Last week, Kyrsten Sinema’s FEC filing revealed that she took $1,280 from anti-semite, convict, and conspiracy theorist ‘Evil Elmo.’
His real name is Adam Sandler, and he earned the “Evil Elmo” moniker after an antisemitic rant while dressed as the Sesame Street character in Times Square. He donated $1,280 to Sinema’s campaign in the last quarter. Sandler is also known for running a website called “Welcome to the Rape Camp” as well as for pleading guilty to attempted extortion. (Apparently he has since moved to the West Coast and now dresses as the Cookie Monster.)
Nazi memorabilia collector Harlan Crow also donated to Sinema again this quarter.

New York Post: Kyrsten Sinema’s sagging war chest gets infusion from ‘Evil Elmo’
Lydia Moynihan | October 19, 2023
Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s fundraising may have slumped in the last quarter after her lavish campaign spending, but she apparently has one new and notorious donor: “Evil Elmo.”
The fan — who earned the Evil Elmo moniker after allegedly spewing an antisemitic rant while dressed as the Sesame Street character in Times Square — donated $1,280 to her campaign in the last quarter, according to public election filings.
The man inside the red costume, 59-year-old Adam Sandler — not to be confused with the comedian — has been arrested multiple times in New York and San Francisco for harassing tourists and screaming obscenities and conspiracy theories, according to multiple reports.
This not-so-funny Sandler — who hails from Ashland, Ore., and ran a website from Cambodia called “Welcome to the Rape Camp” — went to jail a decade ago after he tried to extort $2 million from the Girl Scouts of America.
“She’s taking money from a guy who gives antisemitic rants in public when Israel is being attacked,” said an Arizona political strategist. “Ideally it’s the job of your finance director to monitor what’s incoming even if it’s an online donation, and be like ‘hmmm no, red flag.’”
Sinema drew the scorn of some donors after On The Money reported she spent more than $100,000 from her coffers on luxury hotels, private jets, limos and fine wines.
[…]“Democrats have abandoned her, Republicans only want her in the race because she increases the odds of Kari Lake winning, and everyone else just sees her as a loser,” the source said.
