Brad Parscale

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israel of using U.S. taxpayer funds to suppress critics, referencing a Time magazine article on Brad Parscale, former campaign manager for U.S. President Donald Trump. The article claims Parscale is managing an Israeli influence operation targeting the MAGA base. The post coincides with the U.S. conducting strikes on Iran following a collapsed ceasefire.

Brad Parscale is leading an Israeli-funded social media campaign targeting MAGA to counter an anti-Israel shift among young conservatives. Israel and the US are reportedly dissatisfied with the campaign's results.

Trump's former campaign manager Brad Parscale ran a multimillion-dollar pro-Israel influencer campaign through his firm Clock Tower X, contracted by Havas. The campaign targeted young conservatives using social media platforms, with influencers compensated based on engagement metrics. The stated goal was combating antisemitism, but the report suggests the true aim was preventing criticism of Israel among conservatives.

Brad Parscale, Trump's 2020 campaign manager, ran a pro-Israel influencer campaign through his firm Clock Tower X, funded by Israel to critique Trump's Iran ceasefire and counter antisemitism. The campaign used conservative influencers, including Eyal Yakoby, to generate content on social media platforms, with payments tied to engagement metrics.

Brad Parscale, Ex-Trump Campaign Chief, directed $13 million from the Israeli government through his firm Clock Tower X to Republican digital strategy companies and allies, including Salem Media Group and SparkFire. The funds, facilitated by Havas Media Network, were used for pro-Israel messaging and media campaigns, with millions also going to Portman Road Strategies run by Mike Shields.
