The Republican operative working for the Governor and the statewide slate of Republicans has made a living cheating election law. He's purposely crass, he loves attention, and, despite being fined for breaking the law, is still employed.

He's promoted illegal gambling machines siphoning money from our education system.

He's helped corrupt our system with dark money.

He interfered in local St. Louis elections through an elaborate scheme, again using dark money.

Now he's using vile terms when interacting with Missourians, but it's not new.

And through all of it, he has remained employed and has even been praised for his work:

“Gregg Keller is one of the leading campaign operatives in the country and he’ll work closely with me and Kay to help elect Republicans everywhere from our 2020 statewide ticket to growing and maintaining our majorities in the state House and Senate,” Governor Parson said.

Despite having broken the law, despite being involved and caught in a scheme to undermine our democracy, despite laundering political money, despite having a long history of engaging in pathetic behavior, this is the guy the Governor and the Missouri Republican Party wanted.

This guy belongs in jail. That won't happen because he has money and power, and because our government is bought by the same money that makes him possible.

I've been talking about dark money for so long because it is selling out our government and destroying our country.

It feels like a long time ago when we elected leaders in Missouri who truly believed that the buck stops with them.

It's sad to see so-called leaders care so much more about their next political contribution than doing right by us.
