LinkedIn co-founder and Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman, the same billionaire who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, stayed at his Manhattan townhouse, and once sent the convicted pedophile ice cream “for the girls,” just poured $500,000 into a super PAC backing Kentucky Democrat Zach Dembo.

The cash went to Kentuckians Not Corruption on September 24, according to WEKU’s October 16 investigation into Federal Election Commission records.

The group is running heavy television ads supporting Dembo and attacking his Republican opponent, former state Sen. Ralph Alvarado, in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District.

Advertising records show the PAC’s weekly TV buys on Lexington’s WLEX-TV exploded after the money arrived, jumping from roughly $14,650 in mid-September to nearly $110,000 the week of October 6. By mid-October the group had already spent about $1.6 million on the race.

“This is really, it’s dirty Epstein class money fueling Zach Dembo’s campaign. It’s offensive,” Alvaro told Fox News.

He added that Hoffman “was one of his best friends,” citing the island visits, townhouse stays, and the infamous Christmas Eve ice cream shipment with the note that it was “either for yourself or for the girls.”

The Gateway Pundit has previously reported extensively on Hoffman’s deep and longstanding ties to Epstein. In February, we covered Elon Musk publicly confronting Hoffman over the “ice cream for the girls” remark and the volume of their communications.

Earlier reporting detailed Hoffman’s island visit, his role in helping rehabilitate Epstein’s reputation through MIT fundraising, and his continued contacts years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.

Hoffman has repeatedly claimed the relationship was limited and strictly for fundraising purposes, claims that keep collapsing under the weight of the documents.

Dembo, a former federal prosecutor and Navy JAG officer who worked as an aide to Gov. Andy Beshear, has built his entire campaign around fighting “corruption” and the influence of “big business and the ultra-wealthy.”

His website declares that the ultra-wealthy “shouldn’t be able to buy influence in Washington” and calls for getting rid of dark money. He has attacked tax breaks for “billionaires and coastal elites” and promised to fight for working families instead of the donor class.

Yet when the biggest single check to the super PAC boosting him came from one of the most notorious Epstein-linked billionaires in Democratic politics, Dembo’s campaign has stayed silent. Fox News said it repeatedly sought comment and received none.
