Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
Benjamin Rajadurai is the former Executive Director of the College Republicans National Committee and now works for Americans for Tax Reform. During his tenure at CNRC, there was a contentious election for Chair. Two women allege that Rajadurai encouraged them to make sexual “Me Too” allegations against one of the candidates to help the other.
When he ran for governor, Alexandra Datig, his ex-fiancée, broke the Non-Disclosure Agreement he had her sign to warn voters that he was abusive and threatened her with a gun. He denied the allegation, but she did file a police report and risked financial consequences to go public. Prosecutors did not pursue the allegations because the statute of limitations had run out.
Jennifer Carnahan was the Chair of the Minnesota Republican Party. After her husband, Rep. Jim Hagedorn died of cancer, she ran for his office but placed third in the primary with 8% of the vote. Her close association with Anton Lazzaro probably did not help.
In 2021, he was arrested for one count each of aggravated invasion of computer privacy, stalking, and theft by unauthorized taking as well as two counts of harassment. He was using a device issued to him by the school district. This arrest led to a second as they found child sexual exploitation material with children under twelve on his phone.
Gisela Castro Medina was the Chair of the College Republicans at St. Thomas University in St. Paul, Minnesota. In 2021, she was arrested for underage sex trafficking. She was accused of helping Anton Lazzaro recruit and traffick minors for sex.
Shane Anderson was the treasurer of the North Dakota District 24 Republicans. He also was the chairman of the recall effort to punish Rep. Dwight Kiefert, a fellow Republican. This is after the local Republicans already voted to censure Kiefert.
What did Kiefert do that was so terrible as to merit censure and recall? He voted with two-thirds of the other North Dakota Republicans to expel sexual harasser Luke Simons. Shane Anderson, who has a local minister’s license at the United Pentecostal Church International, is leading the effort to punish Kiefert for voting to expel an abusive, harassing, sexual predator.
Anton Lazzaro was a GOP strategist and campaign manager in Minnesota. He founded Big Tent Republicans PAC. He was also an occasional FOX News guest. In 2021, he was indicted on five counts of sex trafficking of a minor, one count of attempting to do so, and three counts of obstruction of justice.
Tom Mountain was the vice-chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party. He was forced to resign after TB Daily posted his comments about young girls and women on Twitter. They also posted his inappropriate sexual conversations with a catfish who pretended to be an Israeli model. The gross comments led to his resignation.
Max Miller was Trump’s aide during his administration. In 2022, who ran in the primary to unseat Anthony Gonzalez, a Republican who voted to impeach Trump. He won the primary and is now in the US House of Representatives. He also has an unsavory history of bullying, abuse, and multiple criminal charges for speeding, underage drinking, disorderly conduct, and driving under the influence.
He had a relationship with Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham that ended when he allegedly shoved her against a wall and slapped her.
Herschel Walker was the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia. He was unqualified, but that didn’t stop Donald Trump, Lauren Boebert, or Louie Gohmert. He has a long history of domestic violence and abuse. There were several allegations of abuse from his ex-wife, his son, and former lovers. Two women claimed he paid for abortions despite his anti-abortion stance.
