NRCC Calls On Raul Ruiz To Return Drug King Sympathizer Sean Penn’s Campaign Donations
Today, the NRCC is calling for Raul Ruiz to condemn actor Sean Penn’s sympathies for notorious drug king Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman by donating the $17,600 in campaign contributions he has received from Penn to heroin treatment clinics in the 36th District.
It was revealed this weekend that Penn had been meeting with Guzman before authoring a sympathetic piece for Rolling Stone on the cartel boss responsible for a huge portion of the Central and North American drug trade along with thousands of Mexican and American deaths. Even the White House was “appalled” by “El Chapo’s” shameless bragging that he moves more heroin than anyone else in the world as the United States battles an increasingly severe heroin epidemic. The Palm Springs area has battled heroin trafficking and use in recent years, with a 12,000% increase in sales over the last decade.

NRCC Comment: “Raul Ruiz should immediately condemn Sean Penn’s sympathies for notorious drug king Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman by donating the $17,600 in campaign contributions he has received from Penn to heroin treatment clinics in the 36th District. While Penn may enjoy cavorting with drug cartel bosses, Ruiz should put Penn’s campaign cash to good use and help fight the heroin epidemic.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
