EXC - The "nonpolitical" USAID employee @60Minutes used to attack Trump has a personal blog where she called Trump a “reincarnation of Mussolini and Hitler” and said she wanted to “eliminate” his supporters.
🧵🧵🧵
In a July 2016 piece - “#StillNotTrumpThough” - she declares “it must not be Trump” and that he is “absolutely unfit to run our country.”
“He reminds us of a reincarnation of Mussolini or pre-genocidal Hitler, if not a pre-war Milosevic (but without the breaking country to add momentum), and is lauded, just as they were," she continues.
She then calls to "ELIMINATE" his supporters, smearing them all as racist, sexist, misogynistic and homophobic:
“If your argument to support Donald Trump is that “he says it like it is”, or “some of his stuff makes sense”, “he says what everyone else is afraid to say,” congratulations- you’re probably a racist. Or sexist, or misogynistic, or homophobic, or classist, or ableist. You represent the problem we are trying to eliminate. You represent the privilege we keep talking about.”
In a January 2017 piece, she discussed Trump's death and claimed he had "no empathy" and gives "power to hate."
She says he is "in violation of nepotism and emoluments laws and almost every other imaginable conflict of interest legislation."
In a July 2018 piece - "White Alliance" - she blasts Trump for racist immigration policy and tells her readers how to be a "white ally."
And before she tries to deny it and delete it, here's the proof! And archived links :)
REVEALED: Here Are the Mainstream Journalists on China’s Payroll 🚨
I exclusively uncovered the identities of prominent U.S. journalists flown to China by a CCP-linked influence operation seeking “favorable coverage” and “positive messages” about Beijing. 🧵
The names include:
- Ezra Klein, New York Times columnist
- Matthew Yglesias, Vox co-founder
- Ronald Brownstein, CNN senior political analyst
- Bradford Plumer, New York Times reporter
- Marjorie Miller, former Associated Press vice president
Also identified:
- Steve Clemons, former The Hill editor-at-large
- David Rohde, MS NOW senior national security reporter
- Jonathan Alter, NBC News and MSNBC political analyst
- David Sweeney, former NPR managing editor
- Daniel Gross, former Yahoo Finance columnist
EXCLUSIVE: MS NOW national security reporter @RohdeD attacked President Trump’s election warning about China.
@RohdeD traveled to China with a leading Chinese Communist Party influence org offering these trips in exchange for “favorable coverage.”
Conflict of interest? 🧵
The China-United States Exchange Foundation is tied to China’s United Front system, which works to “co-opt and neutralize sources of opposition” to the Chinese Communist Party.
The State Department has described it as a “magic weapon” for advancing CCP political influence overseas.
Rohde disclosed his participation in one of CUSEF’s journalist delegations in a Reuters article that has since been deleted:
“Four other journalists and myself are visiting China this week on a trip organized by the China-United States Exchange Foundation.”
He described CUSEF as an organization “run by businessmen with close ties to the Chinese government.”
EXC: Some of the biggest names in media participated in private dinners and China trips organized by a Chinese Communist Party influence operation seeking to generate “favorable coverage” and “disseminate positive messages” about China.
The outlets named include:
• CNN
• The New York Times
• The Washington Post
• Reuters
• The Wall Street Journal
• Bloomberg
• BBC
• Associated Press
• TIME
• The Atlantic
🧵
The group behind the effort was the China-United States Exchange Foundation.
CUSEF was founded the Vice Chairman of China’s leading international influence and espionage organization — the United Front.
The U.S. government says its purpose is to:
“co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition” to the Chinese Communist Party.
CUSEF’s American lobbying firm described its objective in a FARA filing:
“effectively disseminate positive messages to the media, key influencers and opinion leaders, and the general public.”
The filings then explain exactly how the group planned to achieve it.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: I uncovered documents showing a Berlin-based network steering foreign donors toward a $19 million, Hillary-linked voter operation designed to “change the outcomes of national elections” and generate 200,000+ votes in key U.S. races.
(Just $94 a vote!)
The documents say it plainly:
“Freedom2Vote… can receive funds from both US and foreign donors.”
And:
“A non-partisan organisation under US tax law… It can receive funds from both US and foreign donors.”
This is their foreign donor pitch.
The American machinery behind Freedom2Vote is Civitech, an explicitly Democratic political-tech firm led by a former Hillary Clinton voter-protection official.
Civitech says its partisan models “minimize unintended Republican registrations.”
