Accused by former Congressman Bentivolio of being a liar.

 

“Rocky Raczkowski is a liar, and we are going to prove that he is a liar,” said Bentivolio, who is seeking $10 million in damages. “We made a case that he has a history of lying and telling mistruths, and we have enough evidence to proceed with a jury trial”

Sabotaged Kerry Bentivolio’s fundraising efforts

 

Trott’s liaison to the dark side of politics sends Mark Valente III (a long-standing Republican operative from Michigan) to Washington, D. C. to sabotage Congressman Bentivolio’s fundraising efforts. Rumors have abounded around Michigan that Trott used Rocky to deliver $100,000.00 to Valente as payment for his services.

Political Consultant Ken Crow says Rocky launched a “smear campaign” against Bentivolio without actual evidence

 

“Launched his campaign to discredit Congressman Bentivolio with smears and lies that have zero factual evidence. Trott did only serve for two-terms before announcing his “retirement.” Strange coincidence?”

Ken Crow claims Rocky falsely accused Kerry Bentivolio of not having a legitimate service record without verifying the facts

Political consultant Ken Crow claims Rocky Raczkowski is guilty of nothing short of character assassination (in my opinion) and he is most certainly guilty of “stolen valor.”

Had suspicious donor names in his campaign finance report

 

From Kerry’s attorney:  “No, not kidding. There are no Roger Rogers or Clearance Clarences.  But there are Angus Angus, Jill Jill, Jody Jody, Maria Maria, and quite a few suspicious other contributors with identical first and last names, many of them with P.O. boxes, one of them with a P.O. box with no specific P.O. box number. There’s even a person named “M.F. M.F.”–hey, the perfect initials to describe Rocky, whether or not he gets elected tonight. And there are people and addresses that don’t exist, too.  A woman named “Christa Kwitt” had a street address on Bobolink in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Um, there is NO Bobolink in Bloomfield Hills. Not even a Bob-O-Link street. Yup, fictional addresses for fictional donors. But, hey, at least he didn’t list her as Christa Christa. Where did this money really come from?”
