UPDATE: Email exposes GOP dirty tricks operation -- Popular Information
https://popular.info/p/update-email-exposes-gop-dirty-tricksOn Friday, Popular Information reported that Real Change PAC, a purportedly "progressive" super PAC spending millions attacking Democrats from the left, was linked to House Republicans. The linkage to the House Republican super PAC, the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), was established indirectly -- through Real Change PAC's connections to another sham PAC, California Blue.
Now, in a digital blunder, Real Change PAC directly revealed its real goals and political affiliation. In a post on X, journalist Andrew Solender noted that when someone subscribes to Real Change PAC's email list, the confirmation email comes from a cavalryllc.com email address. Cavalry LLC is one of DC's premier Republican communications shops, founded by Josh Holmes, Senator Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) former Chief of Staff.
In Maine's 2nd Congressional District, for example, Real Change PAC is running a TV ad attacking Democratic candidate Joe Baldacci. "The truth? Joe Baldacci is the only Democrat running for Congress who stands with Trump and opposes implementation of Medicare for all Mainers now," the ad asserts.
In New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, Real Change PAC is attacking Democratic candidate Rebecca Bennett with mailers accusing her of "STANDING WITH ICE" and "CASHING IN ON TRUMP'S TERROR."
Cavalry does not work with Democrats and supports President Trump's agenda. The firm does work extensively, however, with the CLF.
