Legal action against Democratic Party allies exposed alleged plans to thwart challenges to President Joe Biden from those with the “gall to say they were fighting to protect our democracy.”
Throughout the pearl-clutching of the 2024 presidential election cycle as leftists reiterated “democracy is on the ballot,” numerous efforts strived to keep opponents like then-former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from having ballot access.
Now, according to a report from the Washington Post, elaborate schemes have also been hatched to disrupt third-party efforts from the No Labels political organization. As three courtroom battles were underway at the federal level, discovery produced telling proposals showing the lengths Biden allies were willing to take to keep his ultimately suspended re-election campaign unopposed.
“Our main focus should be brand destruction but, where possible, we also need to throw up any and all roadblocks to stop them from being successful at signature-gathering,” a statement from anti-No Labels strategist Lucy Caldwell read in one disclosed document.
Elsewhere, a proposed “Direct Action Campaign” called to harass No Labels founder Nancy Jacobson and her husband, Mark Penn, once an adviser to the Clintons.
Ideas included hiring clowns “to hang out on their block,” dispatching a “truck carrying musical performers” to play outside their home early in the morning, posting fliers around their neighborhood with personal attacks and even flying a banner over the Harvard University graduation to disparage Penn who chairs the school’s Harris Poll.
“Everyone loves a good wake-up action — especially the neighbors,” read the email detailed by the Daily Mail. “For this, we’d show up at 6 am with a truck carrying musical performers and activists marching and chanting. It usually lasts an hour. We can hire Getty to get the event on the wire.”
“The overall cost of this proposal is $180,000 in the low range to $400,000 for 2-4 months of intense activity,” the email suggested.
Prior to the proposal email on May 3, 2023, a mobile billboard had been dispatched to a brunch for the White House Correspondents’ Association that included images of Jacobson and Trump with the message, “There is no place for MAGA hate in Georgetown.”
“One important and effective method to uplift this battle against No Labels is to go directly to their minions in Congress,” read the proposal which called for plans to “bird dog” lawmakers from the Problem Solvers Caucus.
“We will have activists calmly talk to them in the hallways while being recorded. We can then post and share the good videos. We can hit up the entire Problem Solvers Caucus in the House and their key allies in the Senate,” it stated. “We will name and shame the members of the Problem Solvers Caucus who are affiliated with No Labels.”
An additional effort to smear the organization, that ultimately failed to nominate a presidential candidate, was the focus of a civil trial in Delaware that accused anti-No Labels activists of buying the NoLabels.com domain name and publishing claims that Trump supported them on a site meant to appear official.
The nonprofit said to be behind the action garnered funds from anonymous donors and U.S. District Judge Gregory Williams issued a temporary restraining order and authorized legal discovery to “ascertain the identity of all individuals and organizations involved in the Infringing website and Infringing Domain.”
A statement from No Labels volunteer legal adviser Dan Webb told the Post, “These operatives had the gall to say they were fighting to protect our democracy. In reality, they undermined it at every turn with frivolous lawsuits, character assassination, and outright lies designed to prevent No Labels from exercising our constitutional right to get ballot access.”
“If you are wondering why Americans are losing faith in our democracy and so many of our country’s self-anointed elites,” he asserted, “this is Exhibit A.”
