The text from Eric Flores, the Republican nominee for Texas’s 34th Congressional District, is brief. It says, “Attachment: $5,000 Check … Pres. Trump just authorized it,” a reference to the financial windfall that Donald Trump promised for every adult in America if the GOP retains power in the midterms. It is followed by a link to access the “portal” to “submit approval ASAP.”
But like many text-based scams, the link does not follow through as advertised. Instead, it goes to a donation website for Flores.
It’s unclear who is behind the website; in one section, it says that it is paid for by Eric Flores for Congress and another says it is paid for by WinRed, the Republican National Committee’s fundraising platform, and “Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.”
Damn it, why does it have to be the hispanic guy! Like cmon dude! You gotta be 100% empty brain or piss for brains to do something like that when you yourself are what they hate!!! WTF!
Rafael Cruz seems to be getting along ok so far. When you’re rich and connected you don’t have to care about those “others”, even if they’re the same race as you.
