https://www.foxnews.com/politi...1-6-billion-donationNew conservative group gets $1.6 billion donation to spend during midterms and beyond
A conservative nonprofit poised to spend during the upcoming 2022 midterm elections and beyond received a record donation of $1.6 billion last year, Fox News has confirmed.
The group, The Marble Freedom Trust, is captained by Leonard Leo, a conservative strategist known for his leadership of the Federalist Society and work in causes related to abortion law and Supreme Court nominations.
The donation came from Barre Seid, an electronics manufacturing mogul.
The donation is one of the largest single contributions ever made to a politically focused nonprofit, according to the New York Times, which first reported the news.
"The conservative movement is grateful to have more resources to support important causes such as the rule of law, constitutionalist judges, free markets, religious freedom, and conscience rights," Leo told Fox News. "But we have a long way to go to catch up with Arabella Advisors which has had over a decade to build a dark money empire."
Arabella Advisors is reportedly a left-leaning consulting agency tied to progressive dark money nonprofits.

Barre Seid is a Chicago-based American industrialist and political activist. He was the former CEO of Tripp Lite, an electrical products manufacturer before donating the company to Marble Freedom Trust, which on March 17, 2021 sold it to American-Irish power company Eaton for $1.65 billion.[2][3] He has made large contributions to conservative causes.
Seid was born in 1932 to Russian Jewish immigrant parents and grew up on the South Side of Chicago.
Seid attended the University of Chicago under a special bachelor's degree program. He served two years in the US Army and returned to Chicago to take a job as an assistant to investor and businessman Graham Trippe.
In 2010 he was granted an honorary degree by Bar-Ilan University.

DakorThe liberal media is going apeshit over this donation, of course. Trump is absolutely correct when he says the LSM is the enemy of the People.
