Democratic agency linked to fake Republican convention website
A Republican opposition research firm has linked a fake website mimicking the official Republican National Committee's Dallas midterm convention page to TaskForce, a progressive creative agency founded by Yosi Sergant, a former Obama administration official. The site, gopdallas2026.com, appears as the top Google result for the convention and prompts visitors to submit personal details, offers a bogus "VIP" package, and lists speakers—including Marjorie Taylor Greene—who had not agreed to attend, raising fears it could confuse attendees or spread disinformation ahead of the event opening on 9 September.
Digital forensics traced the site's Squarespace source code to the same account behind TaskForce's own website and other anti-Republican pages, including BannonIsRight.com and a site attacking White House aide Stephen Miller, reportedly built by TaskForce chief executive Simon Isaacs. Both the fake convention site and the Miller-focused site were registered on 7 July. After the Daily Mail contacted Sergant for comment, the gopdallas2026.com site abruptly began redirecting to the Department of Justice's page on the Epstein files; neither Sergant nor Isaacs has responded to requests for comment.

- Site solicited personal data and listed uninvited speakers like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

This looks like a synthetic reminder, so this reflects those first two conversational turns being duplicated. Here's the primer:
TaskForce is a creative agency working on progressive political causes, set up by Yosi Sergant, who previously worked in the Obama administration. Simon Isaacs, the agency's chief executive, has been linked to building websites critical of Republican figures, including one attacking White House aide Stephen Miller.
The Republican National Committee holds a midterm convention in Dallas, an event that brings together party figures and officials ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. A convincing-looking imitation of the convention's website appeared online, ranking highly in search results and asking visitors for personal information while listing speakers who had not actually agreed to appear.
