Mike Pence emerges as one of the few Republicans willing to challenge Trump 2.0

The article says: "His group spent nearly $1 million on ads opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump's pick to lead the nation's health agencies. He's delivering speeches urging the president to stand with longstanding foreign allies and lobbying members of Congress while aides write letters and opinion columns."

Media being often squishy, I imagine those "aides" are employees of not only "Advancing American Freedom" but other allied astro-turfing "charities."

It is rather ghastly to imagine how much "soft" money flows into political advocacy and outright lobbying, all those "charities" operating in and around DC.

But if the above from media is correct, "Advancing American Freedom: is all about NOT advancing President Trump's cabinet choices. Sounds very UNSUPPORTIVE of a Republican administration. And not, if "nearly $1 million on ads opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr," then the 501(c)3 -- after salaries and expenses -- did not have enough to do this alone.

Count on there being MANY 501(C)3 entities operating "under the radar" yet overtly against President Trump, all the while saying they are "Republicans."
