Leftist Group Fueling Democrat Senate Campaigns Attacks Barrett Kids

The leftist PAC NextGen America’s Managing Director, John Lee Brougher, is behind attacks on Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s adopted children, roping several Democrat U.S.

Senators and Senate candidates into the smears on her family.

This weekend, as Breitbart News reported, before President Donald Trump even formally nominated Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left behind by the passing of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Brougher leveled vicious personal smears against her, questioning the legitimacy of the adoptions she and her husband made of two children from Haiti.

While Houle is a high-level Democrat operative, Brougher is even more deeply connected, and the organization for which he works—NextGen America—is a critical group that could make the difference for Democrats in a number of a key Senate races this year and could have made the difference for Democrats in battleground races in previous years.

NextGen America did not reply to a press request from Breitbart News about Brougher’s comments about Barrett’s family, his hiding of his Twitter account, and whether the Democrat senators and candidates the group supports are in on it with Brougher in attacking Barrett’s adopted children.

Democrat Senators who have had expenditures either on their behalf or against their opponent or both by NextGen America include Sens.

NextGen America is also financially backing key Democrat candidates for U.S.

Before Brougher worked for Steyer’s group, he was the Chief Technology Officer for Texas Democrat Wendy Davis’s failed gubernatorial campaign.

Cotton of Arkansas told Breitbart News that these Democrat Senators and Senate candidates whom NextGen America has backed cannot be silent while taking money from a group engaged in such “vile” behavior.

Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), who also, like Barrett, has adopted two children from Haiti and now is a senior adviser to Catholic Vote and Catholics for Trump, told Breitbart News in a SiriusXM channel 125 radio special after the president announced her as his selection that he was disgusted by the attacks.

“These are high-ranking Democrat Party officials who are going after her adopted children and suggesting they were somehow illegitimately taken from Haiti and somehow because she has a transracial family somehow they don’t like that.

On one hand, you’ve got the burn-it-down caucus of the entire Democrat Party and on the other hand you’ve got Amy Coney Barrett, who represents the best of America.

She’s a great pick because she’s the right person for the job, but this is going to expose again how radical and extreme the Democrat Party has become and Joe Biden, whether he’s with it or not it’s his party, and they’re going to destroy the fundamental heart of America.

“Now he’s shoveling all this money to these candidates, and they all—all—should have to respond to the fact they’re attacking this woman for being a strong woman of faith as well as for having adopted kids and has a special needs child.”.

In 2014, the group spent more than $74 million in helping bolster Democrat candidates and causes up and down the ballot.

Likewise in 2018, the group was a major factor in underwriting Democrat Senate candidates.

Rosen wasn’t the only Democrat that NextGen helped elevate to the Senate in 2018, however.

The group is spending heavily to back a series of Democrat challengers to vulnerable Senate GOP incumbents
