Brad Dayspring Should Answer For NRSC’s Corruption re Brian Walsh

I began to address Brad Dayspring’s reckless and faulty accusations against Mark Levin here.

Mark Levin has weighed in on Facebook and says he will address it on air this evening: These sleazy intimidation tactics will not work Read the whole thing.

In reality, there is nothing to see here. Pundits write books, groups use them to promote, etc… So what?

But the fact is, it was the NRSC that WAS caught engaging in the corrupt practice of paying a friend of Bradley Dayspring, Brian Walsh who was acting as a columnist at U.S. News and World Report. They won’t own it any more than they want to own their sleazy tactics now. But what was going on with the NRSC and Dayspring’s buddy Brian Walsh was far more dishonest and corrupt than Mark Levin writing and selling a book on the open market. All these hacks are doing now is exposing themselves and generating even more resistance to the elected GOP hacks that spend donor money deploying them to undermine their very own base.

U.S. News & World Report will start disclosing that columnist Brian Walsh, a former National Republican Senatorial Committee communications director, is still on the NRSC payroll, following an inquiry from POLITICO.

Since April, the NRSC has been giving Walsh $5,000 a month for communications, strategy and consulting, according to FEC filings. Walsh’s bio at U.S. News refers to him as “a government relations and public affairs strategist in Washington DC,” but does not mention that he is being paid by the Republican party.

In recent months, Walsh has used his column to target conservative hard-line groups, including the Senate Conservatives Fund and The Heritage Foundation, which have positioned themselves against establishment Republicans. Walsh is also frequently quoted in the press as a “former NRSC spokesperson” while speaking out against these groups.

Following an inquiry from POLITICO, U.S. News & World Report spokeswoman Lucy Lyons said the organization would amend Walsh’s biography to include his relationship with the NRSC.

“Walsh’s affiliation with the NRSC and role as a Republican strategist are identified in his blurb, but he did not disclose his role with the NRSC to us,” Lyons told POLITICO. “We would absolutely have disclosed this and are going back through and adding disclosures to the pieces he has written for us.”
