Democratic activists, tech execs plan to launch super PAC that will use Trump’s own tweets against him
Democratic activists are putting the finishing touches on a super PAC that plans to use President Donald Trump’s prolific tweeting habits against him.
The PAC, known as Defeat by Tweet, is planning to launch a site Friday that will allow donors to give recurring contributions to the organization every time the president tweets to his 82 million-plus followers on Twitter.
Those funds will then be used to finance get-out-the-vote organizations, along with criminal and social justice reform groups, such as the Color of Change and the Black Voters Matter Fund. The PAC also intends to reply to Trump on Twitter with a receipt of how much each tweet raised for the group.
