ActBlue was started way back in 2004 basically because Democrats hated George W. Bush. Then, the PAC helped Obama get elected and also raised a ton of money for Kamala Harris after Biden dropped out of the last Presidential election. Now, they have big problems.
ActBlue's comms team is now accusing both the New York Times AND their OWN LAWYERS of lying in the SAME press release.

We're in uncharted territory folks, a truly generational comms team meltdown. pic.twitter.com/MU5SQ148so
ActBlue is used to corporate media running interference for them, so this feels very unfamiliar to them and they are lashing out.

They are rearranging chairs on a ship that is going down.
They have no idea how to handle a hostile press...because the press normally uncritically reprints whatever they say.

It's like their comms team is being run by George Bluth

Basically. They are in the lashing out phase of crisis communications management.
Oh hell yes.

It couldn't happen to more awful people.
It's a nuclear event that has occurred within ActBlue and it's incredibly cathartic

I think they're so used to the major media having their back, they don't know what to do when that support is withheld.

I had a friend who interviewed for a job at ActBlue. They told him he was perfect for the job but it would look bad if they hired another straight white guy.

Seems like a good company.
Sounds about right.
Are we sure this isn't the same comms team as Gavin Newsom @GovPressOffice ?

They are both insane and awful.
Oh lord, they're desperate. They're just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

Me thinks the ActBlue peeps doth protest too much.

Ok I’m confused. Is this one rat throwing another rat under the bus? https://t.co/4bwYjJH7dp

It appears that way.

It will be illuminating.
Didn’t Obama’s pod bros direct fire fundraising money to ActBlue?? https://t.co/duR2gVqlqQ

Amazing to me that their offices haven’t been raided. We know how this would go if it was WinRed https://t.co/Qu8jTfk6SM
