(Via SCF) Seven Republican senators have now been linked to the racial attacks against conservative Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.   The financial report for Thad Cochran’s super PAC was released [last] week and contains two alarming details.
shameful seven
First, it shows that the following seven GOP senators gave a total of $160,000 to Thad Cochran’s super PAC:

    • 1. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — $50,000 — (202) 224-2541FacebookTwitter
    • 2. Bob Corker (R-TN) — $30,000 — (202) 224-3344 — FacebookTwitter
    • 3. Rob Portman (R-OH) — $25,000 —  (202) 224-3353 — FacebookTwitter
    • 4. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — $25,000 — (202) 224-5251 — FacebookTwitter
    • 5. Richard Burr (R-NC) — $20,000 — (202) 224-3154 — FacebookTwitter
    • 6. Roy Blunt (R-MO) — $5,000 — (202) 224-5721 — FacebookTwitter
    • 7. Mike Crapo (R-ID) — $5,000 — (202) 224-6142 — FacebookTwitter

Second, it shows that the PAC then gave a similar amount to a liberal group to run racial attacks against Chris McDaniel.
These Decepticon senators fully funded ads that urged Democrats to “cross over and vote in the republican primary” and claimed that a McDaniel win would be a loss “for race relationships between blacks and whites.”
They also helped pay for fliers that said, “The Tea Party Intends to Prevent You From Voting” and suggested McDaniel would roll back civil rights.
And perhaps worst of all, they helped pay thousand of dollars to Democratic activists to do so called “canvasing” to turn out votes for Cochran.  (read more)
