What’s the connection between racist mass murderer Dylann Roof and the GOP? Roof attributed some of his racist beliefs to the website of Earl Holt III, president of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist group whipping up the unhinged with endless stories of black inferiority, unnatural race mixing, and black on white crime. Holt also gives tens of thousands to political candidates, and, yep, every one a Republican. Presidential contenders Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum and Rand Paul have all received Holt’s largess; with only Cruz shedding the hate money so far. Current House extremist Steve King, R-Iowa, and former House extremist Michele Bachmann, have also padded their coffers with Holt contributions. And some folks still wonder why the GOP has trouble cracking double digits with the black vote at election time.
