Classic that someone whose spoiler plan is to prey on the uncommitted speaks of "commitment."

Clips from Influence Watch:

Funding: No Labels has received funding from numerous major donors. Hedge fund manager Louis Bacon, a donor to Republicans including Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), began backing No Labels in 2018 when he gave $1 million to the organization’s associated PACs. James Murdoch, one of the more liberal members of the family of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, has given at least $1.2 million to New Labels’ associated PACs. Billionaire Nelson Peltz was a heavy donor to President Donald Trump and gave $900,000 to New Labels’ associated PACs. Other large PAC donors have included lawyer Dan Webb and financier Howard Marks.

Controversies: Several interviews by Politico of former staffers and those claiming to be familiar with the group have made a series of allegations regarding the organization’s “toxic” culture and hinting at “internal discord.” 18 Such allegations include hiring those previously fired from other jobs due to sexual assault allegations,... “The internal environment of No Labels is a hostile one which is clear by the fact that no one stays there very long…You either agree blindly to everything the CEO wants or they get rid of you.”
