Indivisibles,
I’m sure you’ve seen the news: Our disgraced, twice-impeached [ [link removed] ]former
president Donald Trump has officially been indicted in New York, stemming
from an investigation into potentially fraudulent payments he made to
Stormy Daniels back in 2016. This is unprecedented -- no president (not
even Richard Nixon) has ever been indicted in the history of our country.
And because of his total inability to operate within the bounds of the
law, we all know that no one has earned the distinction of being the first
quite like Donald Trump has.
We've officially entered the era of Donald Trump’s criminal
accountability. Whatever happens with this indictment, the ground has
shifted for Trump and those who would do anything to see him get
re-elected. It’s not a matter of if Trump will face charges at this point,
it’s a matter of when -- and not just in this New York case. Trump is also
under investigation by a Department of Justice special counsel and in
Georgia for his now-infamous phone call demanding Secretary of State Brad
Raffensperger “find 11,7800 votes” so he could steal the presidential
election.
Trump’s response has been unhinged, because he knows his fate is in the
legal system’s hands, and no longer with his MAGA sycophants in Congress.
As activists, we worked for years to hold Trump accountable. Now, we must
demand that Republicans answer for the leader of their party and the
criminal charges that he’s facing.
Every Republican, including [ [link removed] ]the 18 currently holding seats in
congressional districts Biden won, has played a part in shielding Trump
from the consequences of his crimes. They've advanced the corrupt and
hateful agenda that he ran on, and turned a blind eye as he attempted to
coerce our allies overseas into digging up dirt on his political rivals,
spread conspiracy theories and misinformation to overturn the 2020
election, and incited a deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. As
I write this, these MAGA enablers are standing by supportively as their
fellow [ [link removed] ]Republicans in the House try to intimidate New York’s district
attorney and protect Trump one more time.
Those Republicans who refuse to condemn Trump are nevertheless sending a
clear message to their constituents and to the American people: They think
Donald Trump is above the law. They simply don’t care what criminal
activity he engages in as long as he takes back the White House in 2024.
They do not care about our democracy and they do not care about the
American people. They only care about power.
That’s why I’m so encouraged to be in this movement with all of you. I
know that we won’t let that happen. Our movement started in response to
Trump’s election and to the destructive ideology of the MAGA agenda, and
through these last six years, we have never lost sight of our goal to
defend our democracy from any attacks. We will hold Trump accountable in
the courts and at the ballot box, and we’ll do it together.
In solidarity,
