The scumbag and his scummy family who helped make Trump president was back to their old tricks. A Mercer funded PAC wanted to hire an actor to do a voice supposedly of the Iranian president endorsing Beto O’Rourke. Mercer was one of Ted Cruz’s funders. Say what you will about the Koch Brothers, at least they have an ideology (or ethos). See The Big Lebowski (not a perfect analogy but fun anyway). Mercer appears to just hate America and support those who sell out this nation. Billionaires created the evil around us. Anyway, here’s what the evil ones were up to:
A neoconservative foreign policy group appeared to try and get audio recorded claiming erroneously that Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s (D-TX) Senate campaign was endorsed by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
The campaign appears to have not made it into production, and maybe never will, as the site where the group posted a call for voice actors took down the solicitation on the grounds that the script was clearly false.

The script for the spot was as follows:
“Hello, I am Hassan Rouhani, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the script read. “Today, it is my pleasure to endorse Beto O’Rourke for U.S. Senate. As a Congressman, Beto was a strong supporter of President Obama’s Iran Deal—which gave billions of dollars to my country of Iran.”

However, both the anonymous source and certain elements of the request suggest strongly that it could have been made by the group Secure America Now, an organization with financial ties to some major donors in the 2016 presidential election.

According to 2016 income tax returns obtained by the website OpenSecrets, Secure America Now was largely funded by multi millionaire donor Robert Mercer, the 45Committee (a pro-Trump dark money group) and Ronald S. Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress. Allen Roth, an adviser to Lauder, is the group’s president.

Secure America Now is also referenced in a New York Times report as an organization that Elliott Broidy, former deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee, said he was “working with” to get the Trump administration to fill positions favorable to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

Ted Cruz and those who pull his strings are clearly worried.
