Alan Jacoby gave the next assertion to The Gateway Pundit, additional exposing the lies from Craig Riedel:
Craig Riedel has been soliciting me for a marketing campaign donation since mid-June. All calls and textual content messages had been initiated by him. I by no means dialed his quantity.I suspected he was a by no means Trumper and wished to check him as I’m decided to weed out the anti-MAGA candidates and by no means Trumpers who’re deceiving donors daily. If Riedel had carried out some due diligence and regarded me up, he would have seen that I’m a real Trump loyalist and bleed MAGA.
After Riedel was uncovered, disavowing President Trump on a recorded name calling the forty fifth president smug and confirming he didn’t need the president’s endorsement, he panicked and put out a press release endorsing Trump after telling me he was leaning in help of Ron DeSantis. In that assertion, he attacked Congressman Matt Gaetz and referred to as me a social media trickster. Lie after lie, flip after flop, Craig Riedel has been uncovered because the anti-MAGA By no means Trumper he actually is. Matt Gaetz nor JR Majewski had any data that this name came about. Riedel’s assault on Gaetz simply proves extra so that he’s actually anti-MAGA.
Craig Reidel is both determined for donations to say no matter a donor desires to listen to or too dumb to not vet his potential donors he engages in dialog with over the cellphone.
I by no means referred to as Craig Riedel, which proves once more that he’s a liar based on his marketing campaign assertion.
Jacoby overtly helps Trump on social media and his podcast exhibits. On his X page, Jacoby dons a MAGA hat in his profile photograph and canopy photograph. This doesn’t seem like some elaborate scheme to get Riedel to point out his true colours.
He additionally didn’t name Riedel, as Riedel claims. Jacoby posted the receipts on X, displaying that Riedel has been calling and texting him for MONTHS asking for cash.
