A secretive dark money group tied to the Democratic Party is paying online influencers up to $8,000 a month to disseminate left-leaning talking points, according to a report.
The “Chorus Creator Incubator Program” is said to be funded by the “Sixteen Thirty Fund,” a nonprofit sometimes portrayed as the left’s answer to the Koch network and which has funneled money to dozens of Democratic-friendly influencers, according to WIRED magazine.
The names attached to the program span some of the most recognizable liberal voices online.
They include Olivia Julianna, the Gen Z activist who spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention; Loren Piretra, a former Playboy executive turned Occupy Democrats YouTuber; and Barrett Adair, the content creator who runs a viral American Girl Doll–themed meme account.
The program also includes Suzanne Lambert, who styles herself a “Regina George liberal”; Arielle Fodor, a teacher with 1.4 million TikTok followers; Sander Jennings, the TLC reality star and older brother of trans influencer Jazz Jennings; and David Pakman, host of a YouTube show.
Leigh McGowan, better known to her audience as “Politics Girl,” is also reported to be tied to the program.
Each of them, and many more, were brought into communication with Chorus, the nonprofit arm of a for-profit influencer agency, to take part in the program.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund told The Post that it is a “fiscal sponsor” of Chorus and that the group “receives donations on Chorus’s behalf and provides operational and administrative support for Chorus” — though it states it is “not the original source of financing.”

Now we know where select posters on this Forum derived their income.
This has been going on since 2001.
One operation was setup in Portland, OR funded by NBA players and was active until Obama became president.
Well, I guess $96k in “supplemental” income per year ain’t no bad gig...
Would that include someone whose name sounds like “Frankenstein”?
No amount of money could convince me to vote for a Dem. My self-respect is not worth losing to a bribe.

Where do I sign up? Because I’ve already got three Dem-influencer lines ready.
If you’re a pervert, vote Democrat.

If you enjoy being mugged, vote Democrat.
Please, cash only.
