Google Puts More Emails Seeking Cash For Donald Trump In Recipients’ Spam Boxes

This week, Google sent a new batch of emails supporting Donald Trump to the spam boxes of Gmail users.

The new emails came from Crippled America, a Super PAC which supports Trump. The goal of the emails is to raise cash independently in support of Trump’s presidential candidacy.

Crippled America sent the first of the two emails on the evening of June 30, according to a time stamp.

The run-on sentence title of Crippled America’s first email is “Help us catch Crooked Hillary we are only a few donations away.” The recipient’s name — e.g., Eric — is wedged before the word “Help” with no punctuation.

A pattern of similar errors throughout both emails suggests gross amateurism by Crippled America.

Crippled America sent the spam-landing emails from the address info@kkklinton.com. (An Internet search shows that Crippled America owns the domain name kkklinton.com.)

The “Help us catch Crooked Hillary” email begins by declaring that presumed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has raised a tremendous amount of money.

“Donald Trump needs our help to match their donations so we can win this November,” the email says.

“Our large donors have pledged hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it is YOU, the grassroots activist, who are [sic] the soul of this campaign.”

There’s also mention of an anti-Clinton television commercial.

The email then offers more criticism of Clinton and several dollar-amount buttons (which are later offered still again).

“You are on our list because like us you believe that Donald J. Trump will Make America Great Again,” the fine print at the bottom of the email explains.

The address of Crippled America — 1412-B Stonehollow Drive in Kingwood, Texas — is a nondescript, single-story, strip office building in a fancypants suburb of Houston, Texas.

Crippled America appears to have sent its second email just less than two hours after sending the first one. The second email is entitled “Reviewing our donor records.” As with the first one, the recipients’ names are wedged nakedly before the word “Reviewing.”

“Time is running short Eric we saw that you tried to get to our donation page but the sheer amount of people going there overloaded our servers,” the grammatically-challenged text from financial director Zac Cossum explains.

The rest of the second email repeats — seemingly verbatim — the first one. The same words are highlighted. The same donation buttons are offered — twice. The same arguments about Putin, China, ISIS, illegal immigration and NAFTA are made. “Overseas” is spelled as “over seas” the same wrong way.

The Facebook page of Zac Cossum of Austin, Texaswho likes Crippled America (as well as Señor Frog’s Aruba and a fraternity at the University of Texas at Austin) — shows a remarkably youthful-looking person.

Earlier in June, Gmail users by the score claimed that Google is filtering emails from presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign directly into their spam folders. (RELATED: Users Claim Google Is Putting Trump Emails In Their Spam Box)

There have been previous reports, denied by Google, that the search engine was manipulating search autocomplete results in favor of Hillary Clinton.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, has previously said, “Google is directly engaged with Hillary Clinton’s campaign.”

In 2015, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt reportedly funded a startup, “The Groundwork,” with the objective of helping Hillary Clinton get elected.

The Super PAC name “Crippled America” relates to a 2015 book authored by Trump. Its full title is “Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
