Hey Democrats, sending 20 unsolicited texts begging for money for whoever the fuck is running against I don’t give a fuck who, in a district I’ve never heard of is not the smartest marketing plan. It is however an excellent way to piss people off and make them never want to donate to anyone again.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
