Fox isn't the only one that needs to be worried.
How many $millions has Hillary gotten from Saudi Arabia and other foreign countries? They have contributed tons of money to the Clinton foundation, a slush fund which in turn has helped Hillary in her campaign. She is owned far more than the 5% this Democrat Weintraub is targeting.
If they pass this plan, Hillary would be unable to run for President at all.
Is any part of American politics more influenced by foreigners, than Hillary's run for President?
These Democrats should be careful what they wish for.
From the article linked in the OP:
In their biggest threat yet to conservative media, Democrats on the Federal Election Commission are laying the groundwork to bar companies with even the tiniest foreign ownership from American politics, ....
In a last-minute submission Wednesday, a top Democrat on the evenly split FEC proposed that the Thursday meeting of the commission begin the process to prohibit companies with foreign ownership as small as 5 percent "from funding expenditures, independent expenditures, or electioneering communications."
Democratic Commissioner Ellen Weintraub said in her submission, "Given everything we have learned this year, it blinks reality to suggest that that there is no risk of foreign nationals taking advantage of current loopholes to intercede invisibly in American elections. This is a risk no member of the Federal Election Commission should be willing to tolerate."
