In her interview Wednesday, Harris acknowledged for the first time that Wade had paid for the dinner at Citronelle, reversing a statement from her congressional spokeswoman earlier this year.
But in the interview, Harris also said her campaign had, at some point, "reimbursed" the restaurant.
When asked how she could have reimbursed a business that was owed no money -- Wade paid the bill that evening -- she abruptly ended the interview and walked off.
Her spokesman called back an hour later and asked a reporter not to publish anything Harris had said Wednesday night about the dinner.
On Thursday, Harris' campaign released a two-paragraph statement that differed from her explanation a day earlier. It stated that Harris thought her "campaign would be reimbursing" her share of the meal but later found out that hadn't happened.
To resolve any questions, the statement said, "I have donated to a local Florida charity $100 which will more than adequately compensate for the cost of my beverage and appetizer."
Harris spokesman Chris Ingram said the donation was made Thursday to Global Dominion Impact Ministries. He would not answer any other questions about the dinner -- including the cost of the meal
Wow! She's the smartest and most prominent republican in Florida, and this is the best she can do? |

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the U.S. Senate candidate was recently wined and dined to the tune of $2,800 by a lobbyist.
Defense contractor, Mitchell Wade, picked up the bill at one of the most exclusive restaurants in the nation’s capitol.
Earlier this year, Wade pleaded guilty to bribing a California congressional representative.
Harris has reportedly told the Sentinel that she was unaware that the meal was so costly.
As if the COST of the bribe really matters!
However, her former campaign strategist says he had conversations with Harris about the costly meal.

The amazing thing is that she is the smartest republican in America. They all look up to her like she is Mother Theresa. |

Even the GOP in Florida is trying to get her to quit the race, but she insists on going it on her own. Jeb has walked as far from her as he can get. She is rich enough to go it on her own, and has pledged her entire fortune to do it. |
