Tom Steyer will buy an influencer, buy an ad, buy whatever it he can — and then dress it up like a movement. This house of cards scheme might be illegal. It’s definitely an insult to our intelligence.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Amid a competitive race, California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer has paid thousands of dollars to influencers who have championed his progressive policies and financial bona fides, campaign finance records show. wapo.st/3PsdveG

.@TomSteyer offered money for endorsements when he ran for president. Will be interesting to see the full accounting of what was paid for this round….
Vote@letat_lechat

Remember, this isn’t the first time Steyer tried to buy influence. He used this unethical billionaire tactic to try to buy his way into the White House. He failed, so he’s trying to buy California’s governor race. Repeat performance of #SteyerTheLiar. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…

Paid influence is increasingly rampant. I found out that: Tom Steyer paid TikTok star Carlos Espina $100K to endorse his campaign Jessica Reed Kraus was paid to attack an NYT reporter on X Dom Lucre was paid as much as $15K to support Trump's BBB nytimes.com/2026/05/16/bus…

TikTok influencer Jason Chu was paid $2,000 for a video about Steyer. He didn't disclose the payment. Two California based creators, Beatrice Gomberg and Kaitlyn Hennessy, said in an interview that Steyer’s strategy seemed designed to mislead voters into believing that the influencers were driven purely by their support of his candidacy and beliefs.

Tom Steyer is selling himself as a grassroots anti-billionaire, but his campaign history says otherwise. - Undisclosed paid influencers. - An aide accused of offering money for endorsements. - Another aide accessed Kamala Harris campaign data without authorization. - A Steyer-funded PAC fined for disclosure violations. To a billionaire, the fines are couch-cushion money. That’s not "people powered". That’s billionaire funded astroturf that thinks the rules don't apply to them.

You know that because of disclosure laws. What you don’t know is how the $100M Steyer made in coal mines was spent on misinformation. Now bill him for your $10 and go back to your bot farm
Metawoofer@metawoofer

@madrid_mike PG&E spent $10 million to run ads against Tom Steyer. Keep the same energy.

Tom Steyer paid an Influencer $100,000 to say one nice thing about him, according to this New York Times article. The natural question: so is any of it real, or is all of it paid for with his $193 million in the CA race? nytimes.com/2026/05/16/bus…

This is incredibly damaging to democratic institutions. The Steyer campaign pays influencers who don’t disclose that they’re being paid - by design. latimes.com/politics/story…

The most innovative campaign? That’s what you call $200M in spending for ~12% of the vote?
CBS News@CBSNews

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) says California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer has "run the most innovative campaign," and will have Khanna's endorsement in the November election. "He said, 'I'm a billionaire, but I'm willing to pay more taxes so that Californians don't lose healthcare.' He's willing to look at single-payer, especially when we have an AI world, and people are fearing job loss," Khanna says. "You should have healthcare not tied to your job. And he has a bold record on climate."

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that a Tom Steyer campaign staffer is the one that leaked the video of Katie Porter screaming at a staffer. Steyer spokesperson, Kevin Liao was an employee of the Department of Energy in charge of filming, editing, and posting the recorded segment. I hope you’re sitting down, but Katie Porter claims she is now the victim and is looking for an ethics investigation…

NY Times now reporting that @TomSteyer paid $100k for this latino influencer. At some point we need to question whether any of his support is real. It certainly explains why even as his mentions explode on twitter, his polling is stalled out. nytimes.com/2026/05/16/bus…

Guys it’s really hard to believe that you’re not paid when you’re reading from the same script.

I find the idea that a rich guy spending lavishly in pursuit of personal power is inherently more ethical than normal politics to be disturbing.
