NRCC warns donors Trump will find out if they opt out of monthly donations

The National Republican Congressional Committee threatened donors that it will tell former president Donald Trump that they are defectors if they opt out of giving recurring monthly funds to the campaign arm for the House GOP.

After donating to the NRCC, donors are shown a yellow box with a small pre-checked box that warns: “If you UNCHECK this box, we will have to tell Trump you’re a DEFECTOR.” Left checked and the supporter will be agreeing to contribute every month.

The tactic, roundly criticized by campaign finance experts as deceptive, was also employed by the Trump campaign from September until the 2020 election to shore up its dwindling coffers.

Anyone else think this is hilarious?

OMG, yes, R1. I laughed about it last night when I heard about it. Do these idiots need anymore proof of what their own party thinks of them? They're actually being treated like children who are told that if they're naughty, Santa will find out.

After everything, wouldn't this be the final straw? I can't imagine this doing anything but backfiring.

This sounds like something Trump wanted.

I'm sorry, Mr Trump. Do you have a second? It looks as though Dee Plorable unchecked that box. She's a DEFECTOR, would you like to have a word with her?

And what is he gonna do about it? Bitch can’t tweet anymore, it’s like HEAVEN since he left.

The money doesn't go to Trump, so he doesn't care where it goes or whether it's given.

Would we expect anything less after the Voter Fraud Hotline, Four Seasons, The Nazi Republican Convention, the insurrection, the Helsinki summit, his failed business ventures, and on and on? Everything is so amateurish it's astounding. This stunt isn't surprising.

This is like the shit I was told growing up: “ god is watching you, so be good.”

I guess with Deplorables options like "if you uncheck this box ... we're gonna KILL A KITTEN / force a random pregnant woman to have AN ABORTION!" would not have worked.
