If you’ve been watching the polls in the Wisconsin Senate race, you’ve seen the Republican Eric Hovde making it a competitive race with the incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin.
You’ve also seen someone named Thomas Leager showing up at 2 percent or so in some polls. Who is Leager? He is supposedly the “America First” candidate but is really the product of a Democratic conspiracy to tank the GOP in close congressional races.
The Associated Press has done great work on this true false-flag operation.
Leager was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Whitmer kidnapping plot and has fringy right-wing views that you’d expect, but his candidacy has been a Democratic project from the very beginning. Even Roger Stone might blush at the audacity of it.
The AP reports:
Leager told the AP he was recruited last year to run by operatives who said they were with the Patriots Run Project. That group promoted itself as a pro-Trump grassroots movement that attacked both parties and urged conservatives to run for office as independents. The AP found the group was supported by Democratic firms and donors who worked to install several pro-Trump independent candidates in key House races. Most of them were disabled, retired or both.
Records show Democrats have given tens of thousands of dollars seeking ballot access for the far-right candidates. The supporters include [big-time donor David] Steinglass and his wife, Liz, who have given more than $5 million to support Democratic political groups, and others who have contributed to and worked for Democratic candidates.
While the strategy hasn’t always worked, Leager is among the candidates who qualified for the Nov. 5 ballot and could complicate Republicans’ efforts to reclaim the Senate.
Yeah, he could in a close race, and that’s the point.
According to Leager, an operative with the Patriots Run Project told him he was just the kind of candidate it was looking for because he “had not caved under pressure from the feds.” Then, Democratic donors ponied up to pay for a Democratic firm to get Leager on the ballot.
Conservative voters in Wisconsin must not fall for this dirty trick. Leager is the political type prone to see left-wing conspiracy theories everywhere, and, now, lo and behold, he’s part of one.
