Another example of a recent
@OhioCRs email following similar script: attack @AOC/another liberal, plead poverty, ask for money. The@OhioCRs have been notably aggressive e-fundraisers this year. Only thing really new about today’s “domestic terrorist” email is the subject line.pic.twitter.com/qXHGlicSAF

One Q that's still unanswered about the
@OhioCRs: Where was the $$ it was raising through these email solicitations going? Chairm@tomferrall told@darreldrowland at@DispatchAlerts that the proceeds were split 50-50 w/ a fundraising firm he won't identifyhttps://www.dispatch.com/news/20190411/ohio-college-gop-apologizes-to-aoc-for-email-calling-her-domestic-terrorist …Show this thread -
I'm no expert in Ohio state campaign $$ law, specifically. Would a group such as the
@OhioCRs need to register as a state PAC, and therefore disclose financial info, if was raising large amounts of $$ for political purposes? cc:@MoneyInPolitics@CampaignLegal@Ohio_PoliticsShow this thread -
It appears
@tomferrall, the@OhioCRs chairman at the center of this@AOC "domestic terrorist" flap, is now running for national co-chairman of the@CRNC.pic.twitter.com/GLLdjLUG04
