Which America are the speakers at the RNC living in?
If you’ve been watching like we have, you’ve seen a spree of partisan speeches extolling the “greatest economy ever.” And we won’t argue with part of that – Donald Trump’s economy was certainly the greatest economy for corporations, millionaires, and the top 1%.
But his massive tax breaks for companies and special interests didn’t help working people. His administration didn’t raise the minimum wage. And his Republican allies in Congress have fought tooth and nail to deny additional COVID-19 relief measures from passing.
It gets worse. Now, people like Mike Pence are trying to rewrite history and claim that Donald Trump did everything in his power to deal with this pandemic. But they can’t deny what we saw with our own eyes: Months of Donald Trump downplaying the virus, blaming others, and refusing to take decisive action.
Now, Americans are paying the price – with our jobs and for far too many, with our lives. Trump’s reelection strategy is obvious. His plan is to lie about what happened and over promise for the future. But let’s make something clear: Trump is not fighting for working America.
Thanks for your time,
