Trump-linked group that battled Hillary Clinton in 2016 rebranded this year to attack critical race theory in Virginia
CNBC ^ | 11/04/2021 | Brian Schwartz

Posted on 11/04/2021 1:26:56 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A group that fueled attacks on critical race theory during Virginia’s hotly contested gubernatorial race has ties to several of former President Donald Trump’s allies, including Newt Gingrich and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.

The group, 1776 Action, is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit “dark money” organization that isn’t required to publicly disclose its donors. Gingrich and Carson themselves aren’t listed among the group’s leaders, although people close to them, including family members and former top aides, have leadership roles.

Before this year, it was known as the American Legacy Center. It targeted Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election and congressional Democrats during the 2018 midterms.

The MSM believes, and they may be right, that aligning anything the DEMs disagree with on Trump will be a winner. They aided in the created of Trump fatigue, and they will continue abusing it for years.

Right.

The same voters who voted 2xs for Obama. Elected the 1st Black female LT Gov and 1st Latina AG in VA history, are now “racist Trump supporters” for not voting for an old White male Clinton thug.

I suppose they could stand around with their hands out like the GOP Senate.

Wallace inadvertently spilled the beans:


Critical race theory is just something someone made up, it sounded good to the leftists, so they ate it up.

About time. The Left has hundreds if not thousands of NGOs and non-profits that are all networked together. George Soros alone has hundreds of them.

We learned how to do it from them. They thus have only themselves to blame.
