Krystle Matthews Democrat S.C. Senate Candidate Illicit Campaign Tactics

Democrat Krystle Matthews S.C. Senate Candidate Illicit Campaign Tactics. Once again James O’Keefe of Project Veritas Action who is world-famous for his “Gotcha” undercover videos snagged Crystal Matthews a U.S. Senate candidate and current S.C. State Rep., Krystle Matthews (D-South Carolina), speaking to an inmate on a recorded line. On that call, Matthews used racially-charged language and encouraged dirty campaign tricks including Dem “sleepers” running as republicans!

Project Veritas Action has published a recording of U.S. Senate candidate, Krystle Matthews, talking about her desire to break multiple laws while using profanities and racially-charged language. Matthews is heard on the audio discussing strategies like orchestrating democrats to run as Republicans for elected office: We need some secret sleepers. We need them to run as the other side, even though they are for our side, we need people to run as Republicans in these local elections. This is the only way you’re going to change the dynamics in South Carolina, she adds. She then encourages donations to her campaign from people engaging in illegal activity, including straw donations, which are political contributions made to candidates under another name. I still got to struggle to raise money for my campaign, where the f*** is my black people with money? I don’t care about no dope money, give me that dope boy money! Where are the duffle bag boys?  Find me, somebody, from your family that doesn’t even know you donating to my campaign and put that s*** under their names. In federal elections in the United States, straw donor schemes are illegal under 52 U.S.C. § 30122.

Matthews also encouraged other election crimes, such as stealing the signs of opponents. “We need some folks that can wear all black at night and take they f****** yard signs down when they- when they sleeping,” Matthews says. She also used racially-charged language. Honestly, these ain’t the same type of black people that I grew up around.  I don’t recognize these black people.  So, I am black because I don’t understand the type of black that they are.  Now, can I talk intelligently?  Can I- I could be.  Listen, I can move in all kinds of circles, but I’m a n**** at heart.  I love black people.  I feel safest around my people. Matthews qualified for the South Carolina Senate runoff after gaining 32.2% of the vote in the Democratic Senate Primary. She is currently a member of the South Carolina State House.
