Trump uses Rose Garden event for extended campaign-like attack on Biden — Washington Post, 7/14/20
Friends —
Unprecedented, despicable and embarrassing.
Yesterday, Donald Trump used the Rose Garden to hurl false attacks at Vice President Joe Biden at what was a campaign rally thinly disguised as a “news conference.” Trump took to a podium outside the Oval Office and ranted, rambled and hurled pre-scripted attacks on Joe Biden for nearly an hour.
Independent fact-checkers haven’t gotten all the way through the transcript yet, and they’ve already found 19 false or misleading statements in Trump’s Rose Garden rant.
Friends, we CANNOT allow these lies to go unchecked. We must all do our part to elect leaders up and down the ticket who will restore integrity and honesty to Washington. Mark Warner has been fighting to hold the president accountable from day one.
Chip in $19 for each of Trump’s false claims that have been uncovered so far.
What’s worse, Donald Trump made a mockery of the dignified setting normally used for official presidential announcements. We know he is upset because he’s had to cancel campaign rallies, but it violates White House protocol to launch campaign attacks against political rivals in speeches in the Rose Garden.
This November, let’s finally put an end to Trump’s lies and elect Democratic leaders like Mark Warner, who will restore integrity to Washington. If you have the means, will you support Mark’s re-election campaign?
Thank you,
Team Warner
