Never-Trumpers are scrambling to find new work after their devastating defeat in November.
And they are trying every trick in the book to try and keep their grift going.
But top DeSantis aide Christina Pushaw just dropped a truth bomb on this Never-Trump grifter that has him ducking for cover.
Disgraced former Republican political operative Rick Wilson co-founded the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.
Tens of millions of dollars were spent for no other reason than hatred of America First
The Lincoln Project raised and spent tens of millions of dollars, mostly from Democrat dark money billionaires, in an effort to stop Donald Trump.
They, of course, failed spectacularly, although Wilson and his cronies pocketed a nice payday for their failed efforts.
But after the grift failed the Lincoln Project leaders are all looking for a new grift.
Wilson has announced that he is now a senior adviser to a new group called the Two Plus Two Coalition.
According to the New York Times, the group plans to go after Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch by uncovering “the hidden sources of disinformation and expose them for what they are.”
They also plan to shed light on how they are operating “as an opposition research firm but with a military-grade intelligence-gathering operation that went far beyond the document vetting typical of a political campaign.”
The Two Plus Two Coalition, according to the Times, “asked donors for a minimum investment of $1 million, and was aiming for an annual budget of $10 million to $15 million.”
It is unclear how much of that money will simply go into the pockets of Wilson and other anti-Trump grifters.
At least Wilson has seemingly given up on targeting conservative donors and is instead spending his time hitting up left-wing billionaires.
Christina Pushaw brings the boom down on Rick Wilson
Christina Pushaw served as Governor Ron DeSantis’ Press Secretary and as the Rapid Response Director for the Ron DeSantis presidential campaign.
She is also a widely respected conservative influencer with more than 330,000 followers on X and even more on Instagram and TikTok.
Pushaw has never been afraid to weigh in on controversial topics and give her unedited take on politics.
She had some brutal words for Rick Wilson after his announcement of his new efforts.
She recently posted on X, “The best thing Rick Wilson ever did for the GOP was to leave the party and pursue a lucrative career fleecing liberal donors who might otherwise give money to groups that actually help Democrats.”

Once again, Pushaw hit the nail on the head.
Wilson has long been considered by most conservatives to be nothing more than a grifter with no real principles other than making millions by fleecing donors for his pet projects.
And he jumped on the Never Trump bandwagon with the now disgraced Lincoln Project.
As several conservative and GOP operatives have noted, one of the best things that came out of the rise of Donald Trump was the unmasking of charlatans like Wilson.
And Christina Pushaw, for one, is not afraid to call Wilson and his anti-Trump comrades for their sleazy actions.
