The pedophile-run Lincoln Project launched a new group on Tuesday which aims to infiltrate classrooms across America.
The Franklin Project will spread anti-Trump propaganda through “civics education” and grassroots organizing, according to co-executive director Greg Jenkins.
- Lincoln will keep airing its brash, anti-Trump ads while Franklin will focus on nonpartisan education and collaboration tailored to build consensus.
- “We’re not the megaphone; we’re the convener,” Jenkins said.
Axios.com reports: The Lincoln Project was a breakout star of the 2020 campaign, a group launched by Republicans opposed to Donald Trump. Its signature was quick-turnaround ads attacking him and his policies.
- It faltered earlier this year when John Weaver, one of its co-founders, was accused of soliciting sex from men who had sought to work with the Lincoln Project and his other political ventures.
- The group severed ties with Weaver and several of its other founders also resigned in the aftermath of the news.
- The Lincoln Project is a super PAC, or a political group that can raise and spend unlimited sums on explicitly political activity. The Franklin Project will be a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. Such so-called dark money advocacy organizations do not have to disclose their donors.
Franklin organizers believe civics discussions have devolved from an exchange of ideas to “an unhealthy game of winners and losers,” as their prospectus states. That’s triggered extreme partisanship, fueling the rise of authoritarian figures.
- The Franklin Project plans to develop and provide a K-12 civics education program it will offer free to local school districts.
- It also will establish the “Democracy Corps,” a hyper-local movement spread across the nation “that will advocate for and amplify the values upon which America was founded,” the prospectus says.
- The project does not plan to align with or endorse candidates, offering a true big tent to anyone feeling misrepresented by either major party, or left out of the current political system, said Jenkins, who is leading the group with co-executive director Erin Dobson, a veteran communications strategist.
What they’re saying: “There are plenty of frustrated people out there who don’t know what to do, don’t know where to go, they don’t feel like either of the parties are representing them adequately, and they’re right. So, what we will do is tell these folks, ‘Listen, you’re not alone,’” Jenkins told Axios.
- “We’re going to provide you content that reminds you about your roles — as a citizen, what it means to be a citizen, what you can do.”
- “If progressives and conservatives don’t feel at home with us, then they have a problem,” said Jenkins. “Self-identified Republicans and Democrats ought to feel perfectly at home.”
