Damn it feels good to be a grifter!
We can’t speak from personal experience, of course, but judging from the Lincoln Project’s haul from Democratic donors, it seems more than fair to reach that conclusion.

Get a load of those top two donors.
?Lincoln Project got Democrat donors to part with $15,226,496 in the pre-election period ($81.9M to date!), with the ostensibly Republican group getting $550,000 from Chuck Schumer's Senate Majority PAC and $650,000 from dark money Democratic group Majority Forward. pic.twitter.com/1SculQxvVt

!!! SMP and Majority Forward, the Democratic dark money group, straight-up gave Lincoln Project $1.2 million in the post-general filing period https://t.co/2cnSNVZSHb

We would totally expect the Lincoln Project to take financial contributions from “dark money” groups, because the Lincoln Project is nothing if not totally shady.
But taking money from Chuck Schumer’s group is just … *chef’s kiss*. Schumer buying into the Lincoln Project’s grift? You love to see it.
Good god, @SenSchumer.

They all deserve each other.
After siphoning off $81.9M from Democratic donors this cycle with little to show for it, Lincoln Project's founder signals plan to continue to milk their audience for all they're worth for as long as humanly possible and files FEC paperwork for 'Lincoln24'https://t.co/TPiFyk0RfY

Anyone still taking the Lincoln Project’s bait at this point deserves to get took.
