Report: Anti-Sanders Democratic Political Group Targets South Carolina Black Voters
The Big Tent Project claims “that ‘Trump will crush Bernie on taxes and spending’ and conclude: ‘Nominating Bernie means we re-elect Trump.'”
Axios reported on Sunday night that a Democratic political group that promotes moderate candidates have targeted black voters in South Carolina.
The Big Tent Project “sent hundreds of thousands of mailers bashing Bernie Sanders to black voters” who voted for him in 2016.
Sanders has won New Hampshire and Nevada, which elevated him to the top of the 2020 Democratic primary.
The moderate candidates have split the votes in the primary, which has helped Sanders become the front runner.
From Axios:
The details: The mailers, which will go to 215,000 people and cost roughly $100,000, charge that several of Sanders’ most ambitious policy proposals — such as free college tuition — are unrealistic and wildly expensive.
- They also assert that “Trump will crush Bernie on taxes and spending” and conclude: “Nominating Bernie means we re-elect Trump.”
- The Sanders campaign did not respond to requests for a comment.
The big picture: This mailer is one piece of the efforts by Big Tent — a 501(c)(4) — (C4s are able to mask their donors).
- It has another $700K at its disposal to target various South Carolina voters before the Feb. 29 primary, the last before the multi-state Super Tuesday contests on March 3.
- Big Tent dropped $200k on two ads in Nevada, Politico first reported, as part of a test run in their campaign to cripple Sanders’ ahead of the Feb. 22 caucuses.
- The group’s executive director is Jonathan Kott, a former top aide to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.).
How wonderful is it that neoliberal “democrats” are using Trump-like attack ads against Bernie Sanders. Absolutely shameful, Big Tent Project. pic.twitter.com/WGp1484Adu

More astroturf from the DNC.
The group’s executive director is Jonathan Kott, a former top aide to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.).
Very effective folks. Got WV to elect a Dem who is actually like any other Dem and voted twice to remove Trump.
We need a big R turnout for Bernie in the open SC primary.

“The moderate candidates have split the votes in the primary, which has helped Sanders become the front runner.” Mary, each of the other Democrat candidates is currently to the left of Barack Obama, the most left wing President we have ever had. Please do not refer to them as “moderate”; “less radical” might be more accurate.

The dems deserve bernie. I hope he’s the candidate and PDJT and the pro Trump candidates wipe the dems out.
To the point that nancy will retire or quit knowing she’s never going to get another government plane loaded with booze again.
Didn’t Pelosi once waste $80k on booze for her govt provided plane? It’s been years but I remember that she had chocolate covered strawberries also.
I shouldn’t say waste. Maybe spend is better word.
No. The story you’re thinking of is about the total cost to the air force of congressional delegations she led, over a period of several years. By the way, Pelosi doesn’t drink.
