On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof entered the Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina and proceeded to murder nine African American parishioners and injure three others. 

He later testified that he was influenced by the Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC) website. 

On the CofCC website, Roof read article after article stating falsely that blacks were killing and raping whites at alarming numbers. 

CofCC denied responsibility, but one only has to look at their website and see that they were openly advocating a race war.

Republican politicians who had spoken at CofCC events quickly tried to distance themselves from the group and were forced by public outcry to return thousands of dollars in campaign donations by the president of the CofCC, Earl Holt.
