Sen. Josh Hawley took to “Jesse Watters Primetime” Monday with a battle cry for conservatives. “It’s time to blow the lid off the dark money operation of the left,” he told host Jesse Watters, pointing to a shadowy network funding everything from campus riots to attacks on American institutions. Republicans say this is the reckoning Democrats dread.
Hawley didn’t hold back on the scope. “They’ve been doing this for years,” he said, linking the cash to “terrorism on campuses, the pro-Hamas terrorists,” and even protests targeting Supreme Court justices’ homes. He called it “astroturf, left-funded garbage,” demanding we “find out where all of it is coming from.”
The spark? Protests hammering Elon Musk’s Tesla since Trump’s inauguration. Watters asked Hawley about violence against Musk’s electric vehicle empire—over a dozen destructive acts, per The Washington Post—like gunshots shattering windshields at an Oregon dealership Thursday. Hawley tied it to the same leftist money machine.
Conservatives see a pattern. ActBlue, a major Democrat fundraising platform, has processed cash for pro-Palestinian groups, some praising Hamas’ attacks. Hawley’s call to “follow the money” isn’t just talk—it’s a demand to expose a web that’s fueled chaos since 2020’s social justice marches trashed cities.
Hawley mocked the left’s flip-flop. “Just a year ago they were all driving EVs and touting their moral virtue,” he said, noting Biden’s push for 50 percent EV sales by 2030. “Now they’re burning down the dealerships.” He branded them “weirdos” the American people won’t trust with power.
Tesla’s “Takedown” Saturday showed the intensity. Hundreds rallied nationwide against Musk, who’s slashing waste via Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). An Oregon dealership took gunfire, damaging cars—conservatives say this is what happens when dark money meets desperation.
Republicans aren’t letting this slide. Hawley’s tying the cash to campus riots last year that wrecked universities and pro-Hamas stances that appalled the heartland. “We ought to find out where all of it is coming from,” he insisted—Trump’s 82 percent speech approval last week proves voters want answers too.
The left’s hypocrisy burns bright. They’ve pushed EVs as gospel, yet now torch Tesla for Musk backing Trump. Hawley’s right—follow the money, and you’ll see a machine that’s funded every leftist tantrum from justices’ doorsteps to dealership lots. Conservatives demand names and jail time.
America’s done with shadowy games. Hawley’s sounding the alarm—Democrats’ cash empire isn’t just funding protests; it’s undermining the nation Trump’s rebuilding with tariffs and deportations. Republicans say it’s time to drag this operation into the light and crush it for good.
