Quote
A prominent Republican political donor demanded on Saturday that the party pass legislation to restrict access to guns, and vowed not to contribute to any candidates or electioneering groups that did not support a ban on the sale of military-style firearms to civilians.

Al Hoffman Jr., a Florida-based real estate developer who was a leading fund-raiser for George W. Bush’s campaigns, said he would seek to marshal support among other Republican political donors for a renewed assault weapons ban.

Al Hoffman is an Establishment Republican.

Quote
Mr. Hoffman, a former ambassador to Portugal, has donated millions to Republican candidates and causes over the years, including more than $1 million to Right to Rise, a “super PAC” that supported Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign in 2016.

A critic of President Trump, Mr. Hoffman has continued to donate heavily to other Republicans.

Sounds like he's wasted a lot of money, if he sank it into Jeb(!).

just a warning GOP. if you go with this for the money, you can kiss the ass of the shooters who are the actual voters you need.  Sell us out for this A**hole's money, and you can go to Hell on election day, we'd be better off voting for the most shithouse-rat crazy Dem on the ballot to bring on the final crisis instead of trying to stave it off with your half-assed, ineffective crap.
