'Supporting them beyond this is a hard no': Even Peter Daou thinks the Lincoln Project is a bunch of grifters

We’ve been known to rag on Hillary Clinton superfan Peter Daou a lot here on Twitchy, but every once in a while he says something we can all get behind. Last we checked in with him, he was urging Joe Biden to drop out of the Democratic primaries after the Tara Reade allegations emerged: “Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards,” he tweeted.

Now he’s going after the Lincoln Project, saying there’s no better word than “grifter” to describe them.

So basically a bunch of Republicans who laid the groundwork for Trump have wrapped themselves in Lincoln's mantle and are running the entire anti-Trump messaging for the Democratic Party. All while the principled left is shunned and spit on.

Am I wrong?

And they're raising and pocketing tens of millions from Democratic donors.

You know, the word "grifter" is overused lately, but when I think of how people who are "anti-Trump" (like Pelosi and others who fund his abuses) have raked in millions off him, there's no better word.

Is he wrong?

I wish you were, but you didn't miss a beat here.

If they help get rid of trump, great. I do believe they have been effective, but supporting them beyond this is a hard no.

I get where your coming from, but quite frankly, we need it. They are bumping it hard for us. For now. It'll be over soon. But I'll take the help while they're offering.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Soon the mutual enemy will be gone and we'll be enemies again.

But that's what this is, their bid to get you to forget what they did under Bush and during the Clinton years and even going back to the first Bush in some cases.
And while it may not work on you or I, Joe is talking to some close friends of theirs's about cabinet positions

They are a temporary partner in defeating Trump. After Election Day they will go back to being the traditional GOP we despise.

Don't forget liberals have donated some 73 million to them for the privilege.

Also while generating millions of dollars that goes directly into their pockets.

It's always been the plan.

Sadly, you are 100% correct.

They are using us for the time being. Wait until they unleash on Biden. Ugh!!

— #NastyWomenVote (@Claire53401723) October 24, 2020

It's a brilliant grift

— Joe Biden SVU (@garfsvu1) October 24, 2020

We can all come together to despise those dildos https://t.co/R1PNr0wiCJ

— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) October 24, 2020

So Democrats don’t want them around even if they help Joe Biden win, and Republicans who support Trump want nothing to do with them, so where does the grift go after the election?
