Fetterman camp takes aim at a Dem super PAC (Grifting?)

FETTERMAN CAMP ACCUSES DEM GROUP OF GRIFTING: Last weekend, Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman’s campaign issued a warning to donors about a purported scam. And for once, it wasn’t Fetterman’s Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz, at whom they were leveling the charge, your host reports.

— On Twitter and over email, Fetterman’s campaign manager Brendan McPhillipslaid into what he called a “scam PAC” that was “using John’s name and likeness for their own fundraising.”

— “These people are only pretending that the money they raise goes to John and our campaign. In reality, they are tricking thousands of donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars,” McPhillips wrote in a fundraising email. “Not only is this wrong, it also puts us at a major disadvantage.” The object of McPhillips’ ire was an ad backing his candidate launched earlier that week by the Democratic Coalition, a progressive super PAC whose spending practices have ruffled feathers in Democratic circles before.

— McPhillips’ missive on Twitter was cheered by several progressive operatives who have previously accused the group of soliciting money from impassioned liberals only to spend it on its own operations. To which McPhillips replied: “F*** around and find out, grifters.”

— But it’s a charge the group rejects, saying that the super PAC has been transparent with donors, and is only looking to help elect Democrats. The super PAC, which is run by progressive consultant and fundraiser Scott Dworkin, has collected $350,000 this cycle, FEC filings show - the vast majority of which has come from small-dollar donors giving less than $200.

— The committee has reported no independent expenditures either supporting or opposing federal candidates this cycle, compared with the $73,000 it dropped in the lead up to the 2020 election and Georgia Senate runoffs.

Fetterman may or may not be dragged across the line by the libs amd their enablers in PA, but his campaign is really about setting up a socialist base camp. Getting that AOC energy of vapid social media socialists to spread to the senate and elsewhere. Every dollar that establishment dems raise instead of socialist groups under the fetterman umbrella undermine that effort.

He’s not going to be able to wear a suit when he reports to duty and hide that hideous thing on his neck. He better deal with it if he should unfortunately win.
