Cruz 2018: FEC gives opposition a Nerf dart
By Tim Thomas | May 27, 2017, 03:37pm | @AReasoningFaith In a move sure to stun no one who’s been paying attention, the Federal Election Commission reported on Thursday that Ted Cruz For Senate campaign of 2012 failed to properly report loans obtained through Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.
The action led Cruz to respond “Is that still a thing?”
Okay, that’s not what he really said, but he couldn’t be blamed for thinking it. If you listen close, you can almost hear Heidi in the background, saying, “Are they still talking about that?”
The audit report is related to what Cruz has long claimed to be a simple reporting error and that the mistake was not – as some have speculated – an effort to hide anything. The fact that the loans were revealed in other documents filed by Cruz seems to back up that position.
From the Fox News story:
“This is old news-simply the conclusion of the same inadvertent reporting error that was widely reported during the presidential campaign,” Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told Fox News. “Our campaign has been working with the FEC, in a process that actually started several years ago, to determine what amendments should be made to our campaign finance reports from the 2011-12 election cycle.”
