someone that small amount that Biden wouldn’t actually be seated.

          I mean it doesn’t sound like he has friends, but it is weird that a 16-17 year old would donate on his own. It feels like it would go through his parents. Did they give him a credit card or something? Was it cash?

      Look at people still arguing about this niggling little detail.

      The RW propaganda machine is powerful af.

      I fell into that initially as well, but I checked the FEC filing to get the address, then used the address to check property records, then went back and looked at the interviews with his folks to see their names for reference. The residence is his parents, so it seems to be him that donated.
