FACT CHECK: Peter Schiff's "liberal McMahon" ad says that as an individual contributor, Linda

McMahon has given to liberal Democrats including Rahm Emanuel, now President Obama's chief of
staff. She did give to Democrats, including Emanuel, but so has Schiff. Of the three GOP Senate
candidates, only Rob Simmons has given only to Republicans. Here's how their individual
contributions have stacked up over the years, based on Federal Elections Commission data from
OpenSecrets.org.
LINDA MCMAHON: $128,000 in 47 donations since 1991; $34,100 to Democrats including $22,500 to
Political Action Committees and $4,300 to Emanuel.
