The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is spending big time to support pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries, and Democrats are furious.

Recently, the DCCC spent half a million dollars to support pro-Trump John Gibbs in a primary against a more moderate Republican.
Democrats, who want you to believe they are dedicated to protecting democracy, are meddling in a primary to oust one of the few Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after Jan 6th. https://t.co/OSrlHWRTew

The DCCC apparently believes the pro-Trump candidates will have less of a chance of beating the Democrat, but “meddling” in the Republican primary has gotten a lot of pushback.
“No race is worth compromising your values in that way,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.), told Politico.
Democrats have expressed outrage.
I’m disgusted that hard-earned money intended to support Democrats is being used to boost Trump-endorsed candidates, particularly the far-right opponent of one of the most honorable Republicans in Congress, @RepMeijer. Another reason to reform our broken campaign finance system. https://t.co/hhKYcLVmxk

News of the infighting created a lot of stir on Twitter.
Some screenshots from the DCCC’s latest “attack” ad on Trump-backed primary challenger John Gibbs in Michigan, where he’s in final week of campaign to unseat Pete Meijer.

It’s not just any Democrat doing this. It’s literally the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paying for this John Gibbs (R) ad. @DCCC is the House Democrats official campaign arm & they’re running TV ads on behalf of an election conspiracy theorist in #MI03‘s GOP primary https://t.co/gynTqaRa3O

The @dccc is running this great pro @votejohngibbs ad.
Poor RINO @VoteMeijer doesn’t make the cut as he isn’t even a threat to the Dems. #MI03 VOTE for John Gibbs on August 2nd! #ampFW https://t.co/7LlJBOTF31
