Romney Donor Pat Riley Skips WH Visit Due to 'Flu'

Miami Heat president Pat Riley did not travel with the team to visit President Barack Obama at the White House on Monday because he had the “flu.”

Riley donated to Obama’s opponent – Republican Mitt Romney — in 2012.

Campaign finance records show Riley made at least two $2,500 donations to Romney during the 2012 campaign:

RILEY, PATRICK

MIAMI BEACH,FL 33139 MIAMI HEAT 10/26/12 $2,500 Romney, Mitt (R)

RILEY, PATRICK

MIAMI BEACH,FL 33139 MIAMI HEAT 10/26/12 $2,500 Romney, Mitt (R)

As is custom, the Heat, who are the defending NBA champions, made their traditional White House visit on Monday to be honored for winning the title.
