The texts are not at all what they seem. The whole thing is actually a fake… just like the sponsoring group: Progress 2028.
It turns out that Progress 2028 is actually a right-wing front group, funded in part by Elon Musk. Flashback: "Progress 2028" may look like a Democratic response to "Project 2025," but it's not - CBS News
According to Virginia State Corporation Commission records shared by OpenSecrets, a conservative nonprofit called Building America's Future registered Progress 2028 on Sept. 23. The website progress2028.com was then registered three days later.
Building America's Future has received millions from conservative supporters, including billionaire Elon Musk, according to The Wall Street Journal, and has promoted Trump campaign material while running ads critical of the Biden administration.
The bogus Crawford texts follow the playbook the group used last year in the presidential race, linking liberal candidates to uber-progressive positions:
The website makes a number of false claims about Harris' positions. It says she would prioritize a nationwide gun buyback program and is committed to banning fracking, which she says she will not do. Its Facebook ads also incorrectly state she "WILL FIGHT TO EXPAND MEDICARE FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS" as well as give them drivers licenses and housing subsidies.
A state Democratic operative told me that he was aware of the fake Musk-backed texts, which he described as “Evil but smart.”
“Susan’s ads,” he wrote, “are full of cops. She’s not running as a softie.”
But if voters believe what they see on social media and on their phones, they might not know that. Which is Musk’s goal after all, isn’t it? |
