Lack of transparency is definitely a problem here, but many of the examples are people saying shit they would have said anyway. But THIS example looks like someone changing his tune on Steyer right after Steyer gave him a bunch of money...

Very gross! If you're being paid by a political campaign, I think you should, you know, tell people that. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/us/politics/campaigns-paid-influencers.html?unlocked_article_code=1.9FA.Htmw.qfLGN8j7xt5I&smid=nytcore-ios-share

In February, Mr. Greene said that Mr. Steyer “isn’t the progressive champion you might think” because of his investments in detention facilities.

In May, around the same time that he received $21,500 from Mr. Steyer’s campaign, Mr. Greene shifted his support to Mr. Steyer. He called Mr. Steyer “the most progressive viable candidate in the race,” adding that it was “my opinion.”
