I’ll tell you about Frank Luntz. He’s a dunce as far as I’m concerned. I mean this guy is a major loser [and] a total lightweight. If I would’ve hired his firm it would’ve been a much different thing. This focus stuff, you know, I’m not a believer. Maybe he just grabbed some people and said ‘Let’s do a number on Trump. You do this. You do that. Maybe he didn’t. I don’t know! I don’t really care. The guy’s a total dope. He was up in my office begging me to hire him, I mean the guy literally wouldn’t stop. He kept calling. Finally, I agree to see him, and then all of a sudden I see all these focus groups and they’re always negative. You know, I’m not a negative person. I mean, how could it be so negative when I’m winning in all the polls? I’m winning in all the states. I’m winning everywhere! I think he’s got his own agenda but you know what? The last thing I need is to put focus groups in my company. By the time you put the focus group together, the deal is gone.

                                                                        – President Donald J. Trump, 2015

Much of Trump’s initial appeal came from his uncanny ability to say irrefutable truths that instantaneously destroyed b******t narratives created by the corporate press out loud, Bulworth-style. One of the finest examples of this came when he called out GOP pollster Frank Luntz as a total hack and phony in August 2015 (to a then relatively calm Don Lemon, no less). In the six years since, Trump has been vindicated on countless occasions. The most significant vindication came when Tucker Carlson explained “Why Republicans No Longer Recognize Their Own Party” on May 1, 2021 (as Populist, America First WA Congressional candidate Joe “Based Captain America” Kent has correctly asserted, “The GOP leadership has no respect for their base, they just want your money so they can win elections & capitulate once they are in power.”):

There are a lot of nice people in the Republican Party, but the point of a political party is not to be nice, it is to represent the interests of its voters. That’s the only reason political parties exist. There is no other reason to have them except to represent their voters. Yet year after year, on issue after issue, the leadership of the Republican Party fails to do that. We’re not guessing about this. We know what Republican voters care about. They tell pollsters all the time. Since they kept getting ignored, in 2016 they elected Donald Trump, just to make it incredibly clear what they cared about. If that wasn’t a wake-up call, nothing would be. However, it remains true that the priorities of the people who run the Republican Party are very different — in some cases, completely different — from the priorities of the people who vote Republican. Why is that? Well, there are lots of reasons, probably, but Frank Luntz is definitely one of them.

Tucker then elaborated on how Frank Luntz (a total dork with less than zero business advising the GOP, largely because of his relationship with Kevin McCarthy, another professional garbage bag that just funded 5 out of the 10 house impeachment voters), is the embodiment of the GOP’s intentional disconnect from its base, which it so clearly hates, loathes, and despises.

If [everything Luntz says] sounds a lot like something a corporate HR executive might say, you shouldn’t be surprised. Luntz’s main business is not helping the Republican Party. His main business is working for left-wing companies that despise the Republican Party [and] are horrified by Republican voters and all they believe. Luntz’s long list of corporate clients includes Jeff Bezos’ Amazon, Facebook, Nike, Coca-Cola, Disney, Delta Air Lines and the Chamber of Commerce. These are the people who pay Frank Luntz’s bills. In his spare time, Frank Luntz tells Kevin McCarthy how to run the Republican Party. You can see the conflict there.

And, yet, this is the career criminal that Republican “leaders” still go to for “messaging guidance” on hot topics. Quite frankly, it’s a national disgrace. Unfortunately, however, the funny business with Luntz never ends. In a new piece for his substack, titled “The Manipulators: Frank Luntz & Far-Left Group Wage Disinformation Campaign for COVID Tyranny”, Jordan Schachtel writes:

For almost two years, Luntz and the Big Pharma-tied de Beaumont Foundation have been advocating for a variety of forms of rights restricting COVID-related mandates through suspect ‘polling’ and ‘studies’ funded by the non-profit … When the lockdowns and other restrictions failed to contain a virus, Luntz and his fellow travelers claimed that we didn’t lock down hard enough, seemingly arguing that a Police State akin to Australia’s COVID response would have done the job more appropriately. After explaining away the failures of lockdowns, they then washed their hands of the unpopular agenda item and moved on to the next issue.

Where does the money for Luntz’s bogus work come from? Largely from the de Beaumont Foundation, of course, a non-profit (shorthand for Democrat Party fundraising operation) that has received millions of dollars from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, an investment fund that maintains a portfolio that holds 95.5% of its assets in Johnson & Johnson stock (this amounts to over $2 billion in case you were wondering).
