The pro-Cochran Democratic group All Citizens for Mississippi put out this racist Tea Party flier in Mississippi before the run-off election on Tuesday.
The dishonest ad claimed the Tea Party would not allow blacks from voting.
It was a lie.
The Cochran ad urged Democrats to vote for the incumbent Republican.
Between 25,000 to 35,000 Democrats helped Cochran win the run-off election against Chris McDaniel.
The Huffington Post reported:
An unusual coalition of activists and organizations have united in the hopes of defending Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) in his June 24 runoff against state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-Miss.).
As the Clarion-Ledger reported Tuesday, James “Scooby Doo” Warren, a Democratic political operative, says he is working with the Mississippi Conservatives PAC on a statewide plan to turn out votes for Cochran.
Meanwhile, Bishop Ronnie Crudup, Sr. of the New Horizon Church in Jackson is affiliated with a super PAC called “All Citizens For Mississippi” that has run advertisements and distributed pro-Cochran fliers. The newly-formed PAC shares an address and chief financial officer with the church, raising questions about whether the church is illegally participating in the campaign.
Crudup, who is African-American, told the Associated Press earlier this month that he voted for Cochran in the primary and that he felt his group “couldn’t sit on the sideline” in the runoff.
“We recognized that Mississippi is a red state and more than likely will have a Republican senator, and therefore this decision, which is going to affect every citizen in Mississippi, is going to be made in the Republican primary,” Crudup said. “We therefore determined that we couldn’t sit on the sideline, but that we had to take some actions that spoke to our community about our self-interest when it comes to this race.”
Pro-Cochran groups also ran racist robocalls in Mississippi urging Democrats to vote for Cochran.
