Mega Edition: Les Wexner And His Political Patronage And The Harvard Hypocrisy (4/11/26)

Les Wexner, billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime Epstein associate, has poured significant money into Republican politics over the years. He was a high-profile donor in the 2012 presidential race, hosting fundraisers for Mitt Romney and giving $250,000 to the pro-Romney “Restore Our Future” super PAC. In 2015, he chipped in another $500,000 to Jeb Bush’s “Right to Rise” PAC, solidifying his reputation as one of Ohio’s most influential GOP financiers. For decades, Wexner’s name appeared in donor rolls tied to party machinery, think tanks, and candidates who benefited from his wealth.

Then came the dramatic “I quit the GOP” moment in 2018, when Wexner loudly declared he was leaving the Republican Party, citing differences with its modern direction. But, irony alert—despite the public distancing act, he was back in the donor headlines in 2022, cutting a $250,000 check to the Republican Governors Association. So much for walking away. It seems that, like many billionaires, Wexner can’t quite resist keeping his influence alive where it counts—inside the political cash pipeline.
