Dem candidate paid blogger who amplified remarks describing Obama as ‘a god–mn n—–‘
A blogger who shared racist remarks about former President Barack Obama was paid by Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez’s campaign for “advertising services” on two separate occasions.
In November 2014, Juan Montoya, who operates the El Rrun Rrun blog, amplified the insensitive comments that were penned by Jerry McHale, another blogger who was revealed in July to have made numerous racist and sexist remarks through his own blog that targeted GOP Rep. Mayra Flores.
In the post shared to Montoya’s blog, McHale, who was also paid by the Gonzalez campaign for “advertising services” through his own blog, made racist comments through “one of his alter personalities” known as Dr. G.F. McHale-Scully.
Describing Republican politicians who he believed the GOP should prop up in elections, McHale stated: “The voters look at the Cameron County Republicans as viable options. If the party of the rich, racists and religious right ran Terry Ray or Bud Richards or Harry McNair, the Democrats would prevail in landslides, but Tony Garza, Cascos and Garcia aren’t reactionary ideologues, born-again Christians or prudes.”
“They like to f— and drink. They are reasonable individuals who aren’t ranting and raving that Barack Obama is a god–mn n—– who is bringing the world to an end,” he added. “They aren’t wasting any rhetoric opposing gay marriage, abortion or legalizing marijuana.”
As of Thursday afternoon, advertisements for Gonzalez’s campaign remain active on Montoya’s blog, leading those who inquire to the Texas candidate’s Facebook page.
In a statement to Fox, the Gonzalez campaign insisted that it has “already cut ties with the author of this post” and that the language used in the blog post is “abhorrent.”
