Ted Cruz's election manager's 'mocking' House of Cards style radio ad 'contributed' to suicide of Missouri governor candidate

Tom Schweich, a Republican candidate for governor of Missouri, killed himself on February 26 last year at his home in Clayton, St Louis His political mentor, former Senator John Danforth, has said Ted Cruz's campaign manager Jeff Roe contributed to his death Roe took responsibility for an advert that criticized Schweich's appearance and said he looked like the deputy sheriff in The Andy Griffith Show Mr Danforth spoke to Schweich two days before his death and said he was upset about the advert

Ted Cruz's campaign manager contributed to the death of Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich, it has been claimed.

Schweich's political mentor, former Senator John Danforth, has said Jeff Roe must shoulder some of the blame for his death last year.

He also questioned Cruz's decision to employ Roe as a senior strategist in his election campaign.

Roe has firmly rejected any responsibility for the suicide and police have not in any way assigned him with legal culpability for Schweich's death.

Schweich, a Republican candidate for governor, killed himself on February 26 at his home in Clayton, St Louis.

A year ago, Roe was working for Catherine Hanaway, who was Schweich's leading primary opponent.

The race quickly turned ugly when one of Hanaway's supporters, John Hancock, started telling people Schweich was Jewish.

He was in fact Episcopalian, though of Jewish ancestry.

Schweich suspected Hanaway's allies had started an anti-Semitic whisper campaign against him - a prospect he found deeply disturbing, according to reports from local and national publications.

So, it is Hillary, then, for you. Too bad.

I don’t know where you find this stuff (or make it) but I am definitely saving a couple of links.

I have never seen Barbie operate an automatic weapon before.

LOL

I can’t believe how many are burning in. I only went around with libbylu and that was rather minor, compared to a couple.

That being said, I got 5 cents that a couple more will be back to TDS’ing with Townhall, WSJ, NRO and then the usual leftist hit pieces on Trump while making Saint Ted the Incalculable magnificent.

Yes, I do believe I’ve coined a new one. LOL

Almost as good as Stabby the Clown!

I could be out 20 cents if I’m wrong. Which is just about all I have these Obama days.

Many, many blushing thank-yous. ;) About 50% of the GIFs, I make myself; the others, I've scrounged in various places (including, on occasion, right here). The static memes are nearly always my own, cobbled up via the ever-useful Meme Generator.

Use any/all, as best pleases you. (And that goes for everyone else here, as well!)

But that graphic is awesome. Good job!!!

Another ridiculous attempt to attack Cruz. Won’t be long till Trumpets start using nasty language and insulting Cruzers and their candidate.

On the other hand some thug (Manafort) who worked for Ford over Reagan and for a Putin puppet in the Ukraine was a GREAT hire. ;)

Gary Johnson is a great guy. I knew him personally when he ran for NM governor. But he is a bit loony on some typical Libertarian issues. I like him, but would support Trump vet him for president. That being said, I would still much prefer Cruz to both of them.
