Ghoulish criminal kingpin and head of the National Republican Campaign Senate Committee Rick Scott has been forced to cut back campaign advertising support for his rogues gallery of Republican Senate candidates – feckless quack Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, Reptilian Humanoid Blake Masters in Arizona, and demented conspiracy theorist Ron “RonAnon” Johnson in Wisconsin – canceling $10 million worth of spots reserved in the three states, the New York Times reports.
The Times doesn’t go too deep into it beyond noting that the move comes amid a general slowdown in online small-dollar fundraising for the GOP. Still, it’s kind of impressive that the guy in charge of the NRSC is a white collar criminal who masterminded the largest Medicare fraud in history but apparently can’t use that experience to figure out how to “creatively bookkeep” enough money to keep his shitty candidates on television constantly. Could be an early sign of a larger problem facing the GOP in the final stretch before the midterms.
