After making a $200,000 donation to a committee supporting Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee in August, pharmaceuticals billionaire Robert Duggan said he would “do considerably more as we head towards the election.” He certainly kept his promise. According to federal filings, Duggan gave another $4.6 million to groups supporting Trump in the waning days of the 2020 presidential campaign.

As I have previously said regarding Scientologist Patricia (Trish) Duggan, my point is neither anti-Trump nor pro-Trump. I would post precisely the same thing if the contributions had been made to the Biden campaign and Democrats.
I believe it is significant when Scientologists are politically active. I believe it is far more significant when Scientologist billionaires are politically active.
The importance of these donations is not just how much is donated, but also what they portend for the future.
Republicans could reasonably think, "If the Duggans have each already donated millions to Republicans, and together donated $360 million to Scientology, how much might they donate to our candidates in the future?"
Will any Republican in Washington take on or antagonize Scientology if it means pissing off the Duggans and causing them to stop making political contributions to Republicans?
And again, I would ask precisely the same question if the contributions had been made to the Biden campaign and Democrats. My concern is non-partisan. My concern is solely about the political influence of Scientology generally, regardless of party. For example, I furiously tweeted and posted the story (including here) about Biden VP hopeful Karen Bass having spoken at the Inglewood Org opening and praising Scientology front-groups six months before the story "broke" on the Daily Caller.
