“Just as Lincoln would have done”:

Soliciting donations and promoting yourselves on lib TV by ripping other people's content. Just as Lincoln would have done.

The Lincoln Project answered at least one of the Twitter account, responding with ”

you’re upset that we posted a video you didn’t film featuring a song you don’t have the rights to. Did I get that right?”:

They may have lifted this one from CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski, but we’ll give them a pass on it as it’s too generic for a ruling:

And Zadronzny is looking to report further on the matter:

Hey if you run social for @ProjectLincoln, please get in touch on Signal. Contact is in bio. Happy to keep it off the record.
