House Republicans Double Down on Scammy Trump Fundraising Tactic

The language itself is eye-catching, but consistent with the trajectory of a party which sees no good reason to ditch Trump in order to return to power. But while Republican supporters probably don’t expect the National Republican Congressional Committee to actually tell Trump that they stopped donating — or the notoriously solipsistic figure of actually caring — the method of requiring people to opt out of a pre-checked box if they don’t want to pay is considered to be deceptive by campaign finance experts. It’s particularly tricky if the email tells a user that if they uncheck that box, they actually don’t support Trump.
