Unfortunately, the leaders of one of these organizations have been exposed for knowingly lying that a Republican presidential candidate caused a woman to die of cancer and committed a federal felony, among other falsehoods. The outrageous nature of the people supposedly fighting conservative \u201cdisinformation\u201d can be driven home by examining the leaders of just one of these groups, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/organization\/building-back-together\/\">Building Back Together<\/a>, an independent organization that reportedly coordinates closely with the Biden White House.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert Bauer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Robert Bauer, who leads BBT\u2019s voting rights unit, has close ties to Joe Biden. The president so trusts Bauer\u2019s judgement that he named him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/biden-creates-commission-to-study-packing-the-supreme-court\">co-chair<\/a> of his commission to consider packing the Supreme Court. Bauer\u2019s wife, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/williams-fascism-and-communism-walter-e-williams\">Anita Dunn<\/a>, also serves as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-adviser-biden-has-not-committed-to-reopening-schools-in-fall-because-pandemic-unpredictable\">senior adviser<\/a> to Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Bob Bauer was at the heart of perhaps the biggest disinformation campaign of recent years: The Steele Dossier.<\/p>\n<p>In 1980, Bauer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/for-profit\/perkins-coie\/\">founded<\/a> the D.C.-based law firm Perkins Coie. He left his firm in the hands of Marc Elias in order to serve a stint in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011, but Bauer returned until his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perkinscoie.com\/en\/news-insights\/bob-bauer-leaving-perkins-coie-after-more-than-35-years.html\">retirement<\/a> from PC in 2018. Starting in April 2016, Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/christopher-steele-who-created-dossier-claiming-ashe-schow\">and<\/a> the Democratic National Committee used Perkins Coie to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-obama-paid-nearly-1-million-law-firm-hired-ryan-saavedra\">funnel campaign funds<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/therightswriter.com\/2015\/08\/planned-parenthood-hires-fmr-lobbyist-for-sheikh-who-burned-american-flag-during-wartime\/\">Fusion GPS<\/a>, which in turn hired British intelligence agent Christopher Steele to produce his salacious \u201cdossier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the most lurid fabrications of his report, which BuzzFeed published in January 2017, is the claim that Donald Trump hired Russian prostitutes to urinate on a bed that Barack Obama once slept in. CNN alone made reference to the \u201cgolden showers\u201d story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-just-cant-get-enough-trump-pee-tapes-story-joseph-curl\">77 times<\/a> in four days. More importantly, the fraudulent document\u2019s erroneous allegations that Donald Trump\u2019s campaign colluded with Russia effectively paralyzed the president for the first two years of his term. \u201cFor years, the public was fed a healthy diet of leaks, innuendo, and false information to imply that President Trump and his campaign were part of a Russian conspiracy to spread disinformation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bombshell-fbi-allegedly-had-evidence-that-anti-trump-dossier-contained-russian-intel-disinformation-declassified-footnotes-show\">said<\/a> Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) in a joint statement last year.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in 2019, Robert Mueller\u2019s report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/walsh-one-crucial-line-mueller-report-media-taking-matt-walsh\">dispelled<\/a> the notion that the Trump presidential campaign, much less the president personally, had any illegal contact with the Kremlin \u2014 as alleged by the document Bauer\u2019s law firm helped bankroll.<\/p>\n<p>Bauer is not the only person involved in Biden\u2019s truth campaign who has a deep history of lying to the American people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephanie Cutter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BBT <a href=\"https:\/\/buildingbacktogether.org\/team\/\">advisor<\/a> Stephanie Cutter, who was Barack Obama\u2019s deputy campaign manager in 2012, &nbsp;accused then-candidate Mitt Romney of being a killer and a felon. Cutter publicly blamed Romney for the death of a cancer-stricken woman whose husband, Joe Soptic, lost his job when his steel plant was closed down by Romney\u2019s firm, Bain Capital. It later came to light that the woman had her own health insurance, and died seven years <em>after<\/em> Romney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/obama-campaign-aide-accused-of-lying-over-anti-romney-ad-ties-to-steelworker\">left<\/a> the firm. Confronted with the facts, Cutter then <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2012\/08\/20\/watch-stephanie-cutter-lie-about-joe-soptic-on-national-tv\/\">lied<\/a> to Jake Tapper about her knowledge of the case.<\/p>\n<p>She and Bauer then suggested that Romney may have broken federal law by lying about when he left Bain Capital. Cutter <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2012\/07\/12\/obamas-aides-slam-romney-as-possible-felon\/\">said<\/a> either Romney \u201cwas misrepresenting his position at Bain to the [Securities and Exchange Commission], which would be a felony\u2026 [or] he was lying to the American people.\u201d The claim that Romney stayed at the helm of Bain Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/article\/2012\/jul\/17\/fact-checking-attacks-about-bain-romney\/\">after 1999<\/a> had been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.factcheck.org\/2012\/01\/facts-strained-in-king-of-bain\/\">fact-checked<\/a> and dismissed numerous times. The Washington Post\u2019s Glenn Kessler gave the claim \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/fact-checker\/post\/mitt-romney-and-bain-a-fact-checker-collection\/2012\/07\/19\/gJQAsihcwW_blog.html\">4 Pinocchios<\/a>.\u201d When pressed for proof that Romney may be a criminal, Bauer told the media to \u201cstay very much tuned on that.\u201d When Bauer failed to make good on his promise and that charge also evaporated, Cutter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/obama-and-campaign-offer-no-apology-to-romney\">told<\/a> \u201cFace the Nation\u201d that Romney is \u201cnot getting an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cutter also has a way of explaining away Joe Biden\u2019s foibles and fulminations. When then-Vice President Biden told a black audience that Republicans are \u201cgonna put y\u2019all back in chains,\u201d Cutter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/blogs\/politico-now\/2012\/08\/cutter-biden-chains-charge-a-distraction-132482\">told<\/a> CNN that Biden only meant the phrase figuratively, in the same sense that John Boehner and \u201cPaul Ryan have been traveling this country talking about the need to unshackle the private sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cutter told MSNBC that Barack Obama created \u201cmore jobs than in the \u2026 Reagan recovery.\u201d In reality, Obama, whose recovery from the Great Recession was the <a href=\"https:\/\/stream.org\/analysts-obamas-economic-legacy-historically-bad\/\">slowest of the postwar era<\/a>, created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aei.org\/pethokoukis\/sorry-stephanie-cutter-the-obama-recovery-hasnt-created-more-jobs-than-the-reagan-recovery\/\">less than a third<\/a> as many jobs as Reagan.<\/p>\n<p>BBT is pressuring Facebook to crack down on posts that it considers \u201cmisinformation\u201d or \u201cdisinformation.\u201d The best that can be said of political hacks like Bauer and Cutter is that they should certainly know a lie when they see one.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
