WHY is Project Lincoln producing video for the Preserve America PAC?

Sometimes you have to remember to take some folk with a grain of salt



On edit: Here is a link to the PAC's page where they say it: https://ballotpedia.org/Preserve_America#External_links

On edit: that first tweet was taken down, so I will post the content of the subsequent tweets for clarity. The first tweet linked to a pic of Preserve America PAC showing that Project Lincoln produced their ad. Could be a bad info post on the PAC's end, but the question deserves to be asked.

Preserve America PAC is a VERY anti-Biden PAC and it stands to good reason to question why they would help them if they want Biden elected.

Subsequent tweet content:
I knew when I posted the info questioning the Lincoln Project I would be hit hard with pushback. I asked them for comment repeatedly on twitter. Please be kind. I just ask the hard questions even if they make people uncomfortable. I’m out.

Subsequent tweet content: I am getting my ass kicked over this in DMs so I am taking a twitter break. I am sure it was a typo. Clearly Project Lincoln is anti-trump and would never help Preserve America. My bad. Sorry

I got the feeling that the last tweet was being facetious, but maybe I am too tweeked with RBG. Maybe they're not actually doing it (LP) but the original tweet showed 2 ads that Preserve America said LP did for them

grain of salt, not outright dismissal. just sayin'

Never heard of the PAC. What exactly is LP doing for them (and are they really?) hlthe2b Sep 2020 #3
Not sure and not sure...hence the grains of salt Baltimike Sep 2020 #7

I think someone should reach out to LP to inquire about it. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #10
It was an outdated Tweet from LP... DemsIn2020 Sep 2020 #4

they've spent MILLIONS against him, so if LP wants Biden elected, why are they helping them?

I trust the twitter account though. She wouldn't post willy nilly.

where they say this was produced by the LP. LP was created after the midterms to stop Trump. Anyone tryna say 'this is old" is wrong, because LP itself isn't that old: https://ballotpedia.org/Preserve_America#External_links

Why she took it down.

Anyways, LP is anti- Biden. They are just more anti-Trump.

If Joe gets in they will be posting shit about him.
