Kobach's campaign paid Kansan known to post racist comments on white nationalist site

Kansas Republican Kris Kobachs Senate campaign paid an Olathe man who regularly posted hateful comments about Jews and racial minorities on a white nationalist website.
Kobachs campaign paid Joe Suber $500 for field coordinating services in September, according to the Republicans latest campaign finance report. Suber also filed the paperwork with the state of Kansas creating the Kobach for Senate campaign as a limited liability company in August.
Suber has a long history of making anti-Semitic and racist comments on The UNZ Review, a website that includes white nationalist and anti-Semitic content.

Thiel steered six figures into a dark money group that backed Republican Kris Kobachs failed campaign for Kansas governor, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
And now that Kobach is running for U.S. Senate, the PayPal co-founder is upfront about his financial support. Last week at his New York City apartment, Thiel and conservative pundit Ann Coulter co-hosted a fundraiser for the former Kansas secretary of state.
