Lies and scare tactics again. O"Rourke's campaign made a charitable donation to a non-profit organization which assists immigrants who are already here.

Nothing whatsoever to do with those making their way north.

Good grief, did no one ever teach any of your Trumpites how to do basic research?? Or is it that being honest is the real problem, rather than not researching your fake claims?

Meanwhile, good luck trying to see this in the liberal mainstream media.

Federal campaign finance laws allow campaigns to spend money on charitable donations and it sounds like they’re just providing food, water, and medicine to asylum seekers. If they’re doing that through churches (which it sounds like), those are c3 organizations. Did I miss something?

Not only are charitable donations and purchases allowed, they’re also allowed to give gifts to people not affiliated with the campaign.

The whole video falls apart for anyone who can read the link above. That took 30 seconds for me to find.

If it's so above board and charitable, why so sneaky and hoping the wrong person doesn't find out? More will come out about this. We will find out more about what laws are broken here. Pretending that their intentions are honorable is conniving and disgusting

You can say that they are "helping charity" but these people are being paid to invade a country. That is not charity. These people who are behind this are causing harm to our country and if one American loses their life or is raped or assaulted in any way by one of these illegals, I hope those behind them coming here get life in prison if not the death penalty.

It's not going to end well for Beto.

No one is paying them to invade...unless you count the Republicans who hire them when they get here.

Project Veritas? That's the same group that got arrested with federal charges for those phony Planned Parenthood films. They edit videos by stringing together statements taken out of context to make the people being recorded look like they're saying things they're not. They are pure slime.
