Rep. Jared Golden recently claimed that Indivisible, one of many pro-democracy grassroots organizations, is funded by dark money. This “dark money” claim is typical MAGA disinformation.
The reason so many Democrats claim that a politician who supports MAGA should not pretend to be a Democrat is because the Democratic party, at least in Maine, stands for democracy, the Constitution, the rule of law and human rights. The current White House authoritarian regime, not interested in upholding the Constitution, demands only loyalty from Congress. When Golden spouts MAGA propaganda, he is displaying loyalty.
Hopefully Golden, like several congresspeople before him, will be honest enough to change his affiliation. The people of this country need as many pro-democracy advocates as possible, like those who are part of Indivisible, and we cannot afford to have divisive politicians pretending to be Democrats sabotaging our efforts.
