Y'all remember Heidi Przybyla right? She's the genius Politico reporter who declared "Christian Nationalists, not Christians" believe our rights "don't come from Congress or the Supeme Court, but from God." Yeah, her…

Well, she is clearly a leftwing hack doing the work of the left to undermine American institutions. She's writing a press release for a far-left group "Demand Justice" claiming it will spend $10 mil to attack the Supreme Court. But there are some details Heidi doesn't mention.

First, Demand Justice is a part of a multi-billion dollar dark money enterprise of the left called Arabella. You'd think that would be relevant considering she refers to "a deep-pocketed network of ultraconservative judicial activists helmed by Leonard Leo."

Arabella is a leftwing organization that keeps its donors secret and funnels their money into a series of leftwing groups. We don't really know who all on the left is funding this. But they've funded "defund the police" efforts, anti-semitic efforts, etc.

So Politico, which believes in transparency and supposedly believes in democracy, is running a press release for a leftwing group funded by anonymous leftwing billionaires who are also anonymously trying to fund election efforts for the left.

See here from CBS on Arabella: cbsnews.com/news/the-64-mi…

From that piece: "Impetus is a creation of a progressive D.C. firm called Arabella Advisors, which oversees a web of nonprofits that today funnels more dark money into American elections and political causes than any on either side of the political divide."

And Politico's Heidi Pryzbyla, who believes the Founders of the United States were not Christians, but Christian Nationalists, is carrying water for the group, clearly having been fed the story and spinning it to undermine rightwing successes in restraining government.

Pryzbyla carries a lot of water for the left in this, even using the phrase "court reform groups" as if they arer some innoucous good government groups. politico.com/news/2024/07/0…

It is really important to see the nexus here. Politico is one of many media outlets that has consistently lied to the American public about President Biden's capacity to do his job.

Their reporter has blatantly attacked Christians as "Christian Nationalists" for basic Christian beliefs. And she never corrected that or apologized for it. Now she is running a leftwing dark money group's press release as a news story.

The purpose of the news story is to undermine and attack an institution of the American government.

Not all insurrections are done in the sunlight. This one is done in the shadows with a "reporter" helping lead the charge. It is advocacy, not reporting, and

if it were otherwise, she would not treat Leonard Leo's group as some shadowy cabal while treating these leftwing groups as just simply "court reform groups."

This is agenda-driven, and Politico is signaling it is on the dark-money left's side. politico.com/news/2024/07/0…
