Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz has returned money given to his campaign by the head of an organization linked to the suspected gunman in last week's Charleston church shooting.
The Cruz campaign said in a statement obtained by Fox News that it was returning money donated by Earl Holt III, the head of the Council of Conservative Citizens. The donations were first reported by The Guardian.
"Senator Cruz believes that there is no place for racism in society," the statement read. "Upon learning about Mr. Holt's background and his contributions to the campaign, he immediately instructed that all of those donations be returned." The Guardian and The New York Times reported that Holt's donations to Cruz amounted to $8,500 since 2012, though that amount was not confirmed by the campaign.
The Guardian also reported that Holt had donated to the campaigns of Sen. Rand Paul and former Sen. Rick Santorum. The paper reports that Holt contributed $1,750 and $1,500 to those campaigns, respectively.
Santorum spokesman Matthew Beynon told The Guardian, "Senator Santorum does not condone or respect racist or hateful comments of any kind. Period. The views the Senator campaigns on are his own and he is focused on uniting America, not dividing her."

Careful reading this on an empty stomach. The founder and author of the CofCC principles spoke, along with a StormFront members, and a South African WS labor leader.
The only evidence of an international connection, not mentioned by Cohen or Dees, is that several in the media have determined through a simple search on the Internet that Roof's website was hosted by a Russian server, apparently located in Moscow. At a time of news about Russian and Chinese hackers getting access to federal and other websites in the U.S., this seems mighty interesting and newsworthy. Does this mean that Russian interests had advance knowledge of Roof's manifesto and murder plans? This seems worthy of follow-up, but is not mentioned by the SPLC in its Times op-ed.
Renew America (which seems to be Allan Keyes' website and organization or maybe he is just heavily involved in it) There may well be nothing to this article, this is the first place though I have seen this and it is a bit curious.
A bit of a scoop by Renew America.
Well in Cruz’s defense, we are talking 8 grand which is chump change in the big picture. If it was 3 million out of the money he raised...well that might be a question that needs to be asked. I think he is innocent in this one.
I had not.
OK, I never heard of them. What do they represent?
If they are guilty of Posting Black on White Crime Statistics, I guess I am as Guilty as them.
I do it all the time when “debating” Liberals on many Boards. It appears Facts are an issue to the purposely Ignorant.
As a Primer, Whites are 20 times more likely to Murdered by Blacks that Blacks are Murdered by Whites.
I assume I will be Banned by FR and I will be getting back all the Monthly Contributions I have made simply because of my Racially Charged comments. LOL
When you die stormy and his ilk can dig you up and rebury you somewhere reserved for folks who were part of white privilege like Bedford Forrest
Thomas Jefferson
George Patton and Washington
No worries it’ll be good company..I’ll be there of course
It cause you don’t know it stormer is arguably out race baiter with the longest service here....and a foul tongue
Damn
You do make sense on occasion
Maybe you can coach stormy
That was a good post
Remind me of that from time to time
I like to see people stand up to racists are in our midst concern trolls
(Hands wringing)
Have you noticed that it is usually those who are too mentally challenged to understand how our smearing and clubbing our best conservative bets, allowing the Left to steal the nation (mostly in the last 6 years), are the most likely to try to infer that Cruz ain’t all that smart?
Wait, you mean Ted Cruz — and not his campaign finance team — reviews every one of the over 100,000 contributions his campaign takes in? I didn’t realize he micromanaged his campaign to that extent. How does he have time to travel on the stump and do other stuff?
> “Are we to believe any of these folks never heard of the CCC and what they represent?”
I’ve never heard of it. I don’t think most people are able to keep up with every fringe group out there. I’m just glad to know that Ted Cruz’ campaign team is on top of it and found out the details before the leftist MSM got hold of it and played it nonstop.
Ted’s got a helluva team working for him. That’s a good sign.
Citizen’s Councils - the forerunner of the CCC - have been around since the 1950s. If you haven’t heard of them or aren’t familiar with their positions, then you’ve got a pretty flimsy grasp of modern American history.
> “If you haven’t heard of them or aren’t familiar with their positions, then you’ve got a pretty flimsy grasp of modern American history.”
Bullsh*t noted.
“Citizen’s Councils - the forerunner of the CCC - have been around since the 1950s. If you haven’t heard of them or aren’t familiar with their positions, then you’ve got a pretty flimsy grasp of modern American history.”
Why is it you seem to have an inordinate amount of knowledge about this group? Like the kind of knowledge a charter member might have. You seem to have a card carrying grasp of the history of this group.
Ted Cruz Ping!
