Hi #BucksCounty and #MontCoPA. I think we all need to have a little chat about the @CLFSuperPAC mailer that was just dropped in support of @BrianFitzUSA / @RepBrianFitz

It is laughably bad, and we NEED to get into it.
#PA01 #BoughtAndSoldBrian 1/11

First let’s talk @CLFSuperPAC.

This is a big #DarkMoney operation started by former #GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan (the #GOPTaxScam guy).

What is the Congressional Leadership Fund?

Congressional Leadership Fund, an influential GOP super PAC, got ahold of a VA democratic congressional candidate's CIA security application.

The @CLFSuperPAC #darkmoney operation made huge ad buys in 2018 for @RepBrianFitz and looks like they are up to their old tricks again.

Nothing like campaign cash coming in from out of district to buy an election, amirite?

Congressional Leadership Fund Increases Fall Ad Reservations - Roll Call

Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC aligned with House GOP leadership, on Monday stepped up its initial ad reservations for the fall. CLF’s new $15 million in TV reservations comes after...

What really gets, me, though, is this little snippet of the ad.

The @CLFSuperPAC frames their entire messaging to attack @FinelloForPA around this one line (I zoomed in on it, but did not otherwise modify content).
#PA01 #BoughtAndSoldBrian 4/11

Let’s say this straight out, before we do our little dive into this.

@FinelloForPA does not support #DefundThePolice.
She never has.
She does support ample mental health funding. (shouldn’t we all?)
#PA01 #BoughtAndSoldBrian 5/11

But the @CLFSuperPAC frames their entire message around scaremongering #BucksCounty and #MontCoPA on the topic of #DefundThePolice… because some group who supports Christina, in turn supports that message.

Wha…..?
#PA01 #BoughtAndSoldBrian 6/11

So I guess that means that @RepBRianFitz / @BrianFitzUSA is open to being attacked based on all of the folks who support him? And the wackadoo ideas what they have promoted?

DAMN, @CLFSuperPAC, thank you SO MUCH for opening that door!
#PA01 #BoughtAndSoldBrian 7/11

I don’t even know where to begin.

I guess we can start with Jim Worthington, who owns an athletic club/ #Trump event venue.

“ @RepBrianFitz has accepted support from a man who holds and promotes #SuperSpreader #COVID events!”

Next up, the notorious #ElliotBroidy - he donated to @RepBrianFitz.

“ @RepBrianFitz has accepted support from a man who is a convicted felon, and paid his mistress over a million dollars to get an abortion!”

Elliott Broidy’s Mistress Shera Bechard Says He Demanded She Get Abortion

Shera Bechard also accused Elliott Broidy of having unprotected sex with her—‘without telling her he had genital herpes.’ Broidy denies the claims.

Oh, and we can't forget GeoGroup, the for-profit prison company - they are Fitzpatrick donors too!

“ @RepBrianFitz has accepted support from a company that keeps #KidsInCages and profits from it!”

GEO Group request to increase beds for detainees draws packed crowd in Adelanto

ADELANTO — A recent meeting to consider conversion of a private prison’s facility from housing for state inmates to immigration detainees drew a standing-room only crowd, with prison employees...

That’s it from me.
Now it’s YOUR turn.
Tell me who @RepBrianFitz should be shamed for accepting money and/or support from.

Be sure to phrase it as “ @RepBrianFitz has accepted support from”, just like those idiots at @CLFSuperPAC did!
