The pop star has likened the controversial sale of her catalogue to financial exploitation.<\/p>\n<p><em>Axios<\/em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/virginia-governor-race-taylor-swift-mcauliffe-youngkin-18abc038-5a82-4e99-92ce-ae5b5f43a4c6.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports<\/a> that the ad campaign &#8220;highlights McAuliffe&#8217;s trademark chutzpah,&#8221; and rightfully so.&nbsp;In addition to being an investor in Carlyle at the time of the sale, McAuliffe and the Democratic Party have extensive ties to the real villains in the controversy: Scooter Braun and George Soros.<\/p>\n<p>Braun, an investor and music executive described by Swift as an &#8220;incessant, manipulative bully,&#8221; acquired the singer&#8217;s catalogue in June 2019 via his firm, Ithaca Holdings. The sale was financed by Carlyle, as well as the Soros family. Months later, Swift <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/taylor-swift-calls-out-george-soros-in-award-speech\/\">lashed out<\/a> at Braun and Soros while accepting an award at Billboard&#8217;s &#8220;Women in Music&#8221; event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun&#8217;s Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I&#8217;m told was funded by the Soros family, 23 Capital, and the Carlyle Group,&#8221; Swift said.&nbsp;&#8220;Yet to this day, none of these investors have bothered to contact me or my team directly to perform their due diligence on their investment, on their investment in me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Both men are major Democratic donors who have contributed to numerous candidates and party committees. Soros, for example, donated $250,000 to McAuliffe&#8217;s campaign in August, several months after the billionaire gave $1 million to a &#8220;racial justice&#8221; PAC that supports <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/soros-gives-mcauliffe-campaign-250k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">defunding the police<\/a>. In 2020, Braun donated $35,500 to the Democratic National Committee, where McAuliffe previously served as chairman. He also donated (via the Biden Victory Fund) more than $4,000 to the Democratic Party of Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>In more ways than one, McAuliffe has directly benefited from the exploitative financial tactics of Swift&#8217;s enemies. A seasoned hypocrite, he&#8217;s now attempting to present himself as her champion. Swift may love the players, but McAuliffe loves the game. It&#8217;s about what you&#8217;d expect from a man who once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/andrewkaczynski\/the-time-terry-mccauliffe-left-the-delivery-for-a-washington\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abandoned<\/a> his pregnant wife in a hospital delivery room to attend a fundraiser hosted by the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics We are never ever getting Mac to level: Democratic mega donors Scooter Braun and George Soros are the real villains  Andrew Stiles \u2022 October 6, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-853569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=853569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=853569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=853569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=853569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
