'It’s a racket': Failed GOP candidate rages after vendors pocketed millions off sketchy fundraising video
On Tuesday, The Washington Post published a damning analysis of how a GOP consulting firm pocketed millions from the campaign of Kim Klacik, a heavily-touted GOP candidate who ran an unsuccessful long-shot bid in a heavily blue district of Baltimore, Maryland last year.
Klacik received national attention and a prime speaking slot at the Republican National Convention after a viral online ad featuring her walking through run-down neighborhoods of Baltimore and claiming that Democrats had abandoned the city's Black residents. The ad was even touted by former President Donald Trump.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) once joked that someone could kill Sen. Ted Cruz (R-X) on the Senate floor and they wouldn't be found guilty even if they were tried by the U.S. Senate, CNN reported at the time.
According to Rolling Stone, Cruz's former college roommate Craig Mazin joked, "One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz."
President Joe Biden said Tuesday the United States would have sufficient vaccine supply by the end of May to inoculate the US adult population.
"We're now on track to have enough vaccine supply for every adult in America by the end of May," said Biden, who last month had forecast it would take until the end of July to amass that many doses.
