Looks Like Ted Cruz Used Campaign Funds To Buy $150,000 Worth Of Copies Of His Own Book
According to campaign financial disclosures, Ted Cruz's campaign spent roughly $150,000 at Books-a-Million towards the end of last year, right around the time that he had a new book come out. This type of spending is completely legal, and the receipts don't even tell us what was actually purchased, but the odds of the campaign buying up that much worth of a different book are astronomically slim. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening and why it is so common with politicians.

According to campaign financial disclosures. It sure looks like Republican Senator Ted Cruz spent roughly $150,000 at Books-A-Million last year. Most likely purchasing copies of his own book, which had just come out last fall called one vote away how a single Supreme court seat can change history in September.

Here's what happened.

The campaign two weeks after the book came out, goes to Books-A-Million and spends $40,000 shortly afterwards, it spent a further 1500 and in December spent another $111,000. All of these at Books-A-Million and on the campaign expense report, it only lists books just as books doesn't tell us what kind of books he could have bought 150,000 copies of Moby Dick. But the campaign refuses to tell us they're not telling us which book they were reached for comment. And they said, no, we bought books. Of course, again, the timing of this makes it incredibly likely that what they did was they purchased a bunch of copies of Ted Cruz's books, which by the way is 100% legal. Okay. Nobody's accusing anyone of breaking campaign finance laws here. It, well, I'll put it this way. It's only legal. As long as the profits that
