MAGA celebrity Rob Schneider has joined one of Elon Musk’s most controversial efforts: offering to pay voters.
The comedian and actor on Thursday matched an offer made by the Musk-backed America PAC for registered Wisconsin voters to sign a “Petition in Opposition to Activist Judges” and receive $100 in return. Axios was the first to lead with the Musk report.
“Judges should interpret laws as written, not rewrite them to fit their personal or political agendas,” America PAC said in a post on X. “Wisconsin registered voters receive $100 for signing the petition & $100 for each signer they refer.”
Schneider quickly joined in: “I will MATCH [Elon Musk’s] PAC OFFER to Wisconsin voters for $100 dollars… Up to $100 dollars!”
Schneider, an SNL alum, is a longtime outspoken Trump supporter who appears on conservative shows including Fox & Friends.
An April 1 election in Wisconsin will fill a crucial seat on the swing state’s Supreme Court.
America PAC and Building America’s Future, another Musk-backed group, have spent nearly $20 million to boost Brad Schimel, the Republican bet for the Wisconsin court seat.
His Democratic opponent, Susan Crawford, has drawn in millions of donations from liberal donors including George Soros and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
MAGA fanatics, led by President Donald Trump himself, have called for the impeachment of judges who have blocked the administration’s sweeping moves to remake the federal government.
Trump threw a fresh meltdown Thursday evening after federal judge James Boasberg blasted a “woefully insufficient” filing by the administration in the legal battle over the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants.
Schneider also blasted federal judges and Democrats in a series of X posts.
“The Chief Executive, our PRESIDENT, is the ONLY ELECTED OFFICIAL VOTED into OFFICE by ALL of the CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA,” he wrote. “It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for the PRESIDENT to be impeded by a DISTRICT COURT JUDGE. Congress must LEGISLATE to STOP this impediment NOW!”
