    could this be seen as bribery of the public?

      Absolutely. She’s in the pocket of Big Homeless.

        It’s misappropriation of campaign funds, are you kidding me?

          If she’s using the money and her campaign feeds homeless people to attract attention then I can’t possibly imagine how it would be misappropriating money.

          Should she be paying it as a salary to one of her cousin’s, maybe she should be buying ad spots on network television?

          We’re talking about her and she used the money. What the hell do you want?

            “hey if you elect me I’ll buy you stuff” is the same as elon’s gifting of money.

            she should be buying ad spots on network television

            It’s literal years before the election. She shouldn’t even be running a campaign yet.

          Exactly. Imagine donating, expecting it to go towards a hard-working advertising firm, only for it to be frittered away on charity that nobody even notices.

          I thought she’s asking for food/goods donations rather than money
