A group of staffers who served on the failed John McCain presidential campaign in 2008, the failed Mitt Romney campaign in 2012, and in the George W. Bush White House is backing Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential bid. The same group, totaling about 200 aides, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, while a smaller group backed Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Mostly comprised of foreign policy aides and former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, the group repeats anti-Trump tropes regarding Russia. In their public letter backing Harris, they write: “Abroad, democratic movements will be irreparably jeopardized as Trump and his acolyte J.D. Vance kowtow to dictators like Vladimir Putin while turning their backs on our allies.”
The National Pulse reported on Monday that former National Security Advisor turned top Trump critic H.R. McMaster conceded that the long-debunked Russia collusion hoax hobbled some U.S. foreign policy efforts during the Trump administration. Democrat lawmakers and foreign policy officials who peddled the false conspiracy theory incidentally aided the efforts of Russia to sow discord in the United States and undermine our foreign policy goals, McMaster admits.
Among the signers are Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen, Mike Murphy, the McCain and Romney campaign strategist who oversway the spectacular collapse of Jeb Bush‘s 2016 campaign, and Mike Pence advisor Olivia Troye, who spoke before the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week. The letter also appears to accidentally list Jen Millikin—a Bush White House communications staffer—twice.
The group of Republican establishment figures, Iraq War cheerleaders, and failed presidential campaign staffers join the likes of former Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and retired judge J. Michael Luttig in backing the far-left, open borders policies of Kamala Harris.
Luttig infamously helped lead the campaign to attempt to subvert democracy and bar former President Donald J. Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment. He also served as Boeing‘s general counsel from 2006 until 2019.
