Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].

We’ve been inundated republican primary mail pieces. Inundated is an understatement. Someone is spending a lot of money.

One right wingnut’s state senate primary bid in particular:

And:

Those mailings were paid for by AFC Victory Fund with a return address in Dallas, Texas.

At the Missouri Ethics Commission:

243038 07/11/2024 AFC Victory Fund AFC Victory Fund 228 S Washington St Ste 115 Alexandria VA 22314 7/9/2024 $633,500.00

[emphasis added]

Another set of mailings on behalf of Rick Brattin (r), funded by yet another right wingnut PAC:

And:

And:

And, the pièce de résistance:

Which is it? Did Rick Brattin (r) sell our farmland to China, or not? It’s hard to tell these days, right wingnut republican orthodoxy keeps changing.

These mail pieces were paid for by True Patriot PAC with a return address in Jefferson City, Missouri. And where did they get their money (via the Missouri Ethics Commission)?:

[emphasis added]

Aside from mailings funded by different PACS and a blatant campaign franking piece paid for by Missouri taxpayers what do you think Rick Brattin’s campaign is spending money on? Yard signs? Just asking.

Previously:

Some right wingnuts with money really hate Rick Brattin (r) (July 25, 2022)
