Does highlight the tunnel vision of the PC party brass to not have anticipated this problem and not nipped it in the bud earlier.

People like Chandler should be nowhere near any respectable party, left, right or centre. Spewing vitriol and social rhetoric doesn't belong.
HOWEVER... if you don't want this kind of person in your party, the correct thing to do is to disallow them BEFORE they drop $120,000. The PC party should reimburse him, with the caveat that any of his contributors should be able to get their money back.
