Ron DeSantis is attending a Texas fundraiser hosted by Lamar Smith, a former Texas Congressman who is now a registered foreign agent and a donor to Democrat politician Jamie Raskin, who led impeachment efforts against Donald Trump over January 6th.
Smith is advertised by Team DeSantis as one of the hosts of the Friday fundraiser in San Antonio. The Florida Governor is currently polling at 10 percent to Trump’s 61 percent in Texas, and Smith seems unlikely to help burnish the Floridian’s America First credentials, being a registered foreign agent.
Despite his background as a GOP legislator, Smith is also a donor to Representative Jamie Raskin, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. Raskin was a prominent member of the January 6th Committee, and served as House impeachment manager against then-President Trump in 2021.
Smith is not the only DeSantis donor who has supported Raskin financially, either, with key backer ‘Mullah’ Morteza Hosseini and his wife having also funded the Democrat – along with Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Anthony Weiner – through an Iranian political action committee.
