WASHINGTON — Two U.S. senators and one congressman from Nebraska and Iowa received political donations from the leader of a white supremacist group cited by Charleston church slaying suspect Dylann Roof.

The Guardian newspaper first reported that Earl Holt of Texas has given more than $60,000 to Republican campaigns in recent years. Holt is the leader of the Council of Conservative Citizens.

Those donations included $1,000 to Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and $2,000 to Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., in the last cycle. Both won in open-seat contests in their respective states.

Tyler Grassmeyer, Sasse’s deputy chief of staff, provided a written statement to The World-Herald.

3. I get the feeling there's a whole lot of racist money donated to a whole bunch of Republicans.

A bunch and they are scared shitless that the entire lid will blow off the longer racism stays in the headlines.

Perhaps the GOP figures if they hurry up and give us "a bone", the spotlight will stop brightening all their dirty racist closets?

They are caving a lot faster than I thought they would.

got some of that.....quite a list of racists at the links I downloaded for later use. Even a lone RW congressman who happened to be black received some money from this clown, so I guess that makes holt not a racist.......

6. It is not "Muslim Sharia law supporter donates to Democrats" so the media will not care much that

domestic terrorists and supporters have given money to Republicans.

Another thing has has to be shredded and changed.
