The California NAACP president whose ballot argument supporting Proposition 20 appears in voter information guides is being paid tens of thousands of dollars by the campaign to serve as a consultant, records show.

Alice Huffman has a long history of serving as a paid consultant for ballot measures endorsed by her NAACP group – she has received hundreds of thousands of dollars since 2005 – but Proposition 20 marks the first time that she can recall signing a ballot argument for such campaigns.

Huffman said she was not paid to sign the ballot argument sent recently to more than 11 million California homes but that her private business, AC Public Affairs, was hired by the campaign to contact other minority groups in boosting support for the redistricting measure.

The same racists who want to make a child molester’s house a state park. Nice!

I’m not shocked at all. Every single time you see the left involved in something, you know that the ones at the top are corrupt, feathering their own nests and taking care of family members. They don’t even pretend to deny it, they always answer with a brazen “so what?” knowing that everyone else on the left does the same and won’t call them out, and the media will cover for them in the long run.
