I said earlier today how transparent it is, and how dumb it is, that Reuters and other outlets are using the excuse of Lincoln Project’s blame-taking to not only absolve McAuliffe and Dems of the failed smear against Youngkin, but to avoid mentioning Democrats involvement at all. This despite the fact that the people IN the Tiki photos are WITH the Democratic party in the state.
But of course, the problem is even deeper than that. The Lincoln Project is intimately and inextricably tied to Democrat politicians, funders, PACs, and more, across the country and in this race in particular. And the stunt was to get a DEMOCRAT elected.
But here, let this amazing, must-read thread explain.
REALLY read deep here, this is exhaustive and irrefutable.
THREAD:
There's an organized effort to blame a "Republican group," aka the Lincoln Project, for the disgraceful neo-Nazi prank.
The LP is *intimately tied* to Democrats of all levels. I'll show you how.https://t.co/sfUwdhkamo

First, some context from my @FreeBeacon colleague @AndrewStilesUSA:

After the Democrats involved confessed, the media attempted to gaslight you by claimng *Republicans* did this because the Lincoln Project did it!
This is to cover for @TerryMcAuliffe, whose campaign was clearly involvedhttps://t.co/ojlzfkhH5chttps://t.co/sfUwdhkamo

But, the Lincoln Project is tied to the Democratic Party at all levels.
Dem strategist Joe Trippi, who advised leading Democratic perverts like John Edwards and Teddy Kennedy, recently joined the LP–itself accused of covering up pedophiliahttps://t.co/JS1NC9seTS

The Lincoln Project is sustained by the top organs of the Democratic Party.@AndrewStilesUSA and I reported this extensively @FreeBeacon earlier. Let's review.https://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv

Both @AmalgamatedBank and @NGPVAN work exclusively for Democrats–including the Lincoln Project.
Let's start with Amalgamated, known as "the left's private banker." It's tied to @Democracy_All, the George Soros-aligned network of wealthy donors.https://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv
(6/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
Amalgamated Bank, which is owned by @SEIU, was a critical early-stage client of the Lincoln Project, which was initially called Rough Riders For America in November 2019 and listed future Lincoln Project cofounder Reed Galen as its treasurer.https://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv
(7/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
From the start, the Lincoln Project's filing lists @AmalgamatedBank as its bank. It remains the Lincoln Project's bank or depository. Its decision to use Amalgamated from its start leaves little doubt it was sanctioned by top Democratic brass. https://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv
(8/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
@AmalgamatedBank's other clients include the Biden campaign and every major Democratic political organization.
Now let's turn to @NGPVAN…https://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv
(9/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
@NGPVAN is charged with maintaining the Democratic Party's coveted voter information file, and boasts that it services "nearly every major Democratic campaign in America."
Its clients include, you guessed it–the Lincoln Project!https://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv
(10/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
Lincoln Project has worked with @NGPVAN since around its founding in 2019—around the time its founders were notified of concerns surrounding their colleague John Weaver, who is accused of sexually inappropriate behavior with dozens of young men.https://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv
(11/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
@NGPVAN collected thousands of dollars from the Lincoln Project during the 2020 election. The firm also worked with nearly every prominent Democratic Party organization. Top clients included @DNC, @DSCC, @DCCC, @JoeBiden, @ewarren and morehttps://t.co/BT5j0jlAAv

Furthermore, the Lincoln Project shares personnel, an address, and a number of donors with progressive groups.
The group's custodian of records, Melissa Nissen, is also the treasurer of @ForwardMajority, a progressive group.https://t.co/NtKvGbTPZe
(13/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
Melissa Nissen is also the managing director of Capitol Compliance, a firm that receives large sums from liberal committees.
The Lincoln Project also shares a PO box with @ForwardMajority and @DefendtheVote, another progressive group.https://t.co/NtKvGbTPZe
(14/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
The Lincoln Project also has explicit financial ties to Democratic leadership. Its top donors include two groups aligned with #NYSEN @chuckschumer–the dark money nonprofit Majority Forward and @MajorityPAC. https://t.co/NtKvGbTPZe
(15/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
Combined, Majority Forward and @MajorityPAC showered the Lincoln Project with nearly $2 million in cash. The Lincoln Project, in turn, didn't just attack Donald Trump but also GOP Senators, including @KLoeffler and @Perduesenate in #GASEN. https://t.co/NtKvGbTPZe
(16/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
During the #GASEN runoffs, the Lincoln Project was so hell-bent on electing Jon @Ossoff that it likely broke the law.@keithedwards, a high-ranking Lincoln Project employee *also* served as a paid campaign staffer for Ossoff.https://t.co/yDKEokL47v
(17/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
@keithedwards' double dipping is a huge red flag: "When a super PAC has inside information from a vendor or employee of a candidate, any advertising the super PAC does on behalf of the candidate is an illegal in-kind contribution…https://t.co/yDKEokL47v

In situations where an individual has ties to both a campaign and outside organization, it raises serious concerns of illegal coordination." —@factdc's Kendra Arnoldhttps://t.co/yDKEokL47v

Democratic megadonors, like hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel and Hollywood music mogul David Geffen, help fund the Lincoln Project. https://t.co/NtKvGbTPZe
(20/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
In addition to raising ~$100 million from Democratic megadonors and small dollar donors, the Lincoln Project has received six-figures in $ the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a liberal dark money incubator managed by Arabella Advisors.https://t.co/NtKvGbTPZe
(21/27)
— Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) October 30, 2021
In adding to staging neo-Nazi pranks in concert with @TerryMcAuliffe's flailing #VAGOV campaign, the Lincoln Project's top brass has paid off massive financial debts, as they raise millions from gullible liberals.
Some examples follow:https://t.co/rAitdX0WTk

Tl;dr the Lincoln Project:
– Employs the bank used by all top Democrats, @AmalgamatedBank
– Employs @NGPVAN, which controls the @DNC's voter file
– Receives tens of millions of dollars from liberal billionaires and small dollar donors
– Is not a GOP group *at all*(27/27)
