The racism is obvious and unfortunately not new from Donald Trump.

What is also not new is the pathetic attempt to make excuses - blaming a staffer for posting a video on his personal social media account in the middle of the night?!

The only question is whether we will finally accept that this is who Donald Trump is and turn our back on him. 

We can debate policy, but elections ultimately are about values and who we are. I know where I stand - a Pennsylvania and America that will again be the shining City on the Hill. As I start my re-election effort, can you contribute what you can to help me fight for a Commonwealth and country that upholds our values again?

Together, we can turn our back on Donald Trump and his racism.

Sincerely,

Rep. Arvind Venkat, MD
