Dear MoveOn member,
Instead of debating his fellow Republicans, Donald Trump is skipping town.
While they take the stage for the first GOP debate, Trump will be hiding
out with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one
interview.^1
A disgraced president being interviewed by a disgraced talk show host. A
perfect pairing in today's MAGA GOP.
With that in mind, we thought what better time to drive some digital
billboards around Mar-a-Lago reminding the world what Tucker actually
thinks of Trump, and why Trump should be disqualified for president?
These billboards could have one side saying something like "No person
shall … hold any office … who shall have engaged in insurrection or
rebellion against the [United States] … " 14th Amendment.^2
With the other side saying "I HATE [TRUMP] PASSIONATELY." - Tucker
Carlson, a direct quote from Carlson's own text messages about Trump.^3
[ [link removed] ]If you want to help MoveOn upstage Trump's canned interview with
Tucker, by driving billboards around his house at Mar-a-Lago, please make
a $3
donation today. We will be able to pull this off only if we get enough
support from MoveOn members like you.
If Trump wants to upstage the Republican debate by doing an interview with
Tucker, then we are going to upstage his theatrics. Because the other
Republican candidates are too cowardly to really call out Trump—and will
end up humiliated by his refusal to join them.
If we can raise the money, these digital billboards will drive around his
house where the media will see them all week—a reminder of what the
majority of Americans believe: that he is unfit to hold office.
But let's be clear: We aren't doing this simply because it will be fun to
see Trump's reaction (it will) or fun to see all the social media
attention these billboards will undoubtedly receive (that too) or fun to
see Republicans in Florida demand they be turned off (that will be the
best).
We are doing it to make a bigger point.
We plan to do it because defeating Trump and keeping him out of the White
House will take actions from us and our allies on all fronts. We must do
whatever it takes to keep this white supremacist out of the White House.
Women's rights. Trans rights. Economic equality. Our climate. All demand
we act in every way we can.
So, imagine how good it will make you feel to know
your $3
donation went to a digital billboard that drove around Mar-a-Lago
reminding the world that Tucker Carlson said, "THERE REALLY ISN'T AN
UPSIDE TO TRUMP."^4 Followed by the simple message:
2 TIMES IMPEACHED
4 TIMES INDICTED
91 TIMES CRIMINALLY CHARGED

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to
right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from
their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile,"
filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around
to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will
attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into
2024, we need your help.
Will you chip in to power our critical work?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
