Over the past year, the Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC) has raised $141,660. They spent that money on various candidates to lobby them, along with the firm hired by PTI in D.C. to assist with their lobbying efforts.
PAKPAC raised $5,000 for Friends of McCormick and contributed $5,000 to Richard McCormick’s campaign. He is the one who sponsored Resolution 901 in the U.S. Congress.
The full list of candidates that PAKPAC has contributed to is available on OpenSecrets.
This is why PAKPAC was congratulated by Shahbaz Gill on Twitter. PAKPAC was celebrating candidates like Richard McCormick and sharing their videos.
Richard McCormick also sponsored the bill to censure Rashida Tlaib for her pro-Palestine comments. He has also received over $80,000 from pro-Israel lobbying. This is why you will see him supporting pro-Israel legislation regularly in the U.S. Congress.
This is not to imply any conspiracy theory. PTI did not hire Zionists nor are they connected to the Zionist or pro-Israel lobby. For the record, I believe Imran Khan was not pro-Israel.
This is simply to show how lobbying works in the United States and how PTI used the same Congressmen who have taken money from other lobbyists and PACs to vote for them as well.
