Using campaign finance as line of attack against Gorsuch reveals a new level of hypocrisy that these liberal groups will stoop to in their partisan crusade to oppose a highly-qualified Judge that is committed to upholding the Constitution
March 14, 2017
Fueled by groups that continue to be outraged over Senate Democrats inability “to land a punch on Neil Gorsuch,” far left-wingers are now turning to campaign finance as a desperation ploy to try and impugn the Judge’s impeccable record.
The problem is that using this line of attack reveals a new level of hypocrisy that these groups will stoop to in their partisan crusade to oppose a highly-qualified Judge that is committed to upholding the Constitution.
While these groups rail against dark money, several of them, including CREDO Action, Indivisible, and the Center For Responsible Politics, all maintain dark money organizations which no one can trace.
The Founders Of Indivisible Recently Organized A 501(c)4. “Indivisible’s founders never planned or expected the groundswell of interest that resulted from their guide, which prompted them to organize as a 501(c)4 group this month.” (Elana Schor and Rachael Bade, “Inside The Protest Movement That Has Republicans Reeling,” Politico, 2/10/17)
According To The Center For Responsible Politics, People For American Way Was Throwing “Dark Money” Into The 2016 Arizona Senate Race. “The Center for Responsible Politics shows one liberal source putting Dark Money into the Arizona Senate race: People for the American Way, spending just over 35 hundred dollars to oppose Mc Cain and help Ann Kirkpatrick.” (Craig Smith, “Who’s Writing The Checks In Arizona Senate Race,” KGUN9, 9/30/16)
Credo Action Is A “Member Of The Secret Democratic Dark Money Group Known As The Democracy Alliance.” “The Free Beacon revealed in 2013 that CREDO Mobile cofounder Michael Kieschnick had funneled millions of dollars to pro-Obama interest groups through CREDO Mobile’s liberal activism network, CREDO Action. The organization is a member of the secret Democratic dark money group known as the Democracy Alliance. The email to journalists noted that CREDO has raised money for many liberal groups, including Planned Parenthood.” (Adam Kredo, “White-House Linked Dark Money Group Threatens Democrats On Eve Of Nuke Deal,” The Washington Free Beacon, 7/4/15)
This extreme case of blatant hypocrisy – criticizing money in politics while simultaneously profiting from millions in undisclosed contributions – proves that liberal groups will use any means necessary to ding Judge Gorsuch out of political spite.
