Fallen lobbyist Jack Abramoff reminds everyone he cannot vote
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Filed Under: Abramoff Scandal
More on: barack obama, mitt romney
 
Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff can't vote because he's a felon but he says he can't support President Barack Obama.

He can't really endorse Republican Mitt Romney either. “But I don’t want to jinx him and hurt him, so I’m not announcing my support of him," Abramoff said on his new SiriusXM radio show.

“I can’t vote in any event, as a felon, so it’s almost irrelevant who I do support, other than to hurt somebody," Abramoff said, Politico reported.

Abramoff spent nearly four years in federal prison after admitting that he defrauded his tribal clients. He's supposed to pay them millions of dollars in restitution.
