Hustling Harris is PAYING online influencers to trash Trump—including OnlyFans models

“Just because I do OnlyFans, doesn’t mean I whore out my values,” one influencer said.

The best things in life are free.

Unless, of course, you’re Kamala Harris. Then it seems money can indeed buy happiness and, potentially, even the White House.

See, it turns out that the 59-year-old VP has indirectly been offering to pay influencers for anti-Trump propaganda in advance of the Democratic convention, which runs from August 19-22.

A number of social media ‘stars’ have already been approached since Biden dropped out of the race, with more expected to be solicited in the remaining 90-day sprint of Harris’s campaign.

One of those influencers is an OnlyFans model with 750,000 fans. 

Michael Doherty, 22, received a surprise email from Palette MGMT, an influencer marketing company, on July 26. Seeking his help to sway voters, they’d been instructed by Future Forward—the largest and most influential Democratic SuperPAC operating today— to create online content that would trash Trump and promote Harris.

“Hi Michael, I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out on behalf of one of Palette’s partners with an exciting paid offer to create and post anti-Trump content on TikTok,” senior marketing coordinator Fernanda Oliveira Araujo wrote in an email to Doherty.

The message promised $1,500 for a single TikTok video under 90 seconds in length.

Sounds good, right? Except for one small problem—Doherty, from Long Island, is a Trump supporter, not a Harris fanboy. 

Now, he is understandably incredulous that Future Forward, who have a budget of $150 million after big pledges from top Democrat donors, could be so lazy in their research.

“When this agency reached out to me, I was shocked,” the content creator told the New York Post

“For one, I can’t believe the ‘when-we-go-low-they-go-high’ liberals would pay people to talk trash about Trump. Secondly, I can’t believe this agency would be so dumb as to not Google me. 

“I’m conservative-leaning. I even wear American flag underwear and shoot guns on my OnlyFans. Just because I do OnlyFans, doesn’t mean I whore out my values. I would never sell out for Kamala Harris,” he added.

Future Forward did not respond to requests for comment.

However, they’re not the only outfit who are hustling for Harris. A constellation of Democratic political organizations are also paying influencers for propaganda. These include: American Bridge, NextGen America, Priorities USA Action, and Community Change.

Together, they pay up to $10,000 for a single video on TikTok, while simultaneously giving vloggers talking points, resources, and language pointers to help them write their scripts. 

While not illegal, this practice means that the so-called ‘online buzz’ surrounding Harris is augmented at best, fraudulent at worst.

This begs the question: what else about the Harris/Walz campaign is an illusion? How much is it smoke and mirrors as opposed to genuine grassroots support?

Given Walz recently ‘misspoke’ about his military service, and there have been questions about Harris campaigners using AI graphics to bolster rally audiences, it seems there are a number of falsifications floating about. 

The latest revelation coincides with Harris needing rappers to get crowds at her rallies; both Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion pocketed huge sums to ‘support’ Harris at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia.

The latter even promoted her latest single at the event.

Meanwhile, other performers such as Common, Questlove, Lil Nas X, Cardi B and Beyonce Knowles have also posted ringing endorsements on X—posts that could easily have been paid for by Democratic organizations.

Only recently they paid for Grammy award-winning indie folk band Bon Iver to perform at a Harris/Walz rally in Wisconsin. Presumably, they thought this would woo Midwesterners.

After all, the band has a history of political engagement, including performances for Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020, and a 2018 show in Madison supporting U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

It seems to be working, too. Although the account Kamalahq has 6 million fewer TikTok followers than Trump, her campaign videos have more than twice the number of likes, indicating a higher engagement rate.

This means Republicans need to pull out all the stops if they want to succeed in November. After all, for the first time in U.S. history, this election is likely to be fought on social media, rather than in the legacy press.

And, no, TruthSocial won’t cut it. 

Over to you, Elon.
