'A disaster’: How the Democrats could be ‘handling plutonium’ by backing far-right extremists (msn.com)
Democrats may be creating a self-inflicted disaster by spending tens of millions of dollars help extremist GOP candidates, Barack Obama's former chief strategist warned on CNN on Wednesday.
"There is concern and criticism tonight over Democratic strategy to help fund far-right candidates in Republican primaries," CNN's Anderson Cooper reported. "The plan is that these candidates, if nominated, will be so toxic for moderate voters that it would help Democrats.
"The latest is Dan Cox, who CNN projects will win the Republican nomination for governor in Maryland," Cooper said. "Cox an election denier. After the 2020 election, he said the former president should seize voting machines. He also chartered three buses to the Jan. 6 rally and he tweeted during the attack at the Capitol, 'Pence is a traitor.' According to Open Secrets, a news site that tracks politics and money, Democrats spent more than $1 million on tv ads highlighting the president's endorsement of Cox. A tactic, which is designed to boost his candidacy during the primary with Republicans, but also harm it during the general election. Open Secret also reports Democrats have spent nearly $44 million on ad campaigns in five states: California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois as well as Maryland."
