Former talkshow host and comedian Rosie O’Donnell proudly and openly attempted to bribe Republican Senators Tuesday night, which is of course a felony.
As the bill on tax reform was being debated in the Senate, O’Donnell offered “2 million to any GOP senator who votes no” on the bill. No Republicans took Rosie up on her offer as all 51 voted in favor of the bill.
O’Donnell started by targeting two Republicans, Jeff Flake of Arizona and Susan Collins of Maine. She tweeted, “so how about this i promise to give 2 million dollars to senator susan collins and 2 million to senator jeff flake.”
Continuing, she wrote, “if they vote NO NO I WILL NOT KILL AMERICANS FOR THE SUOER (sic) RICH DM me susan DM me jeff no shit 2 million cash each.”

This caught the attention of others on social media who wondered if it could work.
Could this actually work?

O’Donnell was then reminded that it is illegal to bribe government officials, and maybe funding their opponents might be a more productive, and legal, alternative.
It’s bribery, I know you’re joking but you cannot pay lawmakers to vote. We’re almost @Russia but not quite yet
How about you help fund their opponents if they vote the wrong way, pretty sure that’s legal 🙂
