Madison Cawthorn, a Republican candidate for the House from North Carolina, created an attack website accusing a journalist of leaving a job in academia to work for non-white males, like Cory Booker, who aims to ruin white males running for office.
The journalist, Tom Fiedler, who had written favorably about Mr. Cawthorns opponent, is a former dean of the Boston University College of Communications. He volunteered for the 2020 presidential campaign of Senator Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey.
Mr. Fiedler has since written articles and fact-checks about Mr. Cawthorn for a nonprofit news website in North Carolinas 11th congressional district, where Mr. Cawthorn is facing Moe Davis, a former Air Force prosecutor.
The attack on Mr. Fiedler was reported by The Bulwark, which called it a despicable smear echoing racist remarks by Mr. Trump.
In a statement, Mr. Davis said Mr. Cawthorn had proven time and time again that he is unfit for public office.
Revelations about Madison Cawthorns blatantly racist comment come days after over 150 former classmates at Patrick Henry College more than half the entire student body during his time there signed a letter and posted it online calling Mr. Cawthorn a sexual predator who lied and vandalized property while attending the college for a little over a semester in 2016-17, Mr. Davis said.
