Friend,
Earlier today, Jill sat down for an
interview with celebrated journalist Tavis Smiley. As the interview
began, Tavis read an email written to him on behalf of the DNC that
was sent with the intention of coercing him into asking their
outrageous gotcha questions to Jill as if they were his
own!
Tavis Smiley is a real journalist
who holds himself to high ethical standards. He wasn’t going to allow
the DNC to dictate how he conducts interviews. So he did indeed read
off the accusations disguised as questions that the DNC had sent him,
while all along making clear that he was doing this to give Jill the
opportunity to respond to the anti-Democratic Party’s preferred
narrative of fear-mongering about “spoilers” instead of what they
clearly had in mind – using him as a mouthpiece to advance their
narrative.
It begs the question of how many interviews have Jill and Butch
done in good faith, only to have the DNC meddling behind the scenes?
Might this explain why we’ve been seeing the same hostile narrative
from the mainstream press over and over again? Not all journalists
conduct themselves with Tavis Smiley’s integrity. We’re grateful to
him for blowing the cover off of the way they try to rig the media
against us.
What we do know is that the DNC
felt perfectly at ease in attempting to strong-arm Tavis into doing
their bidding. They’re so used to being able to manipulate the press
that they’re caught off guard when a journalist with ethics refuses to
play their game.
Friend,
with less than two weeks to go, we urgently need to get the truth out
there – that there’s no such thing as a “spoiler” in such a rotten and
corrupt political system and that voters everywhere have the choice to
vote their values with Jill and Butch. Can you contribute whatever you
can today, $2.40, $24.00 or more to help us get the word out through
ads and billboards to voters everywhere?
