The Republican National Committee (RNC) and Winsome Earle-Sears have attacked Abigail Spanberger for receiving a $50,000 campaign donation from an individual whom they claim is a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

There is one little detail that the Republicans fail to mention. The individual, Pin Ni, has also donated to a long list of Republicans, including the RNC and the National Republican Campaign Committee.

Ni is the president of Wanxiang America Corporation, a Chinese-owned auto parts company based in Chicago.

Republicans claim Spanberger broke the law by accepting donations from a foreign national. However, according to the Virginia Political Newsletter, Ni has had a Social Security number since 1992. That would mean that he is at least a green card holder, making political contributions legal. Even if that were not true, then Sen. Steve Daines (R-Montana), the RNC, and other Republicans are also guilty.
