CNN commentator Van Jones announced that "now it can be told," revealing that Democrats pulled one over on Americans and fooled voters into believing there was an affordability crisis.
"How did we win the narrative on affordability? The Republicans never figured out what we were doing. Tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online," Jones said.
Tens of thousands of human online trolls, he explained, hit up more than 32 million people a day on Instagram, almost 89 million a day on Twitter and around 185 million people on Facebook every single day, whispering in their ears that affordability was an issue.
"The most effective online organizing campaign driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative," Jones said.
Conservative commentator Gentry Gevers posted on X about the supposed trickery and how crude oil prices dropped the day after Democrats won Congress.
"They (Democrats) did not win on policy. They won on volume. They manufactured a crisis, pointed it at your gas tank, and flooded every feed in America until it worked. And Jones said the network is not going away," Gevers wrote.
Abraham Hamilton III even spoke on his American Family Radio (AFR) program about Jones' revelation of the American Accountability Network.
"I did a little digging on them… The website was created in 2025… It was created for one purpose and one purpose only. To counter the dominance of conservatives in the social media, in the podcast digital space. That's the whole purpose," Hamilton said.
Gary Bauer, president of American Values, says the op was a major part of the rout that may have put the GOP in a hole for a generation to come.
"There was a complete change in the electorate. Christian evangelicals inexplicably voted at some of the lowest percentages in years," Bauer states.
Couple the op with a rising generation that has been indoctrinated to believe capitalism is the problem and socialism is the answer that turned out in huge numbers, and that is the 2026 midterms in a nutshell.
"We've got to get our act together fast. We've got some people that should be able to help us on this, like Elon Musk. We've got to come up with our own operation," Bauer states.
