In extensive detail, the Nevada Independent tracked years of dangerous racist remarks and conspiracy theories perpetuated by millionaire Robert Beadles, a top donor of CA-09 GOP candidate Tom Patti.
Patti accepted thousands of dollars in donations from Beadles, who has dedicated his resources to propping up dangerous, extremist candidates. Patti’s dubious embrace of Beadles should come as no surprise given Patti’s track record of corruption and scandal during his time as a San Joaquin County Supervisor.
The report reveals Patti donor Beadles:
-
Claimed that Donald Trump’s loss was the result of an international Jewish conspiracy just days after January 6th.
-
Asserted that “the undeniable truth is that neither slavery, nor Jim Crow, nor the harshest racism, has decimated the Black family the way the welfare state has.”
-
Claimed that there is little evidence showing slavery and racial discrimination’s legacy had negative effects on Black communities.
-
Claimed that COVID treatment protocols were just ways for the medical community to kill people for profit.
-
Attempted to challenge and delegitimize the 2020 election results.
DCCC Spokesperson Maddy Mundy:
“By bankrolling his campaign for Congress with money from an openly racist, antisemitic election denier like Beadles, Tom Patti is sending a clear message to Californians: he will do anything to grab power.”
