In an interview on the Daily Beast's "The New Abnormal," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) made the case for his crusade to eliminate so-called "dark money" from politics, stating the hundreds of millions of dollars coming from mysterious groups are to blame for spreading misinformation that derails much-needed legislation.
Speaking with host Molly Jong-Fast, the Democrat who has made the focus on dark money's influence on the Supreme Court his central issue, accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) of being a willing conduit by spreading the cash around to members of his party.
“We’re now at a stage where there's often more dark money spent by groups in a race than there is by the actual campaign itself," he told the host. "So if you are a person who can control a $20 or $30 million spend into a Senate race, you are absolutely essential to that senator and around his caucus. Mitch McConnell becomes indispensable as the spigot."

And he didn't even get into talking about how big money took down voting rights backed by the Federalist society and the society members sitting on the supreme court ....what could possibly go wrong....
