Working inside the Beltway, in public policy, you can imagine the insanity I am barraged with. I have set notifications on my devices only from CNN and BBC, cuz if I *really* want to know what’s happening I read your Substack. Spot on!

Interesting type of campaigning: Harris’ top allies reportedly reached out to the gay OnlyFans star Michael Doherty, 22, in an attempt to solicit him to produce anti-Trump content ahead of the Democratic National Convention. What they seemingly didn’t know, however, is that Doherty is a proud conservative who supports Trump!

From The New York Post:

“When this agency reached out to me, I was shocked,” the sex star and social-media influencer with 775,000 followers told The Post. “For one, I can’t believe the ‘when-we-go-low-they-go-high’ liberals would pay people to talk trash about Trump . . . Secondly, I can’t believe this agency would be so dumb as to not Google me.

“I’m conservative-leaning. I even wear American flag underwear and shoot guns on my OnlyFans,” The Long Island native.

“Just because I do OnlyFans, doesn’t mean I whore out my values. I would never sell out for Kamala Harris,” he added.

Instructions To Doherty Are Revealed

On July 26, Doherty received a solicitation from the influencer marketing company Palette MGMT. Future Forward, the largest and most influential Democratic SuperPAC currently in operation, requested this.

The content of what he was sent is nothing short of disturbing. It shows just how low Harris and those who support her are willing to go, just to make Trump look bad.

More from The Post:

“Hi Michael, I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out on behalf of one of Palette’s partners with an exciting paid offer to create and post anti-Trump content on TikTok,” senior marketing coordinator Fernanda Oliveira Araujo wrote in a missive shared with The Post.

The message promised $1,500 for a single TikTok video under 90 seconds in length. Araujo also shared a “creator brief” from Palette with the skinny on what Kamala-land was looking for.

“The new generation of 18 to 24-year-old American voters have forgotten what a Trump presidency looks like. In what is shaping up to be a competitive election year, we want to remind voters of the reality of Trump as president,” the prompt began.

The notice asked Doherty to make the video in the style of man-on-the-street interviews.

“Trump or my racist uncle at Thanksgiving,” was one suggested idea where Doherty could show voters “insane quotes from Trump and have people guess who said it.”

Palette also warned that any ad “could not show any form of support for Donald Trump and his allies” or show any “funny” moments from the former president “without providing context.”

This is just about as low as it gets!
