Trump has promised a \u2018bloodbath\u2019 if he loses, vowed to pardon violent insurrectionists, and continues to spew baseless lies about his crushing defeat by over 7 million votes in the 2020 election. His horrifying anti-democracy agenda may be popular with the ultra-rich (and out-of-touch) election deniers bankrolling his campaign, but&nbsp; will make him a loser with voters once again come November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RNC megadonor Richard Uihlein contributed millions of dollars to groups that worked to overturn the 2020 election and were involved in January 6 planning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/new-filings-reveal-another-billionaire-dick-uihlein-behind-the-big-lie\">Daily Beast<\/a>: <strong>\u201cUihlein\u2019s nonprofit\u2014the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation\u2014poured millions of dollars in 2020 into a sprawling number of groups connected to efforts to challenge Joe Biden\u2019s victory<\/strong> and reimagine election law, as well as other right-wing extremist organizations, including ones designated as hate groups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAccording to the foundation\u2019s latest tax filing, <strong>the supply chain mogul contributed more than $4 million to groups affiliated with efforts to overturn the election and other acts of far-right extremism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cUihlien\u2014whose net worth Bloomberg pegs at about $4 billion\u2014also funded right-wing media outlets that pushed false narratives about the 2020 election. <\/strong>For instance, he donated $750,000 to the FDRLST, which pushed misleading claims of voter fraud. He also slipped $25,000 to the American Conservative, which published a number of articles claiming that Democrats had stolen the election, including a debunked article the evening of Jan. 6 alleging widespread fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cSome Uihlein money made it to groups directly involved with events on Jan. 6. <\/strong>For example, he boosted Turning Point USA, the far-right youth organization helmed by social media personality Charlie Kirk. After Trump\u2019s defeat, TPUSA pushed the Big Lie and backed the \u2018Stop the Steal\u2019 movement, and later helped organize Jan. 6 rally events, including providing transportation for attendees from across the country. Uihlein contributed $30,000 to the group. Uihlein also provided a pillar of financial support for the Tea Party Patriots, a far-right activist group which helped organize rally events on Jan. 6.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pete Ricketts supported a lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election results and criticized the January 6 hearings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journalstar.com\/news\/state-and-regional\/govt-and-politics\/ricketts-supported-gop-challenge-of-presidential-election-results-swatted-by-supreme-court\/article_84d6bfd3-4417-5626-a0b9-c78233c9e3f9.html\">Journal Star<\/a>: \u201cAlthough Gov.

The following year, they gave $8.1 million to DonorsTrust, which recently donated $1.5 million to white nationalist hate group VDARE, which has also advanced evidence-free theories surrounding the 2020 election results. <\/strong>In 2017, the Mercer Family Foundation donated $1.725 million to the Government Accountability Institute, whose research director, Eric Eggers, appeared on Sean Hannity\u2019s radio show at the end of November, suggesting that fraudulent activity had tilted the election to Joe Biden. In 2018, they followed up with an additional $500,000. Rep.
