DAVID!

Far-Left Super PAC Created By ‘Media Matters’ Founder Under Investigation

American Bridge 21st Century, a far-left organization created by Media Matters for America founder and progressive political operative David Brock, may have violated its tax-exempt status by engaging in political activities while describing itself as a nonprofit, according a complaint filed Thursday with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The Patriots Foundation, an Iowa-based right-leaning government watchdog, filed the complaint (which was first reported by Bloomberg) with the IRS. They claim that American Bridge 21st Century is largely a political organization and as a result, has broken tax laws.

“American Bridge has a Super-PAC arm that can spend unlimited sums to influence elections. But the primary purpose of nonprofits organized under section 501(c)4 of the tax code like American Bridge cannot be politics. The complaint quotes material given to potential donors to the nonprofit arm in 2017 saying the organization’s mission is ‘to take on Donald Trump,’” Bloomberg’s Bill Allison wrote.
