(Montana – MFP) Reporting from Politico and Montana Free Press say that an Internet misinformation watchdog has indicated that a “secret group” recruited pro-trump Libertarian Dennis Hayes to run in the US Senate election.
The Patriots Run Project, a furtive recruiter of hardcore conservative third-party candidates, indicated it would help if Hayes were willing to run including paying his filing fee.
The nonprofit Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which watchdogs internet disinformation, reported June 13th that the Patriots Run Project was running a network of groups, websites and Facebook pages that skirted the social media site’s ad transparency policies. Politico first broke the story.
