The leader of a white supremacist group that apparently influenced Dylann Roof, the suspect in the killing of nine African-Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church last week, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican campaigns, including those of 2016 presidential contenders such as Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum and Rand Paul, records show.

Mr. Cruz, a Texas senator, said Sunday night that he would be returning about $8,500 in donations that he had received from the Texas donor, Earl Holt III, who lists himself as president of the Council of Conservative Citizens.

“We just learned this evening that Mr. Holt had contributed to the campaign,” a spokesman for the Cruz campaign said in an email to The New York Times. “We will be immediately refunding all those donations.”

Mr. Paul’s campaign said Monday that it planned to send $2,250 received from Mr. Holt to a victims’ fund set up in the wake of the shooting.

“RandPAC is donating the funds to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund to assist the victims families,” said Sergio Gor, a spokesman for the campaign. Mr. Holt made four separate donations to the Paul campaign last year, records show. The campaign could not confirm the total received but said that all the money it identified from the white supremacist leader would be donated to the fund.

A manifesto that appeared on a website registered to Mr. Roof said that the manifesto’s author had first learned of “brutal black-on-white murders” from the Council of Conservative Citizens’ website.

Mr. Holt, in a statement posted online in his name, said he was not surprised to learn that Mr. Roof had found out about “black-on-white violent crime” from his group because, he said, it was one of the few that had the courage to disclose “the seemingly endless incidents involving black-on-white murder.” But he said his group does not advocate violence and should not be held responsible for the shootings.

The group is regarded by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a leading authority on hate crimes, as a white supremacist extremist organization that opposes “race mixing” as a religious affront and that vilifies blacks as an inferior race.

Spokesmen for Mr. Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, and Mr. Paul, a senator from Kentucky, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the donations.

Mr. Holt, who identified himself in some donation records as a Texas “slumlord,” has also given money to a number of other current and former Republican members of Congress, including Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, former Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Representative Steve King of Iowa, and former Representative Todd Akin of Missouri.

This would be a non issue.
Just as child rapist mega donor who frequently met with Obama was a non issue for Obama.

Wonder if the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund will send the money on back to Mr. Holt since it is so "tainted?"

Let's not forget about the Clinton foundation donors. :) Maybe it is time Rand approached the subject a little bit more forcefully ?

If he does, he will have big political dividends.
Absolutely no reason for him to be timid in dealing with "uncontrolled, free" media.

Unless they refused to allow a tainted war criminal who has blood of many innocent children on his hands from giving eulogy for slain Pastor, any dollar bills are not going to be a burden on their souls no matter how tainted.

Rand can use this as an attack against Hillary. He gives back funds from questionable donors, Hillary wont.

Shhhhh - Top Obama bundler accused of child rape: Column

Brett M. Decker 8:06 p.m. EST November 20, 2014
Influential gay rights advocate and top Obama donor, Terry Bean, and alleged former boyfriend arrested.

Conservatives complain that President Obama gets a free pass from the media, which acts as a de-facto public-relations shop for the Democrat in the White House. Never has that charge seemed truer than now as an ugly rape scandal unfolds on the West Coast.
On Wednesday, Portland, Ore. police arrested (http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/11/terrence_bean_indicted_a_lane.html)Terrence Patrick Bean (http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/11/terrence_bean_indicted_a_lane.html), who has been charged with two felony counts of having sex with a minor last year. This man is not just any old guy (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/local/2014/11/19/portland-man-arrested-for-sex-crime-lawyers-claim-extortion/19294553/) accused of having sex with a 15-year-old – he's a big-money Democratic donor and liberal political activist with connections inside the Obama White House. Bean raised more than a half-million (http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/11/terrence_bean_indicted_a_lane.html) dollars for Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

The NY Times is basically trying to not-so-subtly imply that ALL Republicans are hardcore racists.

No, he won't, because the MSM doesn't care about "donations" unless they can be used to paint conservatives as "racist". Rand shouldn't play this game. If the SPLC not liking a group is the standard, then Rand can't accept any donations because every last one of us is a member of a "Hate Group" according to them.

Wouldn't that expose them and be a good thing ?

I am totally shocked.

Why would a hardcore leftist media outlet try to character-assassinate non-leftists via baseless accusations of racism?

It is incredible.
