NRSC Basically a Nigerian Prince Who Wants You to Send Him Money

At this point in election season, every political campaign email is essentially a giant money grab. So it’s no surprise that, what with PACs, Super PACs, 527s, and grassroots funding in the mix, someone would resort to the legal equivalent of pulling a Nigerian prince scam.

Sadly, that someone is the National Republican Senatorial Committee, who humbly requests your assistance in obtaining victory by transferring a small fee into their bank accounts:

NRSC crosses well into spam territory with a subject line that starts with [Funds Transfer]. Not OK. pic.twitter.com/KzOpG9LMCa
