Tiffany Calls on Democrat Candidates to Refuse WisDem Party Support Until $750,000 Hoffman Donation Is Returned
WAUSAU, WI – Today, Tom Tiffany, candidate for governor of Wisconsin, called on every Democrat running for governor to denounce the $750,000 the Democratic Party of Wisconsin accepted from Epstein Island visitor Reid Hoffman in April. Tiffany also called on each candidate to pledge not to accept financial support from the party unless it returns the money and refuses any future contributions from Hoffman.
Wisconsin Democrats have been bankrolled for years by Reid Hoffman, who remained connected to Jeffrey Epstein after he was a convicted sex offender and even traveled to his island. According to Wisconsin campaign finance records, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has received more than $15 million from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman since 2019, including $100,000 in December and another $750,000 in April. Mr. Hoffman is the party’s largest single donor.
“In February, I called on the Wisconsin Democratic Party leaders to return the money they received from Epstein Island visitor Reid Hoffman. Instead, they doubled down by accepting another $750,000 from him,” Tiffany said. “Will Francesca Hong, Mandela Barnes, and the other Democrat candidates pledge not to benefit from this Epstein-tainted money, or will they continue standing with a party that keeps accepting donations from a confirmed Epstein Island visitor who also sent Jeffrey Epstein gifts?”
With the release of the recent documents, which Congressman Tom Tiffany voted to make public, the New York Post reports that newly uncovered emails show Reid Hoffman discussing visits to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, his New Mexico ranch, and his New York apartment.
Documents also show that Hoffman, who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island in 2014, sent Epstein a statue, writing that it was “something that may strike your funny bone for the island.” He also arranged to send Epstein ice cream “for the girls.”
