Indiana Senate candidate Mike Braun’s campaign says it fired an aide who is also affiliated with the white nationalist movement. The Republican’s campaign says Caleb C. Shumaker briefly collected ballot signatures for the candidate. But once Braun, of Jasper, became aware of Shumaker’s white nationalist ties, it ended his contract. Social media postings made by Shumaker show him appearing at GOP events in Indiana on Braun’s behalf. Shumaker could not immediately be reached for comment. A story in today’s Washington Times Herald written by Mike Grant reports that Shumaker has been identified as a Washington, Indiana, native who has a digital history of involvement in racist national politics. He’s leading a political action committee in Indiana backing the controversial campaign of Judge Roy Moore in the Alabama Special Senate Election.
