The Radical Left is corrupt. But even so, the American people are shocked by just how corrupt they are.
But now a Republican AG has delivered a stunning blow to a corrupt Democrat fraud scheme.
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has launched an investigation into allegations that the Democrat donation platform ActBlue has facilitated thousands of donations using stolen identities and names. This move follows a massive discovery by Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), who highlighted a suspicious donation pattern involving a 79-year-old Virginia resident.
It's trivially easy to find massive, repeated donations to ActBlue that use stolen identities and, quite possibly, stolen credit cards.

The controversy began when Kirk flagged a donation anomaly in Virginia, where a 79-year-old resident named Kerry Alberti, living in an apartment costing $2,000 per month, was reported to have made 22,619 separate donations since 2019, totaling over $800,000.
Kirk’s statement emphasized the ease of finding “massive, repeated donations to ActBlue that use stolen identities and, quite possibly, stolen credit cards.”
In response, AG Miyares assured the public that his office is actively investigating these allegations. “My office is aware of these allegations and rest assured, we are looking into it,” Miyares stated, signaling a significant step towards addressing potential fraud within the platform.
Charlie Kirk’s concerns were further amplified by NOVA Campaigns, which highlighted the suspicious activity surrounding Kerry Alberti’s donations. The account condemned the actions as “Utter fraud (ID theft) via ActBlue,” raising alarm over the platform’s integrity.
ActBlue has long marketed itself as the go-to platform for “small-dollar donors” supporting Democratic candidates, committees, and progressive organizations.
However, these recent allegations cast a shadow over the platform’s operations, suggesting that it may be involved in a money-laundering scheme exploiting vulnerable individuals.
This isn’t the first time ActBlue has come under scrutiny. O’Keefe Media Group has previously conducted investigations into the platform, revealing that people on fixed incomes had their names attached to thousands of donations amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.
These findings suggest a pattern of exploitation and raise serious questions about ActBlue’s fundraising practices.
This scandal reflects poorly on the Biden administration, which has consistently benefited from ActBlue’s fundraising prowess. Critics argue that the administration’s lack of oversight and accountability has allowed such fraudulent activities to flourish.
The Biden-Harris administration, already under fire for its handling of various issues, including the border crisis and inflation, now faces additional criticism for its potential indirect involvement in facilitating donation fraud.
The allegations against ActBlue also highlight broader concerns about the integrity of Democratic fundraising efforts. If true, these practices could undermine public trust in the political process and further polarize an already divided electorate.
Republicans have been quick to seize on the scandal, calling for thorough investigations and greater transparency in political fundraising. Charlie Kirk’s call for action resonated with many, as he pointed out the need for state attorneys general across the country to investigate similar anomalies in their jurisdictions.
“For example, one person in Virginia has been named in 22,619 separate donations since 2019, totaling more than $800,000. Obviously, she’s being exploited for some kind of money-laundering operation. ActBlue raises from all fifty states. We have fifty state AGs. When will one of them take action?” Kirk questioned, urging broader scrutiny of ActBlue’s activities.
As AG Miyares’ investigation unfolds, it will be crucial to uncover the extent of fraudulent activities within ActBlue and hold those responsible accountable. This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in political fundraising, particularly as the 2024 election cycle approaches.
The Biden administration’s response to these allegations will also be closely watched. Any perceived inaction or dismissiveness could further damage the administration’s credibility and deepen public distrust.
As AG Miyares delves deeper into the investigation, the findings could have far-reaching implications for political fundraising and campaign finance laws in the United States.
