Despite trouncing his primary challengers in Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District, Democratic state Rep. Cedric Richmond’s campaign has no interest in discussing accusations of impropriety raised by a group that spent more than $92,000 on independent expenditures against him in the final days before Saturday’s election.A group called Louisiana Truth PAC hammered Richmond with accusations, aired by New Orleans blogger "American Zombie," that Richmond established at least one 501(c)3 nonprofit group and “bilked the organization’s cash flow for personal use,” including buying a diamond bezel for his “blingiddy-bling, white gold, Rolex watch.”
Louisiana Truth PAC argued Richmond is another William Jefferson, the longtime New Orleans congressman who infamously stored $90,000 in cash in his freezer and was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison last year after prosecutors won his conviction on bribery charges.
