GOP group comes clean after getting busted 'meddling' in Dem primary elections: report [View all]

A Republican political action committee (PAC) that “initially took great effort” to hide their identity came clean Monday after admitting to Punchbowl News they had “meddled” in Democratic primaries in several states.

“Republicans are leveling the playing field after over a decade of Democrats meddling in our primaries,” said Samantha Bullock, a spokesperson for Conservative Americans PAC, speaking with Punchbowl News. “And with the Democrat Party in the midst of a civil war, Republicans would be stupid not to take advantage while pushing their candidates farther left.”

According to “a new trove of [Federal Election Commission] data” reviewed by Punchbowl News, Conservative Americans PAC had funded two seemingly Democratic groups: Lead Left PAC and Real Change PAC, two organizations that helped shape Democratic primaries in Nebraska, Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas. In total, Conservative Americans PAC dropped $4.4 million in May to “meddle in Democratic primaries.”
