"The leader of a white supremacist group that appears to have influenced accused Charleston church killer Dylann Roof made thousands of dollars of campaign contributions to various Republican campaigns, according to federal records and news reports. There is no evidence that the campaigns, including those of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Rick Santorum, were aware of the group’s background and they were moving quickly yesterday to disassociate themselves from it, with Cruz’s campaign the first to announce that it would return money it had received."
Campaigns distance themselves from white supremacist leader s donations - The Washington Post
The current and oft repeated meme by the conservative echo chamber is that the Democratic Party is the party of racism, and yet where did this racist leader send their campaign 'donations'?
There is no slam intended against Cruz, Paul or Santorum, no doubt Clinton and others seeking their parties nomination are not to keen on who, only on how much. The point of this tread is to once again remind the readers that donated money is far less about free speech than the other meme kicking about the conservative echo chamber. What we don't know, is if Sect. Clinton also received said 'donations' - I'd be surprised if she did.
I do question why Cruz would return the money to a white supremacist group, better to donate it to a group which does good, not evil.
