The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump political group, appears to have helped an Iranian disinformation effort go viral.
Federal authorities concluded that Iran was behind a string of threatening emails targeting Democratic voters in swing states, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. The email senders claimed to be members of the Proud Boys, a fringe right-wing group.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Ratcliffe confirmed the Iranian efforts during a press conference Wednesday evening.
Ratcliffe told reporters that “we have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest, and damage President Trump. You may have seen some reporting on this in the last 24 hours or you may have even been one of the recipients of those emails.”
The Lincoln Project helped the Iranian misinformation go viral on social media, garnering more than 12,000 retweets by amplifying the false claim that the Proud Boys were trying to intimidate Democratic voters.
“The Proud Boys are attempting to scare voters away from the polls. This is punishable by up to a year in jail and a blatant attempt to prevent people from voting. Let’s find them and make them famous,” the Lincoln Project tweet said.
The political group, which was founded by anti-Trump Republican consultants, deleted the tweet Wednesday night.

I suggest helicopter rides.
And Russia too..gee Lincoln Project..whose Putin’s Puppet now
Nah. Proud boyeez, kkk, white supremacists.
No surprise here - as the entire set up borders on the ridiculous.
The US justice Dept should sanction the Lincoln Projects back accounts for helping the Iranians.
Collusion!
The Dems worked themselves up into a lather about the Proud Boys and that made them vulnerable to this attack. They baited the Iranians to attack them.
bkmk
So what we are seeing is that the NeverTrumpers and establishment Republicans are actually using foreign money help to try and rig a presidential election against the Republican candidate. And in 2024 I am supposed to drop to my knees and beg these aholes to forgive us and save us from the Democrats or be accused of being disloyal(some on Freerepublic will kiss the butts of these turds still and demand blind obedience). It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for these traitors ever.
All this news lately.
ALL OF IT BAD FOR SLO JO AND THE HO!!
And stonewalling only makes it look worse.
Slo jo is learning burying his head in the pillow in the basement will not make things go better.
I hope Trump slowly and WITHOUT going nuts quietly dismantles slo joe tonight.
Good point... The Lincoln Project is sheer b*llsh*t and they should stew in it.
Isn’t Romney tied to this group?
They have discredited themselves officially.
These guys are inaptly named.
They should call themselves the Lincoln Battalion.

Question has been asked, “Where will these characters go after the election?” We don’t want them. And you know soon they will no longer be the Left’s Useful Idiots.
They should call themselves the Lincoln Battalion.
No. They should call themselves “The John Wilkes Booth Project” as they are attempting to “kill” a great Republican President.
Iirc During the Obama years there were videotaped reports of New Black Panther thugs in Philadelphia with baseball bats intimidating voters outside of polling places. Did anybody get arrested or sentenced?…NAH… (sorry I brought it up).
I am sure the ‘moderator’ will pull the plug on the President, when he gets too close to home with his statements about Hunter, etc.
