Wayne Messam says he's reviewing claims of unpaid presidential campaign workers

[TexasTowelie]

Little-known in his home state, Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam had what for a long-shot candidate could only be described as a hugely successful rollout of his presidential campaign last month when he kicked things off with the release of a polished video and a before-dawn announcement on CNN’s New Day.

Was it all downhill from there?

Barely a month into an unlikely 2020 bid, Messam is already fending off allegations that his campaign is in chaos. According to Miami New Times, a former staffer says Messam employees are bailing because his wife has “consolidated” the campaign’s finances and won’t cut checks.

Reached Friday, Messam declined to specifically address questions about whether his campaign has failed to pay a staff that the campaign recently numbered at 20 employees. But he said a campaign attorney is looking into an email that, according to New Times, was sent to his team alleging that his spouse, Angela Messam, was refusing to issue paychecks.

“We’re aware of the letter that was sent and the campaign is working with counsel to address any legitimate claims,” Messam said, adding that he’s not aware of any “written resignations.”

1. Who?

If his own state doesn't know who he is, how are we supposed to? His wife has probably refused to cut checks cause there ain't any money!
