🚨Meet Lyndsey Fifield — the far-right operative now accusing Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner of physical “intimidation.”
Fifield’s resumé reads like a who’s who of the conservative right: the Heritage Foundation, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Action Network, Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign, and “Independent Women” — a group that’s openly supportive of Republican Senator Susan Collins, the very person Platner is running to unseat.
But here’s where it gets rich.
In 2019, Fifield wrote a glowing tribute to Brett Kavanaugh, describing Christine Blasey Ford’s r*pe allegations against him as a “desperate smear campaign” meant to stop his confirmation. She called it “ruthless” and “devastating” — to Kavanaugh.
Fast forward to 2024, and Fifield is now coming forward with her own allegations against a Democrat.
Republicans and their corporate media allies didn’t hesitate to quickly pump-out a series of uncritical articles following the report — wish-casting a “crisis” for Graham Platner (he’s still leading in the polls, by the way).
The same woman who told the world that Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser was running a smear campaign now expects Americans to take her word on faith.
This isn’t the first time a conservative operative has led the charge to take down a Democratic politician with unverified allegations. When Al Franken was accused of sexual misconduct in 2017, his principal accuser was Leeann Tweeden — a conservative talk radio host and vocal Trump supporter. Franken resigned within three weeks, without ever receiving the Ethics Committee investigation he requested. A subsequent New Yorker investigation by Jane Mayer found Tweeden’s story had significant holes and had never been subjected to serious fact-checking. Sound familiar?
