𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃: Proof that Republican influencers are being paid to promote racism, bigotry, and hate.

Political campaigns are pouring millions in "dark money" to commercials and digital content masquerading as influencers, & news coverage to influence the 2020 election, at a time when trust in journalists is more crucial than ever.

ACRONYM, a liberal dark money group with a linked super PAC called PACRONYM, represents the new era of pseudo-news sites. ACRONYM claims to be owned by "other investors." Yet, a 2019 tax return by OpenSecrets, shows ACRONYM is the sole owner of Courier.

The Americano, a member of the Courier Newsroom network, had digital ads targeting Puerto Ricans in Florida, but the ads appear to have vanished from Facebook.

Labeled "non-political,"but the website's content is essentially identical to that of the other state-specific sites.

A website named NC Examiner paid to promote various videos that resemble local newscasts. The website appears to be a local news organization focused on North Carolina health care. Nevertheless, a deeper look finds that the site has little, if any, original reporting.

The aggregated stories all have a poor depiction of Republican lawmakers in North Carolina. The movies and digital content are paid for by Piedmont Rising, a liberal 501(c)(4) charity controlled by Casey Wilkinson, the former director of North Carolina's House Democratic Caucus.

Paid Democrat Influencers

In 2020, the Propaganda Research Lab at the Center for Media Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin studied the use of political influencers on social media and they verified there was compensation for misinformation.

According to campaign strategists and politically minded marketers, the political sphere has begun to prioritize the usage of small-scale influencers (those with less than 50,000 followers) who profit from intimate, personal ties with their audiences.

Small-scale influencers also enable ads to target audiences based on factors such as shared hobbies, gender, and age

Because small-scale influencers are less expensive to pay per post vs. famous influencers, campaigns can work with more of them at once to post detailed content.

The Democracy Posse

The DNC's greatest digital marketing asset is the Democracy Posse. They are the DNC's top-paid VIP influencers. President Biden also invited them to the White House on October 9, 2021 to "brief them."

The apparent leader of the "Posse" is Majid Padellan, the self-proclaimed Brooklyn Dad Defiant. According to a vendor recipient profile on OpenSecrets, Mr. Padellan received a total of $57,088 in 13 payments from the Truly American PAC between 13 July 2020 and 24 December 2020.

"I got a magical email from the digital communications team at the White House saying they were going to be doing essentially a creator briefing for the Inflation Reduction Act," V Spehar, host of "Under The Desk News" with 2.7 million Tik Tok Followers.

SNL was in on the joke:

"This is just proof of what we have already known. The DNC pays non-FBA immigrants like that 'Brooklyn Dad' dude to troll Foundational Black Americans on twitter to try and disrupt and steer our narratives," responded Tariq Nasheed, a black activist.

The Democratic Influencer campaign goes far beyond Padellan, on March 22, 2019 it was revealed that Rob Reiner who has 2.1 million Twitter followers, who could be the most influential Digital Democratic voice is funding TDIP with Billionaire liberal investor, George Soros.

TDIP is shrouded in secrecy. Buy RealClearInvestigations viewed documents, and more than a dozen interviews, and discovered that the organization is executing a sophisticated media-influence campaign that involves driving and directing daily coverage of the Russia collusion idea.

Liberal influencers appear to have created an entire brand by criticizing Trump.

Trump-helping keywords such as "MAGA" remain in their bio 3 years after his Presidency. With over 700k Twitter followers, JoJoFromJerz mission is Anti-MAGA

Earning over $100k yearly for "influence"

Americans are increasingly obtaining their news from social media platforms, like the billion-user TikTok. According to Pew Research, 33% of 18-29-year-olds in the United States and 15% of 30-49-year-olds prefer to acquire their news from social media. Democrats mastered this.

Further proof of how Democrats have weaponized social media can be seen at Trump's Tulsa Rally on July 3, 2021.

TikTok influencers were urging their followers to get tickets to his rally to make it appear empty. The media knew this and still claimed Trump was losing traction.

Rob Flaherty, the White House director of digital strategy."We need to get out into the digital communities that people exist in — and that means spending time with digital creators who have huge reaches into those audiences," he told NPR

White House use of influencers below:

Democrats control what the American people see yet they criticize other parties and accuse them of having echo chambers while solidifying theirs.

There are thousands of Democrat influencers some with tens millions of followers. If the message has to be reinforced is it good?

I never been this Censored. These used to get 1M views in 6 hours. My reach was killed when I covered Abortion. All of this because of independent journalism. Every retweet, like and comment helps.
