Cowboys for Trump resists reveal of financial contributors

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The support group Cowboys for Trump and its founder Couy Griffin are resisting pressure to disclose financial contributors in what could be a test case of a 2019 New Mexico state law that requires greater disclosures of independent political spending.

Griffin, an Otero County commissioner, is battling state campaign finance regulators in federal court, even as his recent comments about race and politics in the run-up to the November election have been met with outrage among civil rights groups including the NAACP and an array of Democratic New Mexico politicians.

“If our donors and supporters are unmasked and their names are known, then New Mexico is notorious for political hits,” Griffin said. “Their names would be slandered, and they would be attacked for supporting a conservative political movement in New Mexico.”

The New Mexico secretary of state’s office says fines are accruing as Cowboys for Trump ignores an arbitration order to register with the state as a political committee and to disclose contributions and expenditures since January 2019.

“If our donors and supporters are unmasked and their names are known, then New Mexico is notorious for political hits,” Griffin said. “Their names would be slandered, and they would be attacked for supporting a conservative political movement in New Mexico.”

4. Another asshole bunch who think cowboy hats make them look smart.

And that dead coyote around that shithead's neck is a travesty. That poor wild dog had more nobility and innate intelligence than any half-dozen fuckwit members of the Cowboys For Trump will ever have.

5. I'd like to see them try to demonstrate some cowboy skills.
