It's literally a documented fact.

Has anyone reported on it aside from a self-proclaimed conservative news outlet?

Edit: Just found NPR reporting on it

That doesn’t change that this planet can’t burn up soon enough.

Yay context!

a number of Democrats tried to boost far-right Republican candidates whom they deemed easier to beat in November.

The strategy seems to have paid off: In high-profile races where Democratic candidates or groups successfully used the strategy during the primaries, all of the Republicans they helped have either lost or are trailing, two days after Election Day.

If the GOP wanted to counterattack, they could always start funding hyper-progressive candidates too 🙂

I think they discovered that was at least going on with Bernie

Yeah but then they stabbed him in the back because they were scared he would do well (which he probably would) and they are just as scared of the system actually being shaken up
