Rosie O’Donnell made illegally over-sized campaign donations to at least five Democratic federal candidates, according to a Post analysis of campaign filings.
The liberal comedian has regularly broken Federal Election Commission rules limiting the total any one person can give to an individual candidate at $2,700 per election. The limit applies separately to primaries, runoffs and general elections.
“Nothing nefarious,” the outspoken star and Donald Trump arch-nemesis wrote in an email to the Post. “I was not choosing to over donate.
“If 2700 is the cut off — [candidates] should refund the money,” she wrote. “I don’t look to see who I can donate most to … I just donate assuming they do not accept what is over the limit.”
O’Donnell said she donates often, and uses the online liberal fundraising platform ActBlue. “My anxiety is quelled by donating to those opposing trump [and] his agenda — especially at night — when most of these were placed.”
Alabama Sen. Doug Jones disclosed $4,700 from O’Donnell in his special general election bid last year against former GOP judge and accused child molester Roy Moore, his campaign filings show. Jones’ office didn’t return messages seeking comment.
Pennsylvania Rep. Conor Lamb reported $3,600 from O’Donnell for the special general election he won in a March upset, his filings show. He’s now running for a full two-year term in a different congressional district in November, and O’Donnell put up another $1,000 for that bid.
Lamb’s campaign manager said they will notify O’Donnell of her error and inform her that the extra $900 can be refunded or put toward the primary.

There is nothing about this woman that isn't over-sized, with the exception of IQ, obviously.
It’s called personal responsibility, Rosie. You’re supposed to keep track of your donations. It’s not that hard to do, although it is a lot easier when one doesn’t have thousands to toss around carelessly.
again - she shows how she doesn’t want to be responsible in an important matter. the “everyone has to do things for me” mentality, nope not her fault she’s jsut a victim of campaigns that don’t cut her off from donating LOL.
If it’s illegal then laws were broken and criminal charges should therefore be forthcoming.
Off to the rendering plant!
Since she donated to five candidates she should get five times the punishment that Dinesh DeSouza received.
Try to think of a Democrat that has Ever paid for their crime.......I’ll wait
She used Five different addresses and variations of her name. Intent to commit election fraud. But, thank God she is a Democrats and is immune to criminal charges.
Five different addresses. As Comey would say there is no intent.
Worked with a firm that help resolve a property dispute on one of fatso’s assets. According to the neighbor everything we’ve ever said here about her personality doesn’t even begin to describe the vile demon that possesses her body.
Gee. I wonder if she will go to prison like Dinesh D’Souza did?
I wonder.
I wonder I wonder.
I wonder I wonder...I wonder.
Yep. My first thought. Should be illustrative. Very illustrative.
bttt
Give her Dinesh Desusas cell, he made one oversize donation.
Dinesh D’Souza went to federal prison for giving too much (10K) one time to a friend who was running for Congress and lost. He was unaware of the limit, and never asked anything in return. Normally a warning and maybe a fine. But of course he wrote bad things about Obama and his Department of JustUs.
Will she get the Martha Stewart or Dinesh D’Souza treatment? Not in a million years.
Kinda sounds like she needs to find a boyfriend.
Go off the plantation of leftism,
get attacked by the different arms of the left.
Not surprised at all.
Big liberal = gets a pass.
