BEAT LAMAR Blasts Alexander for Taking Money From Lobbying Firm That Backs Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Government

Michael Patrick Leahy, co-founder of BEAT LAMAR, today criticized Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander for accepting $7,500 in political donations from employees of a Democrat led K Street firm that has lobbied on behalf Lockheed Martin, the airplane manufacturer that received $213 million from the Federal government for 20 F-16 fighter jets the Obama Administration gave to the Muslim Brotherhood led Egyptian government in early 2013.
“Senator Lamar Alexander raised $634,800 in itemized donations of over $200 during the first quarter of 2013, and only $650 in unitemized donations. I note with alarm that $7,500 of the itemized donations Alexander accepted came from fourteen employees of the Podesta Group, a Democrat led K Street firm that successfully lobbied Congress to pay its client, Lockheed Martin, $213 million for the 20 F-16 fighter jets the Obama administration gave Egypt’s current Muslim Brotherhood at the beginning of 2013.”
