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.
4/ Well, on the last campaign finance (Quarter 4 of 2021) it turns out that 1/3 of all individual contributors to Bergman came from one family.
One. Family. Any guesses, #DefundBergman crew?
5/ No, not Bueller.
Behold, all the Devoses threw @RepJackBergman a $40,000+ life raft to save his flailing campaign.
Betsy, Dick, Daniel, Douglas, Maria, Pamella, Suzanne...the whole oligarchic clan came to the rescue. Gee, wonder what these "grassroots" want?

6/ Follow along with us, as we continue to pull back the curtain on this fraud known as @RepJackBergman: the man who violates his oath of office, impoverishes his constituents and corrupts democracy in order to do the bidding of his most "generous" supporters.
