And billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk ā who is overseeing the administrationās controversial effort to rapidly shrink the federal government ā has criticized ActBlue, seeking to tie it to protests and acts of vandalism against his electric-vehicle company Tesla. He has argued, without evidence to substantiate his claims, that some prominent Democrats ā including one who died in 2019 ā were funding ActBlue and the protests.
āSomething stinks about ActBlue,ā MuskĀ postedĀ earlier this month on his social media platform, X.
I donāt disagree, but fundraising emails are emails they send all the time to raise funds. They do it on a train, they do it on a plane, they do it here and there, they do it everywhere. That by itself isnāt really remarkable that theyāre asking for money and the reason of the day is āletās show trump whatever whateverā. I donāt think that proves much.
The fact that only AOC and Bernie have made waves by holding rallies to specifically say āletās stop this bullshitā is whatās damning the rest of them. If Harris wants another bite, sheās going to need to lead that soon and well.
Actually, for that matter - ANYONE is going to need to lead that soon and well, and it canāt be Bernie because he said it isnāt. If itās AOC, great, letās see some support for her.
