Good morning! If any person of notoriety publicly asserts that I was paid by Qatar, I will pursue legal action, including claims for defamation. I have never been paid by Qatar, and the allegations referenced in the filing submitted by a disgruntled former employee have already been debunked. Furthermore, I am not a party to any lawsuit, either as a defendant or as a plaintiff. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I’ve been open about my work in this industry. My experience is what makes me uniquely qualified to say it’s gotten out of hand. I’m not against creators getting paid, I just think it’s probably time for political influencers to disclose what opinions they are being paid for. Our discourse would be healthier if those arrangements had to be disclosed. Why are you so opposed to disclosures?

The online influencer ecosystem has drifted far from its roots. What began as largely ideology-driven has become almost entirely financially driven. For most of the past year, I’ve been calling for the FTC to update its guidelines so that paid political content faces the same disclosure requirements as paid promotions of commercial products: clothing, food, cosmetics, or anything else. Right now, if someone is paid to support or oppose a candidate or political issue online, no disclosure is required. It’s time for that to change.

The political “influencer” industry has gotten out of hand. Special interest money has flooded the online ecosystem. It’s why I’ve been working with lawmakers to change disclosure laws and I have also had conversations with folks at the FTC. If you get paid to promote a protein bar you need to say “paid partnership,” if you get paid to attack someone who works for the Trump admin or trash a piece of legislation, no disclosure is needed. Time for that to change!

No I don’t deny that. I’ve paid you for tweets before. I haven’t for at least a year though. I also know you still get paid by others for tweets so I do think it’s fair to refer to you as an “influencer.” What percentage of your tweets are paid for?

You’re not an “influencer?” What are you then? You are definitely comparable to Hasan Piker. You say outrageous things and then the democrats use what you say against republican politicians you’re affiliated with. I think it’s a perfect comparison.

Laura, you are basically the Republican version of Hasan Piker. Democrats over the years have attacked Republicans for affiliating with you. Those weren’t effective hits either. Voters simply don’t care enough about “influencers” or streamers. lol

Republicans: It would be wise not to take messaging advice from Dan Crenshaw. His own “messaging” just got him beaten by double digits in a Republican primary in a deep-red Texas seat. He is politically incompetent and inept.

Socialist candidates are performing well at the moment because many Americans feel deeply discouraged. People who believe they did everything right — got good grades, worked hard, followed the rules — still can’t seem to get ahead. (Socialism would only make their problems worse, yet its promises sound appealing to those in this situation.) President Trump often seems to be the only Republican who recognizes this frustration and speaks directly to these Americans. Republican candidates running against DSA members need a clear message and real solutions for these voters.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Simply dismissing those who are cozying up to socialist candidates as “entitled” or “stupid” will backfire.

In case you’re wondering why @marklevinshow has been having daily meltdowns and smearing the Trump administration, it’s because 67% of the American people disagree with him and support President Trump and @JDVance’s MOU.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Mark, doesn’t seem to handle rejection well. Mark, I don’t know you. But I promise it will all be okay in the end. Just relax, bud.

President Trump did not participate in an Epstein cover-up. That is the most ridiculous accusation ever. Trump arrested Epstein in his first term and released the files in his second, which by the way totally exonerated the President! (PS: Thomas Massie didn’t care about Epstein at all during Biden’s four years but now he pretends to care. He’s a fraud.)

Hello @marklevinshow, an Israeli source confirmed to the @TimesofIsrael that the Israeli Government will be using you and other “right-wing media figures” to try to influence the President’s deal. Can you confirm or deny?
