U.S.A.! U.S.A.! vol. 263

The effort—titled "STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PLAN - GIULIANI PRESIDENTIAL LEGAL DEFENSE TEAM"—was revealed in a submission to the Jan. 6 select committee by former New York City police commissioner and close Trump ally Bernie Kerik.

The plan was to create a 10-day media blitz, beginning on Dec. 27 and ending on Jan. 6, to urge Republican lawmakers to vote against certifying the results of the 2020 election.

The plan called for prewritten tweets to be disseminated to right-wing influencers repeating a range of the most popular election fraud conspiracies, including ones about mail-in ballots, faulty Dominion voting machines, dead people voting, and suitcases full of ballots being brought into processing centers.

The plan categorizes the conservative influencers into four categories: big, medium, small and micro. Among the “big” names listed in the document are Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Mark Levin, and Candace Owens.

Listed among the “medium” names is Watkins, who is currently running for Congress in Arizona. He is referred to simply as “Ron,” alongside the fact that at the time he had almost 500,000 Twitter followers.

So by the time Giuliani and his team came to draw up a list of names of those best placed to sow anger and distrust on social media, Watkins’ name was sure to be included.
