Trump Campaign Files FEC Complaint Over British Labour Party Members Campaigning For Cackles

I’m sure nothing will come of this, but, one has to wonder what the visas of these elected government members will say the purpose of their visit is, and, really, how would the British take it if Trump came over to the UK to campaign for specific politicians

Trump accuses Labour of interfering in US election in extraordinary statement calling Starmer’s party far left

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign team has formally accused Sir Keir Starmer’s “far-left” Labour Party of interfering in the US election in an extraordinary attack.

The Trump-Vance campaign filed a complaint with the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) accusing Labour of illegal foreign campaign donations.

It comes after scores of Labour activists including frontline politicians flew across the Atlantic to help campaign for Kamala Harris’s election on 5 November.

In a statement, the Trump campaign’s co-manager Susie Wiles claimed: “The far-left Labour Party has inspired Kamala’s dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric.

“In recent weeks, they have recruited and sent party members to campaign for Kamala in critical battleground states, attempting to influence our election.”

Supposedly, this has happened with previous elections with Brits helping Democrats and Republicans. Should this be happening at all?

The Trump campaign complaint cited a Daily Telegraph report suggesting Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, and Matthew Doyle, his director of communications, “attended a convention in Chicago and met with Ms Harris’s campaign team”.

The complaint also cited a now-deleted LinkedIn post from Sofia Patel, head of operations at the Labour Party, who wrote that “nearly 100” current and former Labour Party staff would be travelling to the US to help elect Ms Harris.

Mr Trump’s lawyers argue such support amounts to “contributions” from foreign actors, in violation of US campaign finance laws.

Not direct contributions, but, “in-kind”.

Of course, how much damage could they really do? But, now, imagine it was a whole bunch of Brit government officials coming over to campaign for Trump: does anyone think the Credentialed Media wouldn’t be blowing their stacks over “election interference”?

This tipp insights article is really about Democrats claiming they represent Democracy! while systematically dismantling it, but, the beginning is interesting

Campaigning at a town hall on Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris returned to the theme of globalism as a direct challenge to former President Trump’s MAGA movement. She was in a friendly setting again, promoting the Uniparty’s NeoCon vision for America’s standing in the world that did not permit audience questions – and allowed only pre-determined questions that presumably had been shared with Harris prior to the event.

So I’ve now, as Vice President, met over 150 world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, chancellors, and kings; many of them multiple times to the point where we are on first name terms. And the last few times I’ve seen them on the eve of this election, they are very concerned, our allies [about former President Trump returning to the White House]. (snip through a few more quotes on how non-Americans feel)

It was downright absurd for Harris to inject the needs of foreign leaders into an American presidential election. Harris was saying that Americans should vote for her because she would protect the interests of foreign allies. If a foreigner had engaged in a campaign to influence a federal election, they would have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) or the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Hmm, is that not what these Brits are doing?
