Top Democratic megadonor John Morgan says Kamala Harris should be disqualified from running for president 'forever' and fumed at the way her campaign churned through more than $1 billion while losing to Donald Trump. Morgan, a wealthy trial lawyer, fumed about the spending spree in an appearance on Chris Cuomo's show 'CUOMO' on NewsNation.
'All of a sudden, everybody's got the keys to the candy store, ad buyers, talent consultants.
There's 100 days to do it, and the money started pouring in, pouring in,' he said.
He bemoaned some of the profligate spending decisions, like lighting up the Las Vegas 'Sphere' to the tune of $900,000, plus ad-buys in his home state of Florida and wall-to-wall ads in the unsuccessful bid to prevent Donald Trump's return to the White House .
He suggested ill motives for some of the costs. 'She had all these consultants. And if you don't run the ads, you don't get paid for the buy,' he fumed. 'Nine hundred thousand to put her face on the sphere in Las Vegas! The ego, the crazy, the commissions,' he compalined.
He said he was at the White House, where President Biden held a huge 'thank you' party for staff, campaign aides, and donors. 'There's a lot of whispers.
There's a lot of names about who got paid this, who got paid that, and a lot of people got rich on the back of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever. Forever. If you can't run a campaign, you can't run America, and that would be the argument just Day One,' he said.
