Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is a leading figure on President Donald Trump‘s Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. He is also now a paid columnist on a conservative website.

According to the Kansas City Star, Kobach — who has penned seven pieces for Breitbart over the past few months — admitted he is being paid by the website to write a regular column.

Most of Kobach’s pieces have focused on immigration. But his column dated July 3 focused on his work with Trump’s voter fraud commission.

Well, if that's what the author wants to call it. I would call it something else.


Peace

2. he sounds like one of those fake news people Trump is always complaining about

[Tanuki]

3. Might as well just go ahead and say he is paid by Robert Mercer,

laundered through Breitbart.

17. Kremlin has got their fingers in a lot of pies right now...

[not fooled]

4. Here's a tip, KKKris

don't sit too close to bannon--you might catch his lice.

5. Kobach has long struck me as a future dictator of America. (eom)

[Dustlawyer]

6. One of the most dangerous men to Democracy ever!

We need to watch this one closely because he is always up to no good to advance his political ambitions!

[SergeStorms]

7. The meaning of the words.....

'integrity' and 'Republican' are diametrically opposed to each other. Yet another GOP scumbag. Go figure.

[sharedvalues]

8. Better headline "Kris Kobach confirms he is paid to lie for Bannon and his funder the Mercer family"

[czarjak]

10. He looks like such a swell guy though...

[leftieNanner]

11. He is also the SoS of Kansas, is he not?

Is he legally allowed to work for Breitbart at the same time? Don't know the answer to this question. Anybody know?

[Bengus81]

18. Yep...Secretary of State in Kansas and running for Governor....

Hell,he spends nearly ALL his time out of the State making cash off his other hate filled election fraud projects,now he's getting paid by Breitbart.

[leftieNanner]

19. Kobach is a sick ticket!

This one scares me. I hope Kansas doesn't elect him for Governor.

Yeah. That worked out with Brownback being reelected.

12. I miss the days when Bush's Dept of Ed paid a radio host to promote policy

(Armstrong Williams.) That seems small potatoes compared to this.

13. NASS should censure him (and themselves while they're at it *) for violating the ethics of

the office of Secretary of State.

SNIP...ARTICLE III - STATEMENT OF ETHICS

The role of Secretary of State is a noble calling, and carries a high ethical mandate and a conscientious duty to our democracy. Accordingly, Association members commit to the following:

Adhering to the highest standards of excellence that will nurture and maintain the public trust;
Placing loyalty to state and federal constitutions, the law, and ethical principles above private or political gain; and
For those Secretaries of State who serve as their state's chief elections official, practicing fair and unbiased election administration that recognizes each eligible citizen's right to cast his or her vote, and for that vote to be counted with the highest regard to constitutional foundations....SNIP

On second thought, he should be removed from office altogether for his countless ethical violations.

*Every single SOS should be censured (and removed) for allowing computerized voting & tabulating in elections and other forms of voter suppression.

14. Ethics! How quaint and 20th century.

The GOP has learned that they can do just about anything without repercussions. Watergate was jaywalking compared to the shit they are doing now.

[diva77]

15. You're right; but I don't understand why progressive media doesn't call out these violations

Elections officials are the gatekeepers for election results -- they should be subjected to much more scrutiny and part of daily reporting.

[progressoid]

16. Yeah, I've been critical of the media for a long time.

While I understand that it is hard to keep up with all the ethical violations that have happened since January, they seem to dwell on one thing and ignore so much. It would be great if we had actual investigative reporters again.

20. There's so much that's completely {wrong with this}

THREAD: There's so much that's completely fucked about this, but let's just go with the one that matters to us: Bigotry. 1/
