Texas' Ted Cruz and Lamar Smith Provided Thousands in Financial Support to Embattled GOP Rep. Steve
Despite condemnation by fellow Republicans for a recent racially charged remark, Rep. Steve King has raked in hefty campaign contributions from three of Texas' most prominent GOP figures.
Sen. Ted Cruz, former Rep. Lamar Smith of San Antonio and Rep. Kevin Brady of Houston each provided thousands of dollars to the nine-term Iowa congressman, according to research by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Cruz was a contender to be the Republicans' 2016 presidential nominee, while Smith chaired the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and Brady is a ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have dog-piled King following an interview last week in the New York Times, in which he appeared to defend white supremacy.
