House GOP backs candidate even after he wrote multiple racist Facebook posts



By Dan Desai Martin -May 20, 2020 5:15 PM

Ted Howze is still listed as a part of the National Republican Congressional Committee's 'Young Guns' program.

The National Republican Congressional Committee is still raising funds for California Republican House candidate Ted Howze despite the publication of racist and bigoted posts and conspiracy theories on Howze's personal social media pages, Politico reported on Wednesday.

Howze is still listed as part of the NRCC's "Young Guns" candidate recruitment program, which "identifies candidates across the country who embody the principles of the House Republican Conference and show promise of running a successful campaign," according to its website.

Howze is listed as a "Contender" candidate, and has his own page on the site displaying a bio, a photo, and links for making contributions.

The NRCC did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday on whether the group continues to support Howze's campaign, nor did it respond to a similar request from Politico the day before.

He is the perfect embodiment of "the principles of the House Republican Conference". He is a nut-case racist and conspiracy hound.
