Kris Kobach Outed As A White Supremacist By Leaked Trump Vetting Docs


Leaked Trump vetting documents list white supremacy as one of the red flags for Trump’s adviser on voter suppression Kris Kobach.

Axios got the vetting docs and wrote, “One heading in the document about Kris Kobach, in the running for Homeland Security Secretary, listed “white supremacy” as a vulnerability. It cited accusations from past political opponents that he had ties to white supremacist groups.”

Kobach was in charge of the commission that Trump appointed to try to federalize voter suppression. Kobach has been up for numerous jobs in the Trump administration, including Homeland Security Secretary and overseeing Trump’s immigration policy.

The Trump Administration Welcomes White Supremacists

The White House has tried to squash reports of the president’s white supremacy, but even Trump’s own vetting documents show that a man who the president appears to be dying to give a job to is a white supremacist. It is not your imagination. The same president who defended white supremacists in Charlottesville, called Mexicans rapists, and wants to build a wall to keep nonwhite people out of the United States has no problem with hiring a white supremacist.

The current president has surrounded himself with racists most likely because he is a racist.

The Republican candidate for governor of Kansas, Kris Kobach, who has close ties to the Trump administration, has accepted financial donations from white nationalist sympathizers and has for more than a decade been affiliated with groups espousing white supremacist views.

Recent financial disclosures show that Kobach, a driving force behind dozens of proposals across the US designed to suppress minority voting and immigrant rights, has accepted thousands of dollars from white nationalists. Donors include a former official in the Trump administration who was forced to resign from the Department of Homeland Security this year after emails showed he had close ties to white supremacists and once engaged in an email exchange about a dinner party invitation that was described as “Judenfrei”, or free of Jews.

Currently the Kansas secretary of state, Kobach is running in a tight race against the Democrat Laura Kelly. The election has drawn the concern of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), after the single polling place located in Dodge City was moved outside the town, in what some claimed to be an attempt to suppress the Hispanic vote.

Kobach, who was vice-chairman of the Trump administration’s now disbanded election-fraud commission, is known for his zero-tolerance approach to undocumented migrants and his staunch support for voter ID laws, which critics say unfairly and illegally target minority voters.

But Kobach has gained less attention for his long history of associations with groups that espouse white nationalist views and the significant financial support they have given him since he launched his political career in 2004.

Interstate Cross Check = stopping African Americans from voting (because they might

9. No shit!

Of course. Not news really to those of us who have had to watch him wreck their state along with his buddies, especially Brownback. Obviously he is at peace with those groups. Glad to see this outed in a way that is more than just us screaming from the back of the bus.

10. Most likely because he is a racist?

Seriously?

Be brave and just say he is a fucking racist.
