Red-District DOGE Protests, Cited As Proof of Broad Musk 'Backlash,' Were Organized By Left-Wing Groups
Free Beacon ^ | 2/25/25 | Collin Anderson

Posted on 02/25/2025 6:22:54 AM PST by CFW

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 🔥🔥."

As I suspected and as I mentioned in a thread the other day, the supposed protests and conservatives and showing up at GOP townhall meetings and objecting to Trump and Musk's DOGE efforts, is actually being done by Democrats.

of course they were.

And it wouldn’t matter if 60 million people were in the streets. Because that would simply be the 60 million losers that voted for the retard Kamala

What a pitiful subterfuge. Proves that WaPo reporters, who didn’t take the time to uncover the partisan scheme, are propagandists.

It’s going to be hard to find protesters now that federal employees are back in the office. They may not want to give up their weekends or paid holidays either.

Probably paid for by the USAID funds that were hidden.

Unions do NOT want DOGE looking at how they have been funding their operations for 30 years.
