Greg Abbott Campaign Had "Catch An Illegal Immigrant" Organizer on Payroll Into November
Remember when the UT chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas planned their offensive "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" "game" on the 40 Acres campus last fall and were met with widespread denunciation?
Remember how the event, scheduled for Wednesday, November 20, was organized by a young man named Lorenzo Garcia, the then-Chairman of the UT YCTs, who was also a Greg Abbott field staffer, per his LinkedIn page?
Remember how when the controversy about the racist, offensive "game" made national news and Greg Abbott's campaign spokesperson Matt Hirsch was asked about Garcia, he told the Dallas Morning News on November 18, "He used to work for us but I think he resigned close to two months ago"?
Turns out, Lorenzo Garcia was on the Greg Abbott campaign payroll well into October, and received his last check from the campaign on November 1, 2013.
