The pro-Cochran Democratic group All Citizens for Mississippi put out this racist Tea Party flier in Mississippi before the run-off election on Tuesday.

The dishonest ad claimed the Tea Party would not allow blacks from voting.

It was a lie.



The Cochran ad urged Democrats to vote for the incumbent Republican.

Between 25,000 to 35,000 Democrats helped Cochran win the run-off election against Chris McDaniel.

The Huffington Post reported:

An unusual coalition of activists and organizations have united in the hopes of defending Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) in his June 24 runoff against state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-Miss.). As the Clarion-Ledger reported Tuesday, James “Scooby Doo” Warren, a Democratic political operative, says he is working with the Mississippi Conservatives PAC on a statewide plan to turn out votes for Cochran. Meanwhile, Bishop Ronnie Crudup, Sr. of the New Horizon Church in Jackson is affiliated with a super PAC called “All Citizens For Mississippi” that has run advertisements and distributed pro-Cochran fliers. The newly-formed PAC shares an address and chief financial officer with the church, raising questions about whether the church is illegally participating in the campaign.

Pro-Cochran groups also ran racist robocalls in Mississippi urging Democrats to vote for Cochran.
