… politics, but records show that your campaign has accepted contributions and PAC money from certain companies. Can you explain that? Is that a bit of a contradiction? No. You know, My opponent claims he doesn't, but he has taken $30,000 of corporate lobbyist money that represent pharma and big oil. He took money from the Ambassador Bridge owner Matt Maroon. Maroons have given him money and he would not accept that. And then only recently he said, oh, he took the money for Thanksgiving dinners. (03:55–04:06)
