Turns out that accusing GOP politicians of taking other people’s money has paid off quite handsomely for the Lincoln Project

Some aren't even bothering to mention the runoffs. Rep-elect Madison Cawthorn, for instance, is running FB fundraising ads pledging to help overturn the 2020 election. But he's running them only in GA, effectively exploiting a loophole in FB's ad policy https://t.co/YZL0KmZ5eb

It seems fair enough to ponder the ethics of that.

Unless you’re, say, the Lincoln Project.

And yet, the Lincoln Project is appalled and outraged:

#PonziScheme … how is this legal? https://t.co/DZOYqRdAQr

OK, so first of all:

Even if true (and I’m not saying it is or isn’t), literally *not* a Ponzi Scheme.

And second of all, has the Lincoln Project met the Lincoln Project?

The Lincoln Project raised $4.8 million between November 24th and December 16th hyping the Georgia Senate runoff elections.

Since then, it has spent $1.1 million on independent expenditures in those races and paid Steve Schmidt $1.5 million. https://t.co/BT5roJBmCt pic.twitter.com/mCS1B7wsxF

This is the kind of product you get for $1.5 million a quarter.

Grifter alert ? https://t.co/vkbOwT03lr

Honestly one of the most impressive grifts we've ever seen https://t.co/IpF3GBDemT

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) December 30, 2020

gotta respect the success of the grift https://t.co/cPIsEpEn3h

They should travel around the country and hold training seminars for this stuff. And charge a lot for it, of course.

What do you say to this @SteveSchmidtSES?

— Derek Andrew Franks #WearAMask (@Derek_a_Franks) December 30, 2020

Damn. Any comment from @ProjectLincoln @SteveSchmidtSES ? Curious what hear their response to being fingered for the type of grifting they consistently complain about.
