Super PACs

Super PACs, officially known as “independent-expenditure only committees,” may not make contributions to candidate campaigns or parties, but may engage in unlimited political spending independently of the campaigns. Unlike traditional PACs, they can raise funds from individuals, corporations, unions, and other groups without any legal limit on donation size.

**************

“WAUKESHA, Wisconsin — GOP presidential candidate Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker threw anti-conservative Brad Dayspring, who’s working for his Super PAC Unintimidated PAC, under the bus on Sean Hannity’s television program on Monday evening in an hour-long interview after announcing his White House run.

“Let me ask you about a hire of yours that has angered conservatives, it’s come up a lot in the news—Brent Bozell talks about Brad Dayspring as someone who besmirches the reputations of conservatives, that he’s paid to do the ugly work—do you pay attention to any of that, those criticisms?” Hannity asked Walker.

“Well, he doesn’t work for me, he works for the Super PACs out there and by ‘he doesn’t work for me’ I can’t tell any Super PACs anything,” Walker replied amid crosstalk.

Walker attempted to hire Dayspring 3 months before he was hired by his Super Pac.

From Breitbart:

What’s more, a high-ranking source with another Republican presidential campaign tells Breitbart News that Dayspring was offered the job three months ago—around the time the Mair catastrophe struck Walker’s team—and Dayspring turned it down then. So, if true, Dayspring was originally offered this job when there was no legal firewall between the campaign-in-waiting and the Super PAC—and that the governor himself would have approved the offer.

“I hear they offered this gig to him 3 months ago and he turned them down,” that source said in an email. “He went back to them because no one else would hire him.”

Dayspring, didn’t answer questions sent to him from Breitbart News for this article.
