Whistleblower Is Exposing How Kamala Is Paying Social Media Influencers To Astroturf Her Campaign

Posted • August 7, 2024: A whistleblower comes forward exposing the Harris campaign of an alleged astroturfing campaign where they are paying social media influencers for support. According to Arizona state senator Jake Hoffman, an Instagram influencer has come forward with an email offering the creator money for creating pro-Harris content. "An Instagram whistleblower with nearly 150k followers contacted me with screenshots exposing a sophisticated Astroturfing effort underway by the Harris-Walz campaign," says Jake Hoffman. The email told the influencer that the campaign would be a "paid partnership."

The woman who sent the message was named 'Alicia Howard' which lines up with an Alicia Howard on LinkedIn who works as a project manager for impact dot com. Impact connects businesses with "affiliates, influencers, and commerce content publishers." The videos below are TikTok creators voicing their support for Harris/Walz. It's unclear if or how much they are getting paid.
