GOP Campaign Arm Reports Record Fundraising: Going to Fire Pelosi in 2022, Stop Socialist Agenda
The National Republican Congressional Committee reported last week that it shattered the record for its largest-ever off-election-year monthly haul by $3.6 million.
The NRCC raised $19.1 million in March and $33.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, according to a news release.
The House campaign arm of the GOP further stated it ended the quarter “with $29.7M cash on hand which is a 57% increase over the same point last cycle.”
The NRCC also said it is debt-free and had an average grassroots donation of $32.70.
“Republican voters are motivated to fire Nancy Pelosi, stop Democrats’ socialist agenda and take back the House,” NRCC spokesman Michael McAdams said in a statement.
These numbers also show reports of the GOP’s demise in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion were greatly exaggerated in the breathless media accounts about many abandoning the Republican Party from outlets like The New York Times, NPR and Reuters.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the NRCC’s counterpart, waited a week after the Republicans to report its first-quarter fundraising numbers.
The DCCC said in a Tuesday news release it had raised $34.1 million in the first quarter, with $30.3 million cash on hand, coming up with slightly more than the NRCC in both categories.
However, the DCCC’s first-quarter filing is not online yet with Federal Election Commission, but as of February, the committee reported $11 million in debt.
The DCCC’s news release did not indicate how much of the debt, if any, the committee had retired.
In last November’s election, Republicans won every district listed as a toss-up by The New York Times and some it predicted Democrats would win by a narrow margin.
In the process, the GOP flipped 15 seats with an overall net gain of 12 seats.
“Every state that had a Republican majority before the 2020 election kept it going into this year, and three more were added — two in New Hampshire, one in Alaska, as well as a net gain of one Republican governor in Montana,” Walker said.
“[I]f you look ahead to 2022, particularly at the U.S. House of Representatives, most — not every — but most states are going to draw the boundaries in the state legislature, not only for those legislative seats but for just about every House seat,” he added.
In other words, Republicans’ prospects in the House are quite good, Walker argued, because of how well they did in their state legislative races.
“Conservatives having overwhelming majorities means that just drawing fair maps, I think will make it fairly likely that Republicans, if they run good candidates and stay true to the word, will probably regain the U.S. House of Representatives,” he said.
The current breakdown in the House is 222 Democrats and 213 Republicans, which means the GOP needs to win only five seats to fire Pelosi.
Fox News reported that in modern times, the party that holds the White House traditionally loses 25 seats in the midterms.
Of course, in 2010 during Barack Obama’s first presidential term, the tea party movement helped sweep 63 new Republican members into office, giving them a 242 to 193 majority.
Pelosi was speaker at the time and lost her gavel after holding it for four years.
Here’s hoping history repeats itself in 2022.
During the election season, the establishment media were working overtime to dig up stories that would hurt former President Donald Trump’s chances at re-election. Now one of those major stories is increasingly coming into doubt.
A June 26 report from The New York Times claimed that Russia had offered secret bounties to militants in Afghanistan to encourage them to kill American troops.
This story caused major outrage and led Democrats to levy accusations of treason against Trump. Leftists said at the time that the president’s relationship with Russia’s Vladimir Putin had put American troops in danger.
At the time, Trump called the report “fake news,” saying on Twitter, “Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @nytimesbooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad!!!”
On Thursday, he seemed to be proven right.
A senior intelligence official told reporters that the U.S. had “low to moderate confidence” in the bounty allegations, The Wall Street Journal and many other outlets reported.
“Translated from the jargon of spyworld, that means the intelligence agencies have found the story is, at best, unproven — and possibly untrue,” The Daily Beast said.
It said information regarding the alleged bounties came from “detainee reporting,” which suggests that someone who was being held in a cage may have fabricated the story in order to be set free.
Once again, the establishment media is only willing to report the truth after the election has ended and their candidate of choice has taken office. We have seen this countless times, ranging from stories about Hunter Biden to Andrew Cuomo.
“There were reasons to doubt the story from the start,” The Daily Beast said in Thursday’s article. “Not only did the initial stories emphasize its basis on detainee reporting, but the bounties represented a qualitative shift in recent Russian engagements with Afghan insurgents.”
“Russian operatives have long been suspected of moving money to various Afghan militants: an out-of-favor former Taliban official told The Daily Beast on the record that Russia gave them cash for years. But the Russians had not been suspected of sponsoring attacks on U.S. forces outright — an escalation that risked confrontation with the U.S., and occurring long after it could have made a difference in the war.”
This sentence quite literally contradicts its previous reporting. In the July article about the aforementioned former Taliban official, The Daily Beast quoted him saying, “The Taliban have been paid by Russian intelligence for attacks on U.S. forces — and on ISIS forces — in Afghanistan from 2014 up to the present.”
The Daily Beast began publishing on October 6, 2008. Its founding editor was Tina Brown, a former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker as well as the short-lived Talk magazine. Brown stepped down as editor in September 2013.[4] John Avlon, an American journalist and political commentator as well as a CNN contributor, was the site's editor-in-chief and managing director from 2013 to 2018.[5][6][7] The name of the site was taken from a fictional newspaper in Evelyn Waugh's novel Scoop.[8] IN other words The Daily Beast is a left centered 'news' org.
