A source of mine familiar with Working Families Party's inner dynamics told me at the time of the
@ewarren endorsement that they were "broke" and expect more money to come into it as a result of Warren endorsement. In light of this news, it goes without saying....Show this thread -
1)
@WorkingFamilies should've disclosed this at time of its endorsement for Warren 2) WFP should immediately release their MEMBERSHIP tallies for how their membership voted bw@ewarren and@BernieSanders (which they did in 2016)Show this thread -
The last time the Wayback Machine shows a snapshot of Warren’s daughter Amelia listed on the Demos Board of Trustees page was May of this year.pic.twitter.com/itUywpzJYQ

I'd say $45K to
@WorkingFamilies from Demos isn't exactly game-changing...six figure checks are. But source familiar with WFP tells me the Demos $$ to WFP was a "signal" that there's more where that came from if WFP were to endorse Warren.Show this thread -
It should also be noted---WFP itself was pushing the
@BernieSanders supporters are sending harassing tweets and are "racist" after the@ewarren endorsement....without providing much evidence of such. This of course doesn't mean there wasn't isolated examples of volatile tweetsShow this thread -
But WFP was itself pushing this with media outlets---an odd thing to do publicly if you genuinely respect and appreciate
@BernieSanders (as they said they do) and consider him to be your second choice. This was right out of@HillaryClinton and David Brock's playbookShow this thread -
Lastly, and maybe the MOST troubling...Warren's campaign treasurer is STILL on the board of
@Demos_Org---who donated $45K to@WorkingFamilies. This also was not disclosed by WFP. THIS STINKS TO THE HIGH HEAVENS.https://publicintegrity.org/federal-politics/elizabeth-warren-president-pac-money-treasurer/ …Show this thread -

If the son of
@BernieSanders was the head of a lemonade stand and that lemonade stand donated to @WorkingFamiliesParty and then WFP endorsed Bernie.... 1) MSNBC would switch from#RussiaGate to#BernieGate 2) Washington Post would write 125 negative Bernie stories in 16 hoursShow this thread -
Closing the circle—
@Demos_Org—the think tank that@ewarren’s daughter is chairwoman (as of May) signed the letter from@WorkingFamilies decrying “harassment” from@BernieSanders supportershttps://medium.com/@aliciagarza_78013/a-letter-from-our-movement-to-our-movement-265b89c4c9e4 …Show this thread -

@Demos_Org made $229,523 in grants for 2017-2018. The $45,000 in grants to@WorkingFamilies makes up 20% of their overall grants. That’s a fairly significant amount for a donation-based organization.pic.twitter.com/uK2WEKJd6E
