Sandra Fluke was catapulted to Democrat stardom after she testified before Congress on the woes of having to pay for her own birth control. She contended that she could not afford the $3,000 a year cost for birth control, so the taxpayers should provide it for her.
This was used to craft and push the false narrative of a Republican ‘war on women.’ The ‘right’ to have sex with no personal responsibility was at the heart of the argument and anyone who objected was deemed as being against women.
Fast-forward to today and Sandra Fluke is now a Democrat candidate for State Senate in California. She boasts of fundraising prowess, claiming to have raised more than her opponent, Ben Allen. But a breakdown of her campaign finances reveals two startling facts.
The first is that Sandra Fluke and her family are personally responsible one-third of her campaign donations. When you take those out, Allen has actually outraised Fluke $330,141 to $278,859.01.
But, the bigger story is that Sandra Fluke, who complained to be unable to pay for birth control, a expenditure that she claimed cost $3,000 a year even though birth control pills can be purchased at most pharmacies for $4 a month, has given her campaign a total of $116,826,27. Of that, $12,000 was donated outright, $4,826.27 was given in non-monetary contributions, and $100,000 was given by Fluke to her campaign in the form of a loan.
The Washington Examiner continues their report by pointing out that Fluke only recently graduated from law school, in 2012, and works as a social justice attorney. But, somehow, she had $112,000 at her disposal to give in monetary funds to her campaign.
