Jeff Lazarus: The guy who paid for that RFK ad gave $107 million to Republican candidates across 2020 and 2022.

The guy who paid for that RFK ad gave $107 million to Republican candidates across 2020 and 2022.

FURIOUSLY GOOGLES AMERICAN VALUES 2024

The single biggest donor to RFK's SuperPAC American Values 2024 was Timothy Mellon. Mellon gave $60 million to GOP candidates in 2020 and $47 million in 2022.

Mellon has given $15 million to RFK so far this election cycle. RFK's second biggest donor is Gavin DeBecker ($10 million) has a more bipartisan donation history.

Love to live in a democratic country where a guy with gobs of inter generational wealth uses it to prop up the democracy-ratfucking campaign of a nut job riding on his family name.

robbing his family name

How did Mellon get his money?

generational wealth, of course

That sucks. Gavin de Becker wrote a useful book called The Gift of Fear. I guess he's now into pushing that fear to its extremes.

Gavin de Becker! I’m kinda surprised (not that I can say I’ve followed his security career in any depth).

Knew it had to be MAGAts! Grrrrr! They will go to any lengths to get their dear leader into office.

Y’know, I still get annoyed that the CBS rejected an anti-bush ad in 2004, saying they wanted to stay out of politics. And now they’re happy to take the Jesus money and RFK.

That Kennedy ad must be aimed at octogenarians though. Mellon is 81.

I mean, they DO run the country.

Follow the money. Always.

The guy who paid for the ad might be misguided anticipating this campaign is going to hurt Biden more than Trump.

And regularly funds vaccine misinformation

Thank you, I was very WTF while that was airing

Kennedy, my name is Kennedy

🤦‍♀️ who was it?!?!

I mean, yeah, of course. RFK is very right wing. I think it surprises people who know the Kennedys as being liberal and aren't familiar with RFK from his anti vaccine bullshit.

Have yet to see a pic of RFK jr that doesn't look like he would seriously kill then eat your children

You can not outspend a Capitalist!

Pretty sure RFK is brain dead.

I wonder how he will feel if it ends up giving Dems the trifecta. No one has any idea how this will play out...

Thanks as I was just wondering if he paid for that ad himself…apparently not

They want to siphon votes and think „antivax“ could be a narrative to get „left voters“. That‘s their strategic complexity. 🤦‍♂️

And by using a sort of controversial figure to draw attention. Best ignored, really.

Polling seems to suggest he’s more of a spoiler for Trump, though, last I checked.
