Agenda Project Video, Republican Budget Cuts Allegations
The Agenda Project, founded by former DNC strategist Erica Payne, released a viral video titled "Republican Cuts Kill," blaming the Ebola crisis on GOP-led budget reductions. The video claims the CDC and NIH lost nearly $1 billion in funding due to sequestration and discretionary cuts since 2010. Critics point to Payne's history with George Soros and the Roosevelt Institute as evidence that the campaign is a partisan effort to influence the upcoming elections.
