Democrats
Accuse
Cornel West Campaign
Of Accepting Illegal
In-Kind
Contributions |
|
"The Democratic
National Committee
(DNC) filed a
complaint with the
Federal Elections
Commission (FEC)
last week claiming
West’s bids
in Arizona and North
Carolina took
illegal in-kind
contributions from
Republican-aligned
groups. The
complaint alleges
that West’s 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. " |

Paid Operatives
Linked To A GOP Firm
Are Helping Cornel
West In Arizona |
|
"A dozen paid
operatives
registered with
Arizona’s secretary
of state on Sunday
to collect
signatures on behalf
of left-wing
presidential
candidate Cornel
West,
listing their
employer as a
Republican-leaning
firm that recently
worked for GOP House
candidate Blake
Masters.
Arizona, unlike most
states, requires
paid or out-of-state
petition-gatherers
to register with the
state. On their
public
registrations, some
of circulators
working to help West
get on the ballot in
Arizona struggled to
spell his name,
listing it as
“Carnel west” or
“Cornelle West.” All
checked boxes
indicating they are
out of state and
that they are being
paid. All listed
Wells Marketing LLC
— or some variation,
with a few
misspellings — as
the company they are
working for." |

"

presidential
candidate Cornel
West and his
running mate, Melina
Abdullah, defended
their
pro-Palestinian
views Thursday night
in their first joint

ceasefire,
repeatedly refused
to criticize Hamas
for its actions in
the war and opted
not to condemn the
group for the
October 7 terrorist

‘Slightly Racist’ As
Running Mate
|

"California
professor and Black
Lives Matter
activist Milena
Abdullah — announced
Wednesday as
independent
presidential
candidate Cornel
West’s VP pick —
has regularly pushed
defunding police
departments and is
on record claiming
“virtually
everything is
racist” — even being
a Taylor Swift fan.
Abdullah, 51, is the
co-founder of the
Los Angeles BLM
chapter" |

Cornel West Is The
Charlatan Of The
Year |
|
"The independent
candidate for
president doesn’t
care that he might
spoil Biden’s
reelection—because
all he cares about
is himself." |

Why Cornel West Is
Broke |
|
"In 2002, he blamed
his financial
troubles on other
factors, such as his
soon-to-be ex-wife’s
propensity to spend
money on Chanel
clothing, upscale
dining and antique
furniture. More
recently, after news
about his tax liens
surfaced, West
elaborated on the
genesis of his debt
problems, suggesting
the student loans he
incurred as an
undergraduate put
him in a “black
hole” that he could
never escape. That’s
nonsense. After
three decades in the
public eye, West has
earned more than
enough money to pay
back his student
loans. Without
enormous earnings,
West would not owe
the federal
government so much
in unpaid taxes (he
still has about
$483,000 in
outstanding tax
liens today). The
real explanation for
West’s financial
problems:
recklessness.
Despite his
professorial
appearance—West is
famous for his
toothy smile and W.
E. B. Du
Bois-inspired,
three-piece suits—he
has spent and lived
wildly, impregnating
and abandoning
multiple women,
leaving him with
significant divorce
and child-support
payments, some of
which he failed to
pay. If government
leadership is
largely about
managing money and
maintaining
relationships, it’s
hard to imagine
anyone else in the
field who is less
prepared for the job
than Cornel West." |
