According to campaign finance records, both Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump were more than happy to shell out thousands of dollars for Kamala Harris’ campaigns for Attorney General in California. The Harris camp claims that the money from the Trumps was never used for the campaign, and that many years later they donated the money to nonprofit groups, but it still raises questions as to why the Trump family would want Harris as the AG. Not be outdone, Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand have also taken funds from the Trump family over the years. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

There's a disturbing trend that has been revealed amongst some of the, uh, how should we say more centrist people running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020. And that is that three of them at least have taken money from Donald and or Ivanka Trump. One of the most glaringly obvious and disturbing cases is Kamala Harris. According to a new report, Kamala Harris over the span of several years, took $6,000 from both Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump's $6,000 combined. It was given over the span of several years. She also took a few thousand dollars from Steve Mnuchin, the man who she was supposed to prosecute and put in jail, but made the decision not to. And he rewarded her by giving her a few thousand dollars for her campaign. Cory Booker was the recipient of a fundraiser held for him by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. They held a fundraiser in New Jersey for Cory booker. And then for really no obvious reason at all, the Trump family also gave money to Kirsten Gillibrand, who represents a state that the Trumps really don't have much business in.
So this all begs the question, why was the Trump family giving these democrats fundraisers? Why were they giving them money? We know why Steve Mnuchin gave money. He didn't want to go to jail, and now he's the secretary of the treasury. But to me, it's also very telling about what the Trump family saw with regards to these particular politicians. They saw these as people who were not going to raise their taxes, who would not increase regulations on their businesses, and who would essentially rule for the billionaire class. That should give us all calls for concern. And I know most of these people have given the money away to nonprofits. Of course, that only happened several years after they took the money years after they took the money, and then they realized, oh, Trump's a bad guy and everybody hates him. Uh, let's donate. The amount that they gave us to a nonprofit doesn't work, doesn't absolve you from taking this jackass is money.
