## Resource

Ken Harbaugh sits down with Army combat veteran Kris Goldsmith, founder of Veterans Fighting Fascism, to unpack how Republican-funded dark money groups like "Real Change" and "Lead Left" infiltrated Democratic primaries this week in an attempt to take out veteran candidates. The two break down the staggering scale of the spending, the deceptive PAC names, and why attacking vets' patriotism crossed a line.
