Gemini Co-Founder Tyler Winklevoss Slams Elizabeth Warren’s Latest Email Campaign

Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss took to X on September 10 to criticize Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), calling her latest email campaign “dishonest” as she faces off against pro-crypto attorney John Deaton in her re-election bid.

Tyler Winklevoss Slams Elizabeth Warren For Email Campaign

Winklevoss’s post came in response to an email sent by Warren’s campaign, which claimed that conservative, crypto-funded groups were launching multi-million-dollar ad campaigns against her.

Winklevoss labeled her statements as misleading, arguing that Warren’s anti-crypto stance has been damaging to the 50 million Americans who own digital assets.

He encouraged voters to support her opponent, John Deaton, to counter what he described as Warren’s “unlawful war” on the crypto industry.

In his X post, Winklevoss shared a screenshot of the email, in which Warren alleged that the Winklevoss brothers, along with other crypto investors, were upset about her call for “fair regulations” aimed at protecting working people.

Tyler and his twin brother Cameron have been vocal in their political involvement, particularly with right-leaning causes.

In June of this year, they each donated $1 million to Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Earlier this year, the billionaire brothers gave nearly $5 million to the crypto super PAC Fairshake, which focuses on supporting pro-crypto politicians in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.

Elizabeth Warren Faces Off Against Pro-Crypto John Deaton

Warren’s latest email campaign seeks to rally support as she approaches the final weeks of her re-election campaign.

Her opponent, John Deaton, has long been a supporter of the blockchain sector, gaining financial backing from some of the biggest names in crypto, including Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen, as well as former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

Warren has been a strong proponent of stricter regulations in the crypto sector. Her Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act (DAAMLA) has received bipartisan support and would tighten oversight of digital assets

Earlier this year, Warren made headlines when she argued that cryptocurrencies were aiding criminal organizations.

“Crypto is helping rogue states,” Warren said. “It’s helping terrorists. It’s helping criminal organizations fund their operations on a scale we have never seen before.”

Despite Deaton’s support from key crypto figures, Warren remains a formidable opponent in Massachusetts, where she has built a strong base.

Deaton faces an uphill battle as he tries to unseat the long-standing senator.
