Kansas Secretary of State and Republican gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach has a side gig as a paid columnist for Breitbart News, the far-right news and commentary site run by former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon.
Kobach told the Kansas City Star that Breitbart approached him back in June when then-former Bannon still worked in the White House.
He made it clear he doesn’t consider this a conflict of interest. “I get paid for my columns … just like you’re paid,” Kobach told the Star.
His first column appeared on Breitbart earlier this summer with the headline, “Refugees and Terrorism: A Massive Vulnerability in Our Immigrations system.”
