Dan Osborn is a candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska who is running as an independent, yet his campaign is being funded by donations from prominent Democrats and donations on the left-wing fundraising portal Act Blue.
The liberal media is playing along, as expected. Almost all coverage of Osborn describes him as an independent.
FOX News reports:
National Dems bankroll campaign of ‘fake independent’ Senate candidate from Midwestern stateLabor Union leader Dan Osborn, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska, has campaigned on being an “Independent,” going as far as saying he has no plans to caucus with either major party if elected, but his recent FEC filings paint a different picture.Osborn has not only been endorsed by leaders of the Nebraska Democratic Party and mobilized fundraising on ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s main fundraising platform. He has also accepted donations from several prominent Washington Democrats and Democrat political action committees.Among the donors to his campaign are the campaign of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and the PACs of former Democrat senators Bob Kerrey and Jon Tester. Democracy Summer, a leadership PAC founded by Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, also donated $2,000.The latest FEC filings, released last week, also show Osborn continues to accept fundraising support from The People United, a left-wing super PAC that has supported Democrat ‘Squad’ members like Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Summer Lee and Ilhan Omar.”As an independent, I’ll be uniquely positioned to bring together a majority to get it done,” Osborn’s “Where I Stand” webpage on his campaign website states in reference to securing the border from illegal immigration.
In this ABC News video, Jon Karl can barely contain his excitement about the possibility of Republicans losing a Senate seat in Nebraska.
Would the left really try to fool the American people by advancing a progressive candidate who claims to be an independent? Yes, they would. How do we know this? They told us.
As we reported back in March:
Bernie Sanders Now Urging Progressives to Run as Independents, Not DemocratsAs the Democratic party grapples with its current identity crisis, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), are rallying the faithful members of the left at a series of rallies at various locations.In what is a sign of the rift in the party, Sanders is talking up a new strategy which involves having progressive candidates run for office as independents, rather than Democrats.
This is deeply cynical and slimy.
It also demonstrates how desperate the left is to regain power.
