1/ We see Jack is crowing again about a "grassroots campaign" involving "constituents of the District" ( = lobbyists of the District of Columbia??).
Well, #DefundBergman team, shall we take a look under the hood?
2/ Over 40% of Bergman's financial support comes from PACs like @LockheedMartin, sugarcane growers in LA, @nardotrealtor, @Herbalife, corporate lawyers in DC like @McGuireWoodsLLP. These PACs don't give a rat's ass about #MI01. They are buying policy.

3/ So, OK -- but that still leaves almost 60% from individual contributors. Maybe these are the "grassroots" supporters?

Hmmm...#DefundBergman followers may know where this is going. You're smart.

1/ The coup continues. #Cheboygan Board of Commissioners will vote on requesting a #fraudit of 2020 election tomorrow. Board is unsure if Germany or Taiwan had unauthorized access to our election, which Trump won 64%. Seriously.

Why #Cheboygan?
Let's connect some dots.

2/ As reported by @washingtonpost, right-wing operatives targeted rural, pro-Trump counties starting in December. They look for friendly rubes who will agree to an audit.

Once the audit is approved, private companies create reports that deliberately play up suspicion.
3/ Those reports are used to create further doubt among a national audience, amplified by right-wing media. They give cover to @GOP state legislatures pushing voter suppression. And Trump base comes to believe that #BigLie has proof, and Dear Leader will be reinstated ( = coup)
