Friend, let's get one thing straight:

The comments made about Puerto Rico at Donald Trump's rally this weekend were NOT a joke. They were racist, insulting, and entirely unacceptable.

Ya no más.

Any person or party who espouses this kind of vile rhetoric against other humans — let alone citizens of the United States — is unfit to run the White House. And anyone who would tie themselves so closely to a candidate who does, like Rick Scott, has no business in any position of power — especially in Florida.

Please rush $5 or more now toward my $10 million end-of-month goal and help me build the resources to retire him from the Senate.

And what's more, friend, is that they know full well that what they're doing is wrong — and they're terrified of facing the consequences.

How am I so sure? Well, when I went to vote yesterday, I had the displeasure of running into Rick Scott myself, as he rallied Miami Republicans in a misguided attempt to try and intimidate me for social media clicks.

As soon as he saw me there, he sped off in his chauffeured getaway car.

Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? Hardly. It's just who he, Donald Trump, and the GOP are: bigots, cowards, and losers.

First, Rick took a note out of Trump's playbook when he refused to debate me. Then, he comes to my home district and doesn't even have the courage to face me, not to mention answer for his puppet master's despicable attitudes.

Now, he's panicking and desperately trying to placate Florida's large Puerto Rican population, whose votes he's courting to win and stay in power.

The best way he could earn our forgiveness now is by leaving my people in peace, starting by staying out of politics entirely. Sadly, cowards like him don't have the decency to do the right thing and leave us be.

But with the massive fortune he used to buy the 2018 election, he won't leave without a groundswell of Florida voters saying ya no más, too.

And with just 8 days left in this race, I won't galvanize the movement to unseat him if I can't make my crucial $10 million goal by midnight on Thursday.

In short, I can't bring him to account at the ballot box on Election Day without your grassroots support tonight. Will you please rush $5, or anything you can spare, to help me flip Florida blue, retire Rick Scott, and stop the GOP's hatred from getting a hold of the Senate majority?

Let's get this done.
