Now You See It, Now You Don't: Hate Group Nod Gone from Diane Harkey's Website
An endorsement from San Diegans for Secure Borders was pulled from 49th congressional district Republican candidate Diane Harkey’s campaign website shortly after it was disclosed the group promotes white nationalist propaganda and attacks Latino and Muslim immigrants as foreign invaders.
Media Matters for America, a Washington, D.C.-based progressive nonprofit with a mission of “comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media,” first pointed out Wednesday that Harkey had touted the San Diegans for Secure Borders endorsement of her.
That disclosure brought out the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee guns, in the form of spokesman Drew Godinich, who said, “Diane Harkey touting a known hate group’s endorsement on her website is beyond disturbing–and for the NRCC [National Republican Congressional Committee] to support a second Orange County congressional candidate who proudly displays their ties to the worst elements of our society is just as disturbing. Harkey and the NRCC should immediately disavow this group.”
The “second Orange County congressional candidate who proudly displays their ties to the worst elements of our society” is a reference to Surf City-based Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s White House), who has endorsed a local school board candidate aligned with the alt right and aligned himself with an alt-right blogger, both of whom have minimized the Holocaust.
