ABC may not discipline George Stephanopoulos for not disclosing $75,000 to The Clinton Foundation prior to his interview with “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer, but at least one artist in New York City isn’t as forgiving.
“PayPal” signs adorned with the “Good Morning America” journalist standing next to Hillary Clinton are popping up all around the network’s studio.
The signs were first shared via Twitter by The Weekly Standard’s Mark Hemingway and Twitchy. A collection of the photos was also shared by the Washington Free Beacon on Thursday.
The Washington Free Beacon uncovered Stephanopoulos’ undisclosed donations to The Clinton Foundation May 14. When an editor asked ABC News for comment, a producer for the network’s chief anchor went to Politico instead. Mr. Stephanopoulos apologized for not being open with viewers in a statement.
“I made charitable donations to the foundation in support of the work they’re doing on global AIDS prevention and deforestation, causes I care about deeply. I thought that my contributions were a matter of public record. However, in hindsight, I should have taken the extra step of personally disclosing my donations to my employer and to the viewers on air during the recent news stories about the foundation. I apologize,” he said.
