Friends: Ron Paul OK'd Racist Newsletters
Racist newsletters published under Republican presidential contender Ron Paul's name were reportedly approved by him, according to the Washington Post.
Paul recently said he never approved those newsletters from the 1990s before they were sent out. But close associates to Paul at the time now say that the controversial libertarian did sign off on them.
"It was his newsletter, and it was under his name, so he always got to see the final product ... He would proof it," said Renae Hathway, a former secretary in Paul's company and a supporter of the Texas congressman, to the Washington Post.
An individual involved in Paul's numerous businesses said that Paul wanted to boost sales and felt that adding offensive material to the newsletters might boost numbers.
