Liberal dark money groups spent a record-breaking $145 million to put Joe Biden where he is now, as reported by The Washington Times. And without a doubt they are cashing in. These groups are pushing Biden to nominate dark money appointees and pass their extreme left-wing policies onto the American people. Democrats have long loved to chide Republicans about their dark money ties, but the Democrats now truly have a dark money occupant of the presidency.
And Biden is already delivering for his dark money donors on a policy level. He canceled the permit for the Keystone pipeline, eliminating thousands of good-paying union jobs, and he is breaking all the promises of moderation he made in 2020.
Also, teachers’ unions have been the main political barrier to reopening schools. Despite the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation that schools can be safely reopened, the unions have been resisting. That is why Kamala Harris dodged questions about what Biden was doing to open schools; she didn’t want to anger her influential donors.
In 2020, 98% of Teachers’ Unions’ contributions went to Democrats.
Now, in the middle of this pandemic, America needs appointees with real experience, not people who will simply support left-wing money.
From top to bottom, Biden’s staff is filled with people affiliated with dark money. Following is a list of dark-money appointees, whose strongest qualifications are their dark-money connections:
Chief of staff, Ron Klain, was a board member of the dark money group CAP Action Fund before joining the Biden administration.
Gina McCarthy, the White House National Climate Adviser, led the Natural Resources Defense Council, a climate action dark money group that has received millions from the Sixteen Thirty Fund and the New Venture Fund. Those two funds come underneath the massive dark money umbrella of little-known Arabella Advisors, which moves half-a-billion dollars per year to left-wing organizations involved in policy and political campaigns.
Jennifer Granholm, Biden’s nominee for secretary of Energy. Ms. Granholm chaired a dark money think tank whose sister organization spent $60 million to help put Biden where he is now.
Xavier Becerra, Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If confirmed, Becerra will be beholden — not to struggling students and their taxpaying parents — but to the teachers’ unions that have helped him climb the political ladder. Teachers’ unions have had no qualms pulling out their checkbooks to support the political aspirations of Becerra. Note: He has received more than $50,000 from teachers’ unions in the past four years. In the words of Sen. Tom Cotton, Arkansas Republican: “As HHS Secretary, Mr. Becerra would weaponize the CDC to keep our schools closed and our children falling further behind. He must be stopped.” Mr. Cotton’s informed prediction would undoubtedly ring true.
Vanita Gupta, the nominee for associate attorney general will leverage her position to push a liberal, dark money-fueled agenda. Before her nomination, Gupta was CEO and president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Leadership Conference Education Fund, which received more than $1 million from groups affiliated with the shadowy leftist group Arabella Advisors. Last summer, when our cities were under attack, Gupta could have called for law and order but she demanded that dangerous convicts be released from jail, all under the guise of COVID-19. At the Department of Justice, Gupta is supposed to rigorously uphold existing law. Her record of liberal activism suggests she will do otherwise. Gupta has implicitly endorsed the main tenets of the defund-the-police movement. The ACLU, where she worked, has called for Biden to end the death penalty and commute sentences for dangerous criminals.
What say you Def-Con News readers? Biden is truly a dark money puppet. Each of the above-listed nominees are examples of how dark money groups have infiltrated the interloping Biden administration. Honesty and transparency are most definitely not commodities of the current inhabitants of D.C.
