Linda McMahon’s America First Policies organization is being criticized in the media for its ties to the Capitol Hill riot last week. America First Policies is what some call a “Dark Money Group”. This means they do not have to disclose their donors or other financial information.
A recent article by CNBC’s Brian Schwartz, however, has uncovered ties between the McMahon-run organization and the organizers of last week’s events at the Capitol building.
“America First Policies, which is also a 501(c)(4) that does not disclose its donors, is chaired by Linda McMahon, a longtime Trump ally and former head of the Small Business Administration. The 2019 filing shows America First Policies ended up raising over $30 million,” Schwartz wrote.
“Previous donors to Women for America First include America First Policies, a nonprofit chaired by Linda McMahon,” Schwartz also said.
.@schwartzbCNBC has done some great reporting on pro-Trump dark money groups that funded the president's "stop the steal" rally preceding the riot including "America First" groups linked to Linda McMahon. Rioters displayed their signs in the Capitol windows after they broke in

America First Priorities are not required to disclose donation information. They did publicize in 2019, however, that they donated $25,000 to “Women for America First”. Schwartz notes this organization was largely responsible for organizing the events on Capitol Hill last week.
Vote challenges, law suits, recounts- all necessary to ensure our election integrity@realDonaldTrump@vp.

“The rally, officially known as the ‘March to Save America,’ was largely organized by a 501(c)(4) group known as Women for America First,” he wrote.
The Women for America First website now points to a statement on the violence last week.
“We unequivocally denounce violence of any type and under any circumstances.”
“Unfortunately, for months the left and the mainstream media told the American people that violence was an acceptable political tool. They were wrong. It is not.”
Stand with the Pres @realDonaldTrump for a fair count of legal votes. Ignoring court orders and breaking state laws is the opposite. We must continue the challenge!!@VP; @AmericaFirstPAC

Meanwhile, America First Priorities has not released a statement.
The President is so right @realDonaldTrump We must work diligently to ensure that all voting processes across the country are transparent and legal. Voters must feel confident that their votes will always be counted. State laws by legislatures, not courts govern the process.
