A digital marketing firm closely linked to the pro-Trump youth group Turning Point USA was responsible for a series of deceptive Facebook ads promoting Green party candidates during the 2018 US midterm elections, the Guardian can reveal.

quote:

In an apparent attempt to split the Democratic vote in a number of close races, the ads purported to come from an organization called America Progress Now (APN) and used socialist memes and rhetoric to urge leftwing voters to support Green party candidates.

quote:

Facebook was aware of the true identity of the advertiser – the conservative marketing firm Rally Forge – and the deceptive nature of the ads, documents seen by the Guardian show, but the company determined that they did not violate its policies.

quote:

Rally Forge would go on to set up a pro-Trump domestic “troll farm” for Turning Point Action, a “sister” organization of Turning Point USA, in 2020, earning a permanent ban from Facebook.

Liberal fricktards have been doing this for as long as they have existed...get bent.

10-1 this is another in the long, distinguished lists of blatant lies that democrats and the media perpetuate.

Who cares? I've seen far worse strategy from the left.
It's not misinformation or fraud. People can still vote for whoever they want.

No problem. The Democrats kicked the Green Party off the ballot in key states in the 2020 election.

Dems: “We need easy voting access for every single American. As long as they vote for us.”
