1/ WHY ARE "REPUBLICAN" CAMPAIGNS IN MONTANA BEING SUPPORTED BY DEMOCRAT DARK MONEY?
We recently saw the power of grassroots engagement, supported by President Trump, in knocking off RINOs in Indiana.
In Montana, our RINO problem is even more severe, but it doesn't get reported on because we are far from the national media, and our small state media is completely controlled by the left.
In the last legislative session, without any warning to the voters who elected them, nine GOP State Senators crossed the aisle to hand organizational control of the Senate to the Democrat minority and stymie conservative priorities from budget bills to infrastructure, to critical issues like making judicial elections partisan (Despite overwhelming GOP votes in the state, Democrats have been able to maintain ultimate control through "non-partisan" judges heavily backed by out of state leftist and trial lawyer money.)
Again, this isn't an issue of these "GOP" reps voting with the Dems on this or that issue. They voted with the Dems on PROCEDURAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL matters-- so they were literally playing for the other team while wearing the R as a skinsuit.
Many of these Senators are now trying to get re-elected as Republicans and counting on Democrat dark money to make it happen.
All of this is documented in the linked articles here.

2/ I've been fairly critical of the Montana GOP at times, but I will give them credit for moving decisively against these lawmakers, unlike some other state parties who have looked the other way when treacherous reps have undermined fundamental GOP priorities.
The state party completely severed recognition of the nine lawmakers as Republicans, pulled all campaign funding, and revoked their voting rights at party conventions.
The GOP has moved aggressively against these lawmakers, but bolstered by out-of-state money and Democrat campaign expertise, they still have a lot of influence.

3/ The rot goes beyond the State Senate though. The seventeen "GOP" candidates below were also taking money from people affiliated with Fireweed a "progressive" Montana political consulting firm.
The amounts may seem small, but in a state with districts of 11,000-40,000 people, a little money goes a long way

4/ I'm going to be writing more about this in the lead-up to the June 2nd primary, but for now, I'd just appreciate RTs to get the word out.
If you're in Montana, make sure you don't vote for any of these candidates and that you support their real GOP primary opponents.
And if you are a conservative funder who can help our actual conservative GOP candidates counter these expenses, my DMs are open!
