House Democrats fire back at Republican megadonor David Humphreys' cease-and-desist letter
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – House Democrats are calling out Republican megadonor David Humphreys for what they are describing as “attempts to bully and harass” his political opponents into silence.
In a press conference held at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City on Thursday afternoon, Democratic House leaders spoke to the media about the matter.
“Last week we, we got word that a PAC funded primarily by David Humphreys, the megadonor of the Republican Party and billionaire in Missouri, had just rolled over about a quarter of a million dollars from its PAC into the House Republican Campaign Committee,” Rep. Peter Merideth said, reminding everyone that Humphreys spent roughly $17 million in 2016 on campaigns to support Republican candidates and promote his agenda of bringing right-to-work, anti-labor measures and tort reform to Missouri. “We want to make sure that folks know that the other side is funded primarily by one person.”
Merideth said that to let people know, they sent out an email last week, which Humphreys’ “out-of-state attorneys” responded to this week with a cease-and-desist letter, which accuses the Democrats of defamation.
