About a week ago, I wrote on Kos about Rupert Murdoch’s $2 million gift to the RGA and Chamber of Commerce aimed at buying the Ohio’s Governor’s race. Murdoch said as much when he told a reporter he’d given to the RGA because of his “friendship with John Kasich.”
I’ve managed a lot of races and I’ve seen plenty of shenanigans, but even I can’t believe the lines this guy is crossing in order to propel former Fox News host Congressman John Kasich into the Ohio Governor’s mansion. In fact, just days ago, Murdoch made a second donation to the RGA for another $250,000.
The influx of Murdoch’s corporate money is bad enough – but even more infuriating is the manner in which this man continues to let Kasich thumb his nose at the law and explicitly fundraise on air.
