Friend,
Well, the RNC once again topped
itself on the weirdness scale. Because wow, was last night weird. And
we’ll tell you at the top before you scroll down too much. Yes,
there’s a wacky picture of Matt Gaetz. But there’s more and it’s
important.
Matt Gaetz took the stage last
night and shocked America. Not with his words, but with his
appearance. It looked like he stopped by a plastic surgeon backstage
and said, “give me the most face filling you’re legally allowed to
give me and then draw on my eyebrows with a marker. Oh, and don't
forget to dump five tubes of gel into my hair.”
Just look at it. It’s totally fine
if you stop reading the rest of this email.
Scroll down for the photo. We’re
giving it some space so you don’t have to look at it if you don’t want
to.
(While
you’re waiting, if you’re sick of the crazy and haven’t pitched in to
support what we’re doing – now’s the perfect time! You know we’re the
ones who are going to win this fight and stop
Trump.)
(hang on)
(just a little more
space)
OK, here’s the photo:
We have no more words.
But that’s not all.
Later on Wednesday night, we heard
from Peter “Jailbird” Navarro. We have to give him props. Three hours
before his speech, he was still in prison. What a loser. You go to
prison for four months just to protect some orange idiot and the first
thing you do when you get out is fly across the country to be by his
side again? Come on. No shot Donnie even thought of visiting this guy
while he was behind bars. The party of law and order? Not
quite.
But we have to talk about J.D. The
guy who spent years knifing Trump and has bent the knee. Every
punch-able crypto-bro’s walking wet dream.
Is it fair to say we expected… more
of… anything? Dude came off as a total dud. Like, mind-numbingly
boring. He talked about how much he hates America now that Trump’s out
of office, he told bizarre family stories, most of which involved his
grandmother threatening to kill people, and he spent an awful lot of
time talking about the gravesite that he’s already purchased for
himself and his family. Yikes. But seriously, this speech was so
boring that even Trump was dozing off. If there’s one thing Trump
stays awake for, it’s people kissing his ass on camera. But nope, the
big speech of the night was a certified flop. We’re just glad we
didn’t have to watch it sitting next to MAGA Mike like J.D.’s
mom.
Thankfully, tonight’s the last
night. The freak show all comes to a close after the orange messiah
gives his keynote. And just remember one thing: No matter what Trump
says, no matter what the talking heads try to spin – Trump hasn’t
changed. He’s the biggest threat to our democracy in almost 250 years.
He is not moderate and he never will be. He hasn’t changed, and it’s
clear that the people around him haven't either.
The mission here remains the same.
Stop Trump, save America. Help
us keep pushing >>
