A source argued that his primary campaign was rife with frivolous spending, such as nearly $3,000 in spending at Papa’s Beer and $21,000 for lodging accommodations in Florida, the outlet reported. His campaign also racked up excessive consulting fees — the main source of his funding woes, the source noted.

“Nobody ever did the math, which baffled me because the spending was so outrageous,” a source said.

By May 5, his campaign had 2% of the $3.7 million it amassed since January 2021, according to the outlet, and had tapped into general election funds months ago.

Cawthorn's treasurer reportedly quit last Friday, and the congressman took his place. One idea that has been floated among his confidants is to establish a new campaign and forward the money, but Cawthorn is not eager to do that, according to the report.

perhaps he can borrow a few dollars from hawley?
 
I wonder when Omar and AOC will have to pay back the campaign funds they spent illegally...oh wait they're Democrats.

Omar already did pay them back, along with a fine. AOC was guilty only of improper disclosure of certain campaign expenses, but the contributions were returned. Nice try, though.
