Hours after President Obama officially proclaimed today World Autism Awareness Day, Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown hand-delivered a $35,545 check to the Autism Consortium in Boston.
But while the donation was coincidentally timed, Brown did not choose the charity nor did he name the amount, his Senate election rival Elizabeth Warren did.
After an oil lobbying group ran radio ads on his behalf, Brown was required to donate half the dollar amount spent on the ads to the charity of Warren’s choice under the stipulations of a pledge the two signed banning funding or advertisements from outside groups in their Senate race.
