Democratic donors cross party lines to support anti-Trump Republicans
Ft.com ^ | 2/15/22 | Caitlin Gilbert, Sam Learner, Lauren Fedor

Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger received donations from thousands of grassroots supporters who helped fund Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, revealing how Democrats are willing to cross party lines to back Republican lawmakers that have broken with Donald Trump over the January 6 riots.

Last year, more than a third of Kinzinger’s grassroots donors and roughly a fifth of Cheney’s were people who gave to Biden in 2020, according to a Financial Times analysis of data from WinRed and ActBlue, the main platforms for small-dollar donors.

Kinzinger, a congressman from Illinois and Cheney of Wyoming are two of six House Republicans who have attracted significant levels of support from Biden donors last year, all of whom voted to impeach Trump for his role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

They aren’t crossing any significant line; they’re all in the anti-freedom movement together.

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The only reason two parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

The above pols are Deep State.

How can they cross any lines when Democrats and RINOs are on the same side of it?

Of course they do. They’re terrified of losing their pets the RINOs. My god! If MAGA Republicans take over they will have a lot of appeal with Hispanics and Blacks not to mention the White working class in the Midwest. And even worse for them, these people actually believe in something and will stand and fight for it - unlike their buddies from the country clubs the RINOs.

Kissinger is retiring. But they probably still donate to him, so he can use the funds and pass them around to like minded people.

They haven't crossed Party lines. Cheney and Kinzinger are Democrats in every way apart from name.
