EXCLUSIVE: A network of left-wing groups with budgets eclipsing those of conservative powerhouses like the Heritage Foundation will likely “carpet bomb” the 2020 election with anonymous dark money, a new report obtained by Fox News warns.

"If 2018 is any indicator, we should expect to see the Left carpet-bomb the 2020 presidential election with buckets of anonymous cash, while complaining about the evils of ‘dark money’ the entire time,” the report from conservative watchdog Capital Research Center says.

The CRC first reported last year on what it described as a shadowy network of liberal nonprofits under the banner of Washington-based Arabella Advisors -- afloat on more than a half-billion dollars and run by former Clinton administration appointee Eric Kessler.

What is their message going to be? “Orange Man Bad” isn’t going to be nearly enough.

I remember when it was revealed you could donate to Obama, and there were no roadblocks to what you could donate. You could use the name Osama Bin Laden or Mickey Mouse and the donation would go through. When I donate to a republican, I have to put down my name address, employer, occupation, etc. I am not at all surprised the ‘rats are raising “mystery” money.

Sounds like a nice time for a raid by US Marshals.

“What is their message going to be? “Orange Man Bad” isn’t going to be nearly enough.”

However, it does appear to be all they have.

I can’t recall hearing a never Trumper say anything other than “I just don’t like him” as their rationale for opposing him.

Although, for most leftists simply running as a Republican is enough.

I can’t help but believe that even they don’t buy into the argument that he is a racist, lying Putin puppet.

The looting and destruction of America is certainly a magnet for billions of evil money. How much would the CCP pay to take down the US for instance - billions dumped into organizations like this one and into the pickets of Deep State pols?

"What" or "how" isn't the point. They (and, let's cut to the chase. We're talking Soros, here) are going to go all out to disrupt, destroy and/or steal the election by any means available.

They're burning down several of our larger metropolitan areas. They're totally unafraid.

[Meatspace]

Use the federal apparatuses that are now available within the FEC, FTC and FCC to shut down these leftists dark money groups.

[RayChuang88]

I know where a huge fraction of the dark money is coming from: George Soros through the Open Society Foundations.

The Dems are the party of the rich.

Likely that most of the money has come from “woke” US corporations in the form of large donations that made them feel better

Heritage is not all that conservative.

Right. Using the weaknesses of our system such as freedom and chances to donate. Taking advantage of us. Dominating the schools the news media and system of justice. Knowing we will not resort to violence. And they will resort to violence when we realize it is too late.
