Democrats accuse Cornel West campaign of accepting illegal in-kind contributions - The Hillsurprise surprise:
Democrats are accusing Republican operatives of boosting the campaign of Independent presidential candidate Cornel West in North Carolina and Arizona, as ballot access fights rage in key swing states.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) last week claiming Wests bids in Arizona and North Carolina took illegal in-kind contributions from Republican-aligned groups.
The complaint alleges that Wests campaign took on about $240,000 worth of petitioning services provided by two GOP-aligned groups, Wells Marketing LLC and the staff of Blitz Canvassing.
The West campaign has publicly stated it is not paying any firm for the ballot petition services these firms are providing, while it is simultaneously accepting the benefits of those services, the complaint reads.

(8,190 posts)3. I think Cornel West lost his mind because former President Obama did not
either offer him a position in his Administration or seek his counsel. I think he has always been ego-driven but he has to know he has absolutely NO chance to become President. This whole "campaign" makes me wonder who is paying him to try to siphon off Black votes from the Democratic nominee.
