Lincoln Projection: Shameless Rick Wilson has some thoughts on what Donald Trump's campaign did with the money they raised

This may come as a surprise to some, but it seems that much of the money raised by Donald Trump’s campaign to fight the “stolen election” results didn’t really go toward fighting the election results.

This sort of thing never happens in politics!

We’re being sarcastic, of course. As is the Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson, who had this to say:

No. WAY.

So Donald Trump tricked people into lining his pockets?

Yeah, MAGA is so stoopid. Unlike the Lincoln Project’s supporters, who thoroughly vetted Rick Wilson et al. before sending them their hard-earned money. Lincoln Project supporters would never be so careless as to get took. And the Lincoln Project, what with all their Principles and whatnot, would never be so cruel as to swindle people.

Sounds… familiar. https://t.co/GNLnGsahvk

Eerily familiar, no?

You're just mad you weren't getting any of that grift. https://t.co/l1JncH3maO

Rick needn’t be mad. The Lincoln Project has taken in quite an impressive haul, themselves.

So he… modeled his grift after the Lincoln Project? https://t.co/1DFGE0J2My

If Donald Trump was looking for an effective grift, he couldn’t’ve had a better model than the Lincoln Project.

And vice versa.

Or did @ProjectLincoln model their grift after Trump's?

At this point, it doesn’t really matter. All that matters is that the Lincoln Project’s nasty habit of being everything they profess to hate just keeps getting nastier.

Show us your receipts, Rick. How much of your groups grift is going to your groups legal defense? I hear aiding and abetting a sexual predator can be costly. https://t.co/0uStGkjtKf
