Washington (CNN)—The first black Republican woman elected to Congress is returning $1,000 in donations from Earl Holt, the alleged white supremacist whose writings have reportedly inspired Charleston shooter Dylann Roof

.

A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Mia Love said Monday that she would be returning the three donations Holt made to her campaign immediately, after being contacted by CNN.

Love made history last November when Utah residents selected her as the first black Republican woman to serve in Congress.

Holt, who is president Council of Conservative Citizens, donated thousands of dollars to Republican candidates Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Rick Santorum in previous elections.

Earl Holt, the alleged white supremacist

SNIP

Holt, who is president Council of Conservative Citizens, donated thousands of dollars to Republican candidates Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Rick Santorum in previous elections.

SNIP

The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies the Council of Concerned Citizens as a hate group.


You see how this works?

Reportedly, allegedly, Southern Poverty Law Center...

It's an all-out war on those racist Republicans, but no media bias by us.

So is Hillary going to return those donations to her alleged foundation from countries that abuse and violate basic human rights?

Funny how that question is being swept under the rug.

Great journalism, great research. I don't recall much coverage of the illegal foreign donations collected and never returned by Zero's 2008 campaign.

A better question is, “Holt donated to Mia Love’s campaign?”

Perplexing, to say the least.

Saw this on CBS this morning in their attempt to say Cruz et al were in effect “tied” to these murders.

...at least she is giving it back, whether she is black or white, I don’t see the rest of the idiots running for POTUS or any other office doing it.....

You want change, then elect people that will start to change it and let them know your behind them....

My first question too.

How racist is he if he gives money to a black woman?

The media are all out using this shooting as to further their agenda and sadly millions will follow and the likes of Graham and Romney will jump on the bandwagon,
