Earlier this month President Biden started using the term “ultra MAGA” (and other variations of that) to describe Republicans that the Democrats claim to be part of the Trump wing of the party. Jen Psaki claimed Biden came up with the term all on his own until it was reported the Democrats had focus grouped it for months (Psaki lied? No way!). Biden and the Dems are still attempting to make “ultra MAGA” a thing:
Senator Rick Scott released an Ultra-MAGA Agenda.
It could raise taxes on 75 million American families.
Under this new plan, while big corporations and billionaires would pay nothing more, working-class folks are going to pay a hell of a lot more.

NEW: Republicans have nominated ultra-MAGA extremist Doug Mastriano for governor of Pennsylvania—he promotes Trump’s Big Lie, attended the January 6 rally preceding the insurrection, and said his “number one issue” is banning abortion including for victims of rape and incest.

It probably won’t surprise you to know that the Dems are getting some media assistance in not only pushing “ultra MAGA,” but also insisting that it could cause some Republicans to vote Democrat in November:
“Ultra-MAGA” is literally focus-grouped Dem agitprop. What on earth is this trash? https://t.co/bAHQhT2df7

This is just begging for a Ron Klain retweet:
The rise of far-right Republican candidates has some Republicans considering voting Democratic this fall — and some Democrats trying to engineer the rise of ultra-MAGA candidates they feel will be easier to defeat in a general election. https://t.co/TPbHVgrUKx

It’s simply amazing how the media instinctively picks up on Democrat narratives and dutifully spreads them around.
You just using “ultra-MAGA” as a hard news descriptor now even though we know it came from a Dem focus group?

They use terminology created in Democrat focus groups (ultra-MAGA) and then wonder why we accuse them of being partisan hacks. https://t.co/I3Pco3olIl

So much “journalism.”
If Biden started calling opponents Poopy Head Trump Goblins, Axios would use it without quote marks. https://t.co/Bm9c5gUlYs

Wait. A (snort) reputable news outlet is using Democratic Party manufactured talking point?
It's "Don't Say Gay" all over again.
Imagine if they wrote an article about Sleepy Joe's negative approval rate. https://t.co/NgvbQmOoV5

“Don’t Say Gay” is another great example of the media’s willingness to work as the DNC’s press office.
Ultra MAGA will backfire like the deplorables comment. https://t.co/0C5tjRy8G9

Imagine how bad the media hackery is going to be in October.
Panic at the Dem Disco. https://t.co/SjoWziSwpJ

Biden and the Dems know they’ve created such a mess that they’re throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Many in the media are obviously happy to help.
