That's what happened with Gore with Chinese contributions, IIRC. He had to send them back or be fined.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

I'm talking about the case where a foreigner independently buys ad time to run an add in support of a candidate.
Obviously, they can just forbid the network from selling the time, or running the ad. But that still seems sketchy from a 1st Amendment POV (granted, ALL campaign finance reforce is at best toeing the line there).Comment

Probably not, but it probably is their responsibility to examine who's paying them for the ad time.Comment

Joe Smith Corp, LLC is paying for the ad.
It is ownd by Charles WHANGNAN of China.
Do the TV stations need to look up who owns each company?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
