And he’s already pissed at people using “Democrat” instead of “Democratic”:

Democratic. It’s the Democratic Party. It’s the oldest in the world. This headline should read “registering Democratic”. It’s an important enough institution in this country that it is entitled to its’ proper name. https://t.co/Z1ssMmnDRU

Alt Headline: Lincoln Project member fully endorses party of slavery:

The head of the Lincoln Project is emphasizing the long & storied history of the Democratic Party. https://t.co/5ioGghFW1F

They can have him as far as we’re concerned:

Byeeeee ???

EVERYONE can stop pretending:

Maybe now the media can stop pretending that the Lincoln Project is in any way a Republican organization https://t.co/dqOQDkL7Zp

Good luck with that though:

No WAY?!

On the plus side, perhaps the media will finally start accurately labeling this crew as Democrats now. https://t.co/buG7wVywn5

Note the timing of his big announcement:

At least he waited to make the announcement until right after he helped fundraise tens of millions of dollars under the pretense that he was a Republican who was against Trump. https://t.co/8xnjN86nB2

Yep:

Grifter says what?

Dems, he’s all yours:

Oh this makes me so happy! Our own @SteveSchmidtSES announces he's registering as a Democrat! I think I speak for all Democrats when I say we are honored and delighted! https://t.co/zLFxAaW3nW

And now he can be AOC’s problem once and for all.
