Meme group joins with Lincoln Project in new campaign against Trump
TheHill.com ^ | 07/30/20 | Rebecca Klar

The group Meme 2020 is partnering with The Lincoln Project, a prominent Republican group opposing President Trump’s reelection, with a new campaign targeting young voters through popular Instagram accounts. 

Meme 2020 made its first foray into politics earlier this year with a push backing Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign, but its latest project, which launched this week, is instead focusing on a broader voter mobilization effort. 

“Meme 2020 is sort of laser focussed on sort of building up this new medium that has been kind of undeveloped in political advertising,” said Ryan Patrick Kelley, chief of staff of Meme 2020.

Partnering with The Lincoln Project, he said, seemed natural given the spotlight the anti-Trump GOP group has garnered in recent months. The Lincoln Project is run by Republicans opposed to Trump, including George Conway, the Washington, D.C., lawyer married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway

“It's no secret that the Lincoln Project has been just an absolute juggernaut in this area,” Kelley said. 

The GOP group earlier this month said it raised $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, and it has launched numerous ads attacking Trump. But the Lincoln Project has been active in “more traditional spaces,” Kelley noted. Through this partnership, their message can expand to try to reach younger voters, which will be a key voting bloc for the November election.

There have been about seven different sources for this same story, the same 16 million they collected, they are tough and they are serious. Real scary.

Is there going to be a follow up to this much repeated piece of garbage article that repeats over and over and is just silly. As silly as that POS Conway.

Kellyann, for Heaven’s sake,get a divorce. I know Catholics who have just divorced they just don’t marry again.
With your present spouse, you probably wouldn’t want to marry again anyway.

Get rid of him

Of coarse the left can’t meme, you have to have a sense of humor and an IQ above room temperature.

Biden’s campaign motto: BBB

One of Greg Gutfelt’s comedian panelists thought it was Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Kellyanne’s (soon to be ex?) Husband, McCain’ bitch boy Steve Scmidt and John Weaver, who is literally a democrat.

They are attacking Trump AND Republican Senators, even Susan Collins. They also want to “support Biden’s agenda”.

It’s passed time we start the “Franklin Roosevelt Project” to back a 100% conservative Trump Republican agenda.

Better yet, run a bunch of political ads where self-described "lifelong Democrats" claim they will NOT be voting for Biden in 2020 ("I've voted Democrat in every election since I was 18, but when they nominate someone for President who's not even mentally sound enough to serve, well then, I just gotta do what's right and prevent such a person from ever becoming Commander-in-Chief")

Call it "The FDR Project" ... "This ad paid for by The Franklin Roosevelt Project"

Gotta fight fire with fire.

OMG. Their “chief of staff” is sort of, you know, like kind of a fifth-grade drop-out. Tremble before her. Fear her!
