Friends,

While we were attempting to stage a peaceful protest in downtown Tyler today to protest the unlawful occupation of Portland by federal law enforcement, Louie Gohmert’s supporters ganged up on and beat the hell out of my campaign manager, Ryan—and stole his brand new IPhone 10.

The cut under Ryan’s eye is just one of the visible injuries he’s received. We will have him checked out by medical professionals to make sure he’s not received any further internal injuries.

All this happened while the Tyler Police Department’s officers drove around the square in their cars waving at Louie’s thugs.

I urge you to do three things now:

1.) Call Louie’s office and tell him to denounce the actions of his armed thugs at (903) 561-6349

2.) Make whatever contribution you can to my campaign, so we can rid America of Louie Gohmert once and for all.

3.) Call the Tyler Police Chief Jimmy Toler at (903) 531-1015 and ask him why his officers were too scared to come on the square and protect peaceful protesters, only showing up after violence was well underway.

I will not stand for Louie’s supporters beating up my campaign manager. I am more committed than ever to winning this race after what happened on the square in Tyler today.

Hank
