Foreign entities shouldn’t be getting involved in American elections.
But Donald Trump just exposed what was really going on behind the scenes.
And now the world is about to find out who has been sticking their nose into the election.
The presidential election in the United States should be for Americans to vote in and for Americans to influence, not any foreign entity.
Of course, the United States gets involved in other countries’ elections all the time, so perhaps it is only fair that they would stick their noses into ours.
But as a general principle, countries should be able to elect their own leaders without undue influence from people in other countries who don’t have to live under those leaders.
One foreign entity, however, has apparently been sticking its nose into the United States presidential election to try and help Kamala Harris win.
According to Donald Trump, the U.K. Labour Party, which is the left-wing party in their country, has been providing support to Kamala Harris.
They have been helping her out in swing states in an attempt to push her over the finish line and into the White House.
According to Breitbart, “Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the UK’s left-wing Labour Party, accusing it of ‘blatant foreign interference’ in the U.S. election by sending staffers to campaign for Kamala Harris in swing states.
“The complaint, as seen and reported on by the BBC, cites media reports about contact between Labour and the Harris campaign as well as apparent volunteering efforts, arguing this amounts to illegal ‘contributions.’”
If more Americans knew about this it surely would not sit well with them, as the U.K. Labour Party is not supposed to have a say in our election.
Their members do not live here and they do not have a stake in the success of our nation, so they should not be getting directly involved.
The article continues, “Specifically, the complaint cites newspaper reporting that Labour-linked individuals have travelled to the U.S. to campaign for the vice president.”
“As Breitbart News reported, around 100 British left-wing activists are being funded to campaign for Harris in swing states.
“A social media post by the Director of Operations of the UK’s governing party, Labour, recruiting ‘Labour Party staff’ for campaigning in North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia has caused concern.
“The message from Labour’s Sofia Patel promised paid-for accommodation for those taking up the offer.”
The Labour Party has no business trying to do something like this, and it is a good thing that their efforts are being challenged with the FEC.
If they are allowed to continue with their efforts, it will set a bad precedent going forward where anyone in a foreign country who has a preference in our election can stick their nose in.
That is not how things are supposed to be, and the FEC may have to step in and do something about it to prevent their efforts from continuing.
