No Labels, the supposed “centrist,” anti-Trump political group, showed a glimpse of its true colors a few weeks ago when they indicated that they’d really like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to get the Republican nomination for president. If it were DeSantis, they suggested, they’d reconsider running a third-party candidate. It seems he’s their fascist of choice, and possibly not by chance.
It turns out the group hired the same Colorado signature collecting firm, Blitz Canvassing, as DeSantis in its bid to qualify to field a candidate on the Colorado ballot in 2024. Mother Jones’ David Corn first reported the tie; Politico and the Colorado Times Reporter followed up, reporting that No Labels is using Colorado Republicans’ “favorite canvassing firm.” The company is “owned by former GOP state senator turned longtime GOP operative Josh Penry, [and] has handled field operations for nearly every major Republican candidate in Colorado for the past decade.”
