Ted Cruz lashes out at a reporter for asking about donations to his super PAC. A super PAC affiliated with Sen. Ted Cruz reported receiving $215,000 in “digital revenue” from iHeartMedia. John Iadarola breaks it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollyboh... A super PAC affiliated with Sen. Ted Cruz reported receiving $215,000 in “digital revenue” from iHeartMedia on March 20—despite a spokesperson for the Republican from Texas previously denying there was an ethical issue with the company producing his podcast and saying it was no different from Cruz appearing on a cable news show. In a March 20 filing with the Federal Election Commission, the Truth and Courage PAC, which is dedicated to “supporting Ted Cruz’s reelection to the U.S. Senate,” reported receiving $214,752.98 from iHeartMedia Management Services in February. Rachel Nelson, vice president of public relations at iHeartMedia subsidiary Premiere Networks, told Forbes that Cruz volunteers his time and is not paid, but the company sells the advertising inventory for the podcast and the revenue the super PAC reported is “associated with those advertising sales.” In 2022—shortly after Cruz and iHeartMedia entered a partnership in which the company markets and produces his podcast, “Verdict”—the Campaign Legal Center watchdog group filed a complaint against Cruz and asked the Senate ethics committee to investigate whether the deal violated a federal law barring senators from receiving gifts from registered lobbyists. iHeartMedia has reported spending about $50 million lobbying members of Congress since 2003, trying to influence legislation around topics including data privacy, radio ownership and the Communications Decency Act. ** Be part of the Dragon Squad as a YouTube channel member: http://go.tyt.com/join-tdr Follow The Damage Report on Facebook:   / thedamagereporttyt   Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagerepo...
