REVEALED: Leader of far-right group donated thousands to presidential candidate Ted Cruz [SMEAR]
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 06/21/2015 11:04:57 PM PDT by BunnySlippers

A leader of the group that South Carolina shooter Dylann Roof praised in his online 'manifesto' has donated large sums of money to conservative Republican candidates such as Senator Ted Cruz.

Earl Holt III, 62, is the president of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a St. Louis-based group that Roof says helped influence him in his views on race.

Roof, 21, is being investigated for terrorism after shooting nine black people at a Charleston bible study group on Wednesday and saying that he wanted the act to start a race war.

It has now been revealed that Holt has donated $65,000 to conservative politicians, including three current presidential candidates, while spewing racism on Internet message boards.

This is straight up smear of Ted Cruz IMO. Linking the So Carolina killings to supporting him.

BTW, this is the real title:

Cruz has already reported he is returning that money.

Candidates are slipping by not spotting and returning such contributions. This is fair game and not a smear. Clinton and others have been equally chastised for who they accept money from.

The Mail leans heavily left, but it will publish anything that they think will drive traffic to their site. They print a lot of nasty gossip. They don’t care about the people they hurt; they simply care about generating revenue.

I love the Mail.

They are really mad at Hillary these days since she threw them off the campaign trail.

BTW, they are the largest online news source after the NYT.

Very simple, it is long common practice for candidates to be called on for who they accept money from. If I recall correctly, Clinton, as one example, was repeated criticized for taking money from people that was later found embarrassing. That Holt has given most to Cruz and that an $8,500 donor was not scrutinized is shame on the campaign. It is not like Holt or his group is unknown. My $250 donation might not get more than the thank you letter I got, but a savvy campaign should be doing more with $8,500 donors, first, who they are, then follow-up. This now becomes embarrassing distraction for Cruz.

What? Ted Cruz knows a guy, who knows a guy, who another guy once heard of? That’s outrageous!

Curious that the headline alleges that Holt donated to Ted Cruz, but in the article, it's stated that Holt donated to THREE presidential candidates. Why mention only Ted Cruz in the headline? Hmmmmm.

Which part of the DM is accurate in your eyes?

'The CofCC is one of perhaps three websites in the world that accurately and honestly report black-on-white violent crime,' the statement said.

What part of this bothers you?

The left, and the progressive mainstream media will ALWAYS tell you who they fear...and they fear Ted Cruz mightily.

Oh...it’s YOU again. You’re the one who first tries to establish his/her conservative bona fides (by CLAIMING that you’re a Cruz donor) followed quickly by attacks on Cruz, his campaign and/or his supporters.

You’re as transparent as piss on a Sunday morning! You’re fooling no one, Troll.

can we talk about the extremists Rev Wright, Bill Ayers and the islamists who financially supported obama now or is that still forbidden?
