Missouri GOP: Claire McCaskill supporters paying for ads with "dark money"

(From the Missouri Republican Party)

The Missouri Republican Party today released the following statement after nearly $1 million in so-called ‘dark money’ was placed in support of Senator Claire McCaskill.

"Claire McCaskill represents everything that's wrong with Washington, D.C.” said Austin Stukins, Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party. “Like every other career politician, she rails against something until it benefits her own political future. McCaskill should immediately call for these groups to disclose their donors, or take down the advertisements. Otherwise, Claire will confirm what voters already know: she's the biggest hypocrite in Missouri.”

Two independent expenditure groups, both 501c4s, will be placing nearly $1 million in ad buys supporting Claire McCaskill. The two ‘dark money’ entities include Chuck Schumer’s, Super PAC Majority Forward, and the Vote Vets Fund. Both groups are notoriously left-leaning entities determined to undermine President Trump and support partisan obstructionists like Claire McCaskill.
