Evan McMullin Is A Democrat And A FraudThe Federalist, Oct 20, 2022
Anyone who thinks Utah Senate candidate Evan McMullin is running as a true independent must be unfamiliar with where “McMuffin’s” campaign comes from.
For one, McMullin is running with the full endorsement of the Utah Democratic Party, which voted in April to back the former House staffer in his bid to unseat Republican Sen. Mike Lee. McMullin has leveraged the Democrat Party’s fundraising machine ever since, soliciting donors through ActBlue while contracting Democratic strategists to the tune of $1.6 million. So for an independent candidate, support behind the effort is remarkably partisan.
A closer look at the origins of McMullin’s campaign reveals the Senate hopeful as nothing more than the latest vehicle for the Lincoln Project to thwart the Republican agenda. The group of self-righteous political operatives who supposedly set out on a crusade to save the Republican Party from Donald Trump quickly morphed into an explicit enterprise to capitalize on Trump Derangement Syndrome while masquerading as white knight Republicans. Few if any of the group’s scandal-ridden co-founders, however, have worked on a legitimate Republican campaign in more than a decade, and at least one, Steve Schmidt, openly registered as a Democrat in December 2020.
The foundation for McMullin’s Senate run with a pro-abortion platform lies in the candidate’s first race as a failed presidential hopeful six years ago. McMullin’s entire political career has been one of GOP obstruction and sabotage, forcing the Republican Party to divert scarce resources from key contests to the futile challenges for an upset in Utah.
