“Hypocrite” exposes the shady slush fund scheme through which Senator Russ Feingold padded his own pockets.
Senator Feingold may not catch the spot in his California home but Wisconsinites will see “Hypocrite” in Green Bay, La Crosse, Milwaukee, and Wausau.
“Senator Russ Feingold’s hypocrisy is Washington at its very worst. From his broken Garage Door Pledge ‘for the future’ and sudden embrace of super PACs to the ‘legalized slush fund’ he set up after Wisconsinites fired him, Senator Feingold is now everything he used to hate,” said NRSC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “Mr. Clean wrote the book on campaign finance reform; decades later, he used donor money to buy his own leather bound ones for personal profit. The 1992 Russ Feingold would be absolutely disgusted with his 2016 self.”

SCRIPT
VO: Russ Feingold said he’d get rid of special interest money in politics and change Washington.
But it changed him.

And he’s used it to enrich himself…Feingold spent over a million to pay himself and his personal staff.
Saying one thing and doing another. That’s Russ Feingold.
Russ Feingold’s hypocrisy is Washington at its worst.
