This has got to receive much more attention, much more media. I’ve seen little drips and drabs of his cozying up to Blue, but this has to be used to pressure him.

The simple fact is there are a contingent of republicans that realize that their party is lost, but they can’t embrace fully our democratic agenda. So they help centrist democrats in the hopes that the number of centrists in political office increase, thereby giving them some buffer against representatives like AOC and others.

Get used to seeing this more, it is the new normal. I am sure that other democrats will be getting donations from republicans who are scared shitless of the nazi drift of their party.

but a fundraiser organized by oil and gas industry bigwigs

The host committee “includes titans of the Texas oil and gas industry — many of whom donate almost exclusively to Republicans,” according to the Tribune, as well as one Democrat, former Houston Mayor Bill White.
