NC-SEN: Former employees of DeJoy say they were pressured to donate to Senator Thom Tillis

Former employees of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy at New Breed Logistics say they were pressured to donate to Republican candidates and were rewarded for their donations with bonuses, according to a report by The Washington Post.

Three former employees at New Breed Logistics, DeJoy’s former company, described the arrangment by saying that if workers donated to political candidates that DeJoy supported, then they would receive bonuses. Managers were expected to participate, according to the report.

From 1983 to 2014, DeJoy served as the CEO of New Breed Logistics until the company was sold to XPO Logistics.

A fourth employee confirmed that managers were routinely asked to donate. The four former employees agreed to speak if they remained anonymous due to fear of professional repercussions.

More than a dozen management-level employees at New Breed Logistics would commonly donate to the same political candidate on the same day, according to a review of campaign finance records. The employees also often wrote checks for the same amount of money, the review finds.

Twenty senior and mid-level New Breed Logistics officials donated $37,600 in total on a day in Oct. 2014 to Senator Thom Tillis. Each New Breed official wrote a check for the maximum allowable donation, $2,600 or $1,000.

At that time, Tillis was running to unseat a Democratic incumbent.

I still say if you want to bring down the Republican Party, bring down the North Carolina Republican Party for their corruption. The state of NC will never do anything to them. Even when a candidates own son, Mark Harris' son, testified against him, they still let Harris off. Mark Harris KNEW they were stealing absentee ballots, PROVEN in court, with his own son testifying against him. Some preacher, huh? He's a thief and a liar.

Many MANY of Trump's most corrupt appointees have been hand picked from NC's Republican Party or had close ties to NC's Republican Party. NC's Republican Party has been getting away with bribery, corruption, vote theft, gerrymandering and just general bullying for ages now. All Robin Hayes got for his HUGE part in a bribery scandal was probation and a small, for him, fine.

One thing about NC Republicans and Republicans in general is that their mindset is to put all their eggs in one basket. I still say that getting something done at the federal level about the NC Republican Party is the key to bringing the whole party down and stopping thier corruption. People would be surprised at the horrors these Republicans have perpetrated on people, especially Democrats, in NC.

If, by some miracle, Tillis does end up in a prison of some time, make sure to let the person cooking his food that he doesn't think they should have to wash their hands after using the toilet. That has been Tillis' claim to fame, before he got caught for corruption. It should be part of his punishment, imo. Let him wonder if they washed their hands or not. He is one nasty POS.
