John,

Donald Trump held a hate rally at Madison Square Garden yesterday. His parade of speakers repeated a litany of racist, misogynistic rhetoric, and threatened violence at its enemies. Even outlets that have been blatantly sanewashing Trump’s behavior over the past year are waking up to the threat he represents:

“Comedian” Kill Tony used his appearance at Madison Square Garden to call Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.” Coincidentally, I was in Puerto Rico last week with Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley to attend the opening of San Juan’s only Social Security office.

We didn’t think that Puerto Rico would become an issue in the election. We fought for the office’s re-opening because San Juan is home to about as many people as all of Wyoming, and they deserve to be able to access the benefits they pay into through a lifetime of hard work, just like every other American.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer. Kamala Harris and the people around her are fighting for Puerto Ricans and all Americans. Donald Trump and the people around him are mocking them.

There are 8 days until Election Day. At least 100 million people will vote in that time. Help us reach seniors and let them know what’s at stake this Election Day.
