Now comedian and television personality Rosie O’Donnell is getting in on the fight.
O’Donnell has already donated the maximum amount of money to Allen’s campaign in an effort to help her defeat Chaffetz, who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Chaffetz took O’Donnell’s donation to Allen and tried to turn it into cash for his own campaign, according to USA Today.
“Rosie O’Donnell, just maxed out my Democrat opponent and is tweeting to all of her liberal followers to do the same,” Chaffetz said in a recent fundraising email.
“Rosie O’Donnell is just the beginning. Many more liberal Democrats will most likely follow her in supporting my opponent and working to see me defeated,” the email continued.
O’Donnell told Mic that she is glad Allen is raking in the cash for her campaign already.
“We have to make it about truth,” O’Donnell told Mic, explaining how a Democrat could win in a heavily conservative state such as Utah.
