WASHINGTON -- Christine O'Donnell wants the Internal Revenue Service to revoke the tax-exempt status of the watchdog group that accused her of improperly using funds from her failed Senate campaign for living expenses.
During a Wednesday conference call with reporters, O'Donnell accused Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington of knowingly filing false claims against her, damaging her reputation, and racially discriminating against black members of Congress. She likened her treatment by CREW and its executive director, Melanie Sloan, to someone filing a false rape charge against President Barack Obama because she didn't like him.
She is also seeking a criminal investigation of the group by the U.S. Attorney's Office and Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden's office.
"They've already done whatever they can to me," O'Donnell said of CREW. "They've already had the FBI investigate me. I've been cleared by the U.S. Attorney's Office. So I'm fighting back because while I'm certainly not the first person CREW has come after, I would like to be the last."
Good for her.
ReplyDeleteGlad DE had since enough to not send her to Washington but also glad she's still in the news. What a cutey
ReplyDeleteSo this is the new way she's decided to make her money, by suing. Great.
ReplyDeleteI know that suing is usually a Democrat thing to do but she is right to try and punish those who slandered her and used it to rig the election.
ReplyDeleteA Republican wanting Big Government to intervene for her own well being? A Republican wanting the IRS (the IRS?!?!?) to flex its power and authority?
ReplyDeleteThere is NO WAY a Republican would succumb to such a blatant double-standard. No. Way.
