The Lincoln Project is soliciting donations to flip the GA Senate, and it is unconscionable.

Do not give them a penny.

A thread. 1/

/2 Lincoln Project says they’re targeting R and R-leaning voters. But research has found anti-Trump ads like theirs are ineffective in swing states.

And indeed, Trump won a LARGER % of Republican & R-leaning voters than in 2016.

So why did LP take on this failing strategy?

/3 Because their real audience isn’t Republicans. It’s liberals. It’s people who ALREADY don’t like Trump. They’re producing liberal porn to make money.

Why spend big money on shit like a Times Square billboard in heavy blue NYC? forbes.com/sites/carliepo…

/4 They made over $67M pretending to swing voters, and they’re launching a media empire. A Republican-led media empire.

5/ The Lincoln Project is taking your money to build the GOP.

These men want to save the Republican Party’s reputation to get GOP wins, not Dem wins. One of the founders, Steve Schmidt, was Howard Schultz’s campaign strategist. vanityfair.com/news/2019/01/i…

/6 GOTV in GA, as other swing states, was done by local groups: @NewGAProject, @fairfightaction

They registered hundreds of thousands voters, knocked called & reminded, gave rides to polls, engaged ppl on issues they care about. This is where GA $ must go.apnews.com/article/electi…

/7 The Lincoln Project — rich white Republican men working to strengthen the future of the GOP — soliciting money for Georgia, which was won by the sweat of savvy, local Black women, is disgusting.

And counterproductive. Do not send them a dime. Gasenate.com
