Ralph Alvarado, in Kentucky\u2019s 6th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Advertising records show the PAC\u2019s weekly TV buys on Lexington\u2019s WLEX-TV exploded after the money arrived, jumping from roughly $14,650 in mid-September to nearly $110,000 the week of October 6. By mid-October the group had already spent about $1.6 million on the race.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cThis is really, it\u2019s dirty Epstein class money fueling Zach Dembo\u2019s campaign. It\u2019s offensive,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/epstein-linked-billionaire-pours-500k-super-pac-backing-kentucky-democrat-dirty-epstein-class-money\">Alvaro told Fox News. <\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">He added that Hoffman \u201cwas one of his best friends,\u201d citing the island visits, townhouse stays, and the infamous Christmas Eve ice cream shipment with the note that it was \u201ceither for yourself or for the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The Gateway Pundit has previously reported extensively on Hoffman\u2019s deep and longstanding ties to Epstein. In February, we covered Elon Musk publicly confronting Hoffman over the \u201cice cream for the girls\u201d remark and the volume of their communications.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Earlier reporting detailed Hoffman\u2019s island visit, his role in helping rehabilitate Epstein\u2019s reputation through MIT fundraising, and his continued contacts years after Epstein\u2019s 2008 conviction.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Hoffman has repeatedly claimed the relationship was limited and strictly for fundraising purposes, claims that keep collapsing under the weight of the documents.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Dembo, a former federal prosecutor and Navy JAG officer who worked as an aide to Gov. Andy Beshear, has built his entire campaign around fighting \u201ccorruption\u201d and the influence of \u201cbig business and the ultra-wealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">His website declares that the ultra-wealthy \u201cshouldn\u2019t be able to buy influence in Washington\u201d and calls for getting rid of dark money. He has attacked tax breaks for \u201cbillionaires and coastal elites\u201d and promised to fight for working families instead of the donor class.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Yet when the biggest single check to the super PAC boosting him came from one of the most notorious Epstein-linked billionaires in Democratic politics, Dembo\u2019s campaign has stayed silent. Fox News said it repeatedly sought comment and received none.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2026\/10\/epstein-linked-billionaire-reid-hoffman-drops-500k-kentucky\/\">Epstein-Linked Billionaire Reid Hoffman Drops $500K on Kentucky Democrat Zach Dembo<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LinkedIn co-founder and Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman, the same billionaire who visited Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s private island, stayed at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
