Disgusting and so emblematic of how brain dead the lefts followers are.

Washington Post article hyping anti-DOGE protesters in deep red state omits crucial details

An article on the Washington Post's newspaper cover highlighting DOGE opposition from Republican and Independent protesters at an event in Alabama failed to point out that several protesters featured in the story were Democrat donors who have espoused left-wing and anti-Trump views on social media.

"Constituents hunt for answers from GOP congressman," a Washington Post headline last week, which also ran online with the headline, "Republicans, independents crave answers from GOP congressman in Alabama," read along with a story explaining how protesters are upset with GOP Rep. Dale Strong about DOGE.

Despite framing the story as amplifying criticism from Republicans and Independents, every protester quoted in the story with a first and last name has donated to Democrats, which the article does not point out. Additionally, the article omits that several Democrat donors were included in the article's pictures.

Melanie Kolowski, the main protester cited in the story, is described by the Washington Post as "politically independent" and someone who is a "Second Amendment fan" and "proud owner of a Glock 47."

However, a Fox News Digital review of election records shows that she is a registered Democrat in Alabama who has only donated to ActBlue, earmarking donations to Sen. Mitch McConnell's failed Democrat opponent Amy McGrath and the failed Senate campaign of former DNC chair Jaime Harrison.

Kolowski's Facebook account includes posts blasting Musk, accusing Justice Clarence Thomas of wanting to take America back to the time of segregation, and promoting abortion, gay marriage, and DEI.

In another post from last month, she shared a post from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, hyping a rally he and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., hosted together in Denver. The post included a fire emoji and emoji showing heart eyes. 

The piece also quotes Michael Bonaker, who the author describes as a "registered Republican."

Bonaker is indeed a registered Republican, but FEC records show that he has only donated to Democrats, and he has posted on the social media platform BlueSky that "if you support MAGA and ’47, you are a racist."

"First, a space x starship disintegrates before our eyes! Second, Waiting for Elon's brain to explode like Samuel L Jackson's character did in Kingman," Bonaker wrote in a BlueSky post.
