NBC Runs Illegal Ad for Kamala Harris »
November 04, 2024
Groups Associated With the Harris-Walz Campaign Are Illegally Paying "Influencers" to Propagandize For Them -- and Change Their Votes
Deb Heine:
When Harris became the nominee, the "precision microinfluencer marketing" company "People First" set up a "creator portal" for influencers to "apply" for the job of promoting Harris. A post on the company's website, titled "Let's Win This Kamala," tells influencers that they will be expected to share three posts reflecting their support for Harris.
Join our campaign to help elect Kamala Harris in 2024! This campaign aims to educate your followers about the stakes of this election, increase positive associations with Harris, and build support with audiences like yours. Your voice is powerful -- and this is your opportunity to inspire, educate, and influence your community.
In a series of 3 posts online, you will share factual information and personal anecdotes that help your audience connect with your commitment to supporting Harris. We want to know your reasons for saying, "Let's Do It, Kamala!"
The website's IP address indicates that it started out as "Let's Do It Joe," but apparently switched to "Let's Win This Kamala" after Biden was forcibly retired.
People First also allegedly reaches out to influencers through email and offers them money to promote Harris.
Nicole Arbour, a Canadian comedienne, singer, actress, and YouTuber, said on her podcast, the Arbour Affect, Friday that she was contacted by several organizations, including People First, and offered $25,000 to support Harris. [Update: Arbour told American Greatness on Sunday that an influencer marketing agency called HypeClash also offered her "six figures" to explain on her podcast why she was switching her vote to Harris.]
TikTok star Meghan Corum went public with her story on Wednesday, claiming she was offered an astounding $50,000 to flip from being a Trump supporter to being a Harris supporter.
During her podcast, Arbour told her followers that she wanted to tell them what's been going on because this would be her last video before the election.
The comedienne noted that she has made fun of both Harris and Trump, but "I need you guys to know that when celebrities, influencers, musicians, whoever are promoting Harris--it's because they're paid."
Arbour said that she knows this because "different PACS, different groups" associated with the Harris campaign have approached her three times.
"They always come out with the same offer: 'we want you to promote Kamala, we want you to say these talking points'" she explained.
Arbour displayed an email she received from People First on Sept 8, offering "compensation" for three pro-Harris posts.
Arbour told American Greatness that other agencies and PACs have also reached out to her with lucrative offers for pro-Harris content.
More at the link. I know some have other theories about Kamala's celebrity endorsers.
Welcome to the Election Eve! Oh boy, was I on a Journey Into Anxiety this weekend due to some (dubious) poll numbers. I'll post about that later.
I'm just glad it's almost over. I'm pretty agitated!
I'm at that point where I'm like, "Doc, I don't care if the test results are good or bad, I just want to know them so that my brain can stop trying to predict the results."
In about 32 hours we'll know whether we still have a country or not.
Here's a little welcome-to-the-working-week for you:
