There's an individual here who is behind in the polls.
He's got some other crazies.
He's got a run behind as well.
And some of those are just really creepy individuals.
I'll save that for another show.
But what I do want you to understand about what George Conway is saying here and what is very real is the Democrats that are on the ballot, this is what they are running on.
This is the same party that already spied on the American people.
We know, in fact, now, and this coming from the blaze media, that the government funded a weapon to fight terrorism.
And instead, you want to know what happened?
They used it on the blaze.
A conservative news site, an agency established by Barack Obama backed companies that took steps to limit America's speech.
And it didn't take long for a federal government agency originally designed to censor certain foreign entities and curate their narratives on terrorism to literally be turned on Americans.
Now, this goes back to President Barack Obama.
He issued an executive order all the way back in 2011, establishing the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications within the State Department.
That doesn't sound threatening to any of us, right?
Well, you'd be wrong.
They weaponized this exact agency and the Strategic Counterterrorism Communication against conservatives.
Now, the agency was initially tasked with, quote, using communication tools to reduce radicalization by terrorists and extremist violence and terrorism that threaten the interests and national security of the United States, quote, unquote.
Obama then broadened the mission of the agency and renamed it the Global Engagement Center in another executive order just months prior to Donald Trump's election victory in 16.
Now, the Global Engagement Center, overseen by a steering committee of deep state officials, codified into law in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act and afforded both grant-making authority and the ability to, quote, leverage expertise from outside the federal government, eventually became, as one former intelligence source said, an incubator for the domestic disinformation complex, quote-unquote.
