From the Washington Free Beacon: When angry voters confronted Rep. Rich McCormick over DOGE at a town hall held in the Georgia Republican’s deep-red district, the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS News cited the scene as proof of emerging bipartisan “backlash” over Elon Musk’s efforts to slash government spending. CBS included a quote from one of the protest’s organizers, Maggie Goldman, describing her only as a McCormick constituent.
Goldman does live in McCormick’s district, though she’s far from a concerned supporter of the two-term Republican. A self-described “Democrat & Political Activist,” Goldman, who did not respond to a request for comment, coordinated volunteers for Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign in 2019 and 2020, according to her LinkedIn. Shortly thereafter, she ran for her local county commission as a Democrat seeking to enact a “more inclusive policy agenda.” Goldman has donated exclusively to Democrats and sent Kamala Harris’s campaign more than $1,500 last year, according to campaign finance records. On her Facebook page, she boasted of the national media attention the McCormick protest received, sharing screenshots of headlines alongside the caption, “We really were on 🔥🔥.”
Across the country, similar protests played out at House GOP town halls and district offices. The demonstrations drove mainstream media coverage of brewing backlash against the Trump administration as the lower chamber left Washington, D.C., for a week-long recess. Well-funded liberal organizations organized many of them.
The Free Beacon further explained that two major George Soros-funded groups, Indivisible and MoveOn, were leading the charge in organizing the anti-DOGE protests at town halls across the nation.
Both groups launched national “mobilization” efforts targeting the “Trump-Musk agenda” and “Trump-Musk coup” during the recess period. MoveOn said its “members and allies will show up at congressional-led town halls and congressional offices around the country, targeting House Republicans whose votes will be crucial in opposing Trump and Musk’s harmful policies.” Indivisible issued a “Musk or Us Recess Toolkit” that showed members how to find their local town halls and urged them to “take the fight to Elon.”
The protests you’re seeing in GOP districts around the country to stop @ElonMusk and @DOGE‘s mission to reduce government waste are being organized by George Soros-funded groups like Indivisible and MoveOn!@CAndersonMO has the story for @FreeBeacon: https://t.co/pFDqrWkDlh pic.twitter.com/8zWLmp8dtE

Turns out that the anti-Trump administration unrest occurring at red district town halls, which has been touted by corporate media as organic, is an astroturf operation funded by liberal billionaires like George Soros. https://t.co/EGxrguhkwN
