EXPOSED: Why Are Some “Conservative” Influencers Suddenly Pushing for Government-Paid Soda? (Screenshots)
A shocking scandal just erupted, exposing a group of so-called “conservative” influencers who allegedly took Big Soda’s money to push for soda purchases with food stamps (SNAP)—and Trump supporters are calling foul. Nick Sortor, a journalist recently swatted for exposing truth, uncovered the dirty scheme in a must-read X thread, revealing how these influencers manipulated loyal followers while hiding their paid ties. The issue? A proposed SNAP soda ban, which argues taxpayers shouldn’t fund junk food, per Trends Newsline. But these influencers spun it into a “War on Soda,” and the deception runs deep—let’s break it down with Sortor’s thread, in order.
Sortor first exposed the organization behind the debacle, a middleman profiting by selling out our country, paying influencers to push Big Soda’s talking points .

He revealed how they invoked President Trump’s Diet Coke button as an emotional manipulation tactic, claiming a SNAP ban would be anti-Trump, while not disclosing they were paid—leading readers to fear a general soda ban .
These influencers were given a couple templates to use by Influenceable, with one of those templates SPECIFICALLY telling them to mention Trump’s Diet Coke habit
This was done to invoke an EMOTIONAL response from loyal Trump supporters, making them feel as if banning soda from… pic.twitter.com/yjqBFlCMJx

“This is an incredibly dirty tactic, meant to manipulate loyal followers,” Sortor slammed, calling it what it is: slime.
The way Influenceable operates is simple: they develop comfy relationships with lobbying firms (@AmeriBev and @CartChoice are potentially some examples) who are funded handsomely by massive corporations, such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo

He dug deeper, exposing how this organization acts as a middleman, raking in cash to lobby through influencers, essentially betraying America’s values.
There was another template too, specifically pushing a CPAC link calling this a “War on Soda”

The core issue? Transparency. “Do we care if people are paid for their posts? No. Should they be upfront about it? Yes,” Sortor stressed, highlighting their stance on proposed regulations.

He mocked the dramatic “War on Soda” framing:
Influenceable does this a LOT. Pushing sketchy leftist aligned ads in the past.
They’ll also pay people to routinely push candidates and movies too.
This is a much more innocent example, but I’m sure you’ve seen some of these posts.
This gives you a visual from start to… pic.twitter.com/oNb1i3ki2M

He’s urging followers to understand the scam.
Some, like Riley Gaines, turned down the deal and said so:
Luckily, some patriots such as @Riley_Gaines_ REFUSED to sell out to Big Soda, turned down the offer, and called the situation out. https://t.co/KNbTtQFrjZ

While others, like @ClownWorld_, deleted their posts after backlash, claiming they weren’t paid.
I made a post and deleted it within the first hour. I withdrew from the campaign entirely and removed my post. I haven’t received a single penny from “Big Soda” or anyone else for this.

For Trump patriots, this is infuriating. With DOGE cutting $2 trillion in waste, borders secure, and cartels deported, conservatives should stand for integrity, not Big Soda’s cash. Web reports from Missouri Independent confirm the SNAP debate, while X users demand, “Expose the sellouts—Trump’s base deserves better!” Check the screenshots—this betrayal won’t stand under Trump’s America First leadership.
