New York State Insider: Election Desk 2022 News: NY-17: Rep, Maloney Raids $600k in DCCC Funds for Own Faltering Campaign.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SELF-DEALING REP. MALONEY RAIDS DCCC FUNDS OF $600,000 FOR HIS OWN FALTERING CAMPAIGN. 

NY-17, Oct. 24…Rep. Sean Maloney, who’s job as Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), is to distribute money to the campaigns of Democratic candidates for congress all across America, is now siphoning money away from other candidates from his own party in a desperate last-minute attempt to save his own faltering campaign, it was learned today. 

Maloney’s DCCC just put more than $600,000 of its funds behind ads falsely attacking Mr. Maloney’s opponent, Assemblyman Mike Lawler, according to news reports. Mr. Maloney is running in New York’s 17th Congressional District after controversially using his position as DCCC chairman to push incumbent African-American Congressman Mondaire Jones from the race. 

Mr. Maloney has also been heavily criticized for gallivanting around Europe in recent weeks on so-called “fundraising trips.” Mr. Maloney’s own staff admitted that the Congressman has been on a “10-city tour”, which included Paris, London, and Geneva. The Maloney campaign refuses to list the other cities he’s been visiting. 

Mr. Maloney has been further lambasted by members of his own party for spending millions of dollars in DCCC funds to fund ‘far-right-wing’ Republicans in a Machiavellian attempt to interfere with GOP primaries. 

“Sean Maloney’s selfishness knows no bounds,” said Lawler spokesman Bill O’Reilly. “After what he did to Congressman Jones, and after the millions he blew trying to get cute in the primaries, Mr. Maloney is now robbing money from his fellow Democrats in a desperate attempt to save his own hide. He should have thought of what might happen to his candidacy before championing cashless bail, raising taxes on the middle class, and blowing a huge hole in the pockets of his constituents with ill-conceived inflationary votes.”
