That face when you can't figure out how to get your money back from Hillary Clinton's campaign website.

 

 

In this gruesome election cycle, there's no such thing as lukewarm support. In for a dime, in for a dollar, as they say.

 

Or, as they say on Hillary Clinton's campaign, in for $25, in for as much as we want.

 

This seems to be what's happening to an 81-year-old Maplewood woman named Carol Mahre, who took her frustrating situation to KARE 11 news last night. Mahre says in March, she used the Hillary for America campaign website to give her favorite candidate $25. That is, one donation, totaling $25.

 

"I thought, oh, what the hell, I'll give 'em 25 bucks," says Mahre, adding that she's "not rich."

 

Could've fooled the Clinton campaign on that: They charged her $125, with five separate $25 charges showing up on Mahre's credit card bill. Mahre was annoyed and confused by this development, and handed the case over to her son, a lawyer.

Roger Mahre called the Clinton campaign repeatedly over the course of a few days in April and May, and finally got through to someone who "seemed nice enough." This campaign representative said the campaign was more than willing to refund its errant charges to Carol's card, and promised there wouldn't be any more mistakes.

 

The pledge to return Mahre's money hasn't happened yet. Instead, the campaign snatched another $50 during May.

Move along, nothing to see. Modus operandi, the government taking from makers to give to takers.
