 Friend, Last week, Donald Trump visited Minnesota -- and wasted no time embracing racist rhetoric. He coupled a promise to prosecute Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with this statement: "You have good genes, you know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it, don't you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we're so different? You have good genes in Minnesota." I want to be clear about something: The "racehorse theory" is a racist idea that some of us are born genetically superior to others. This theory was used by the Nazis to justify the Holocaust -- it's eugenics. It's used by white nationalists today, and President Trump elevated that ideology in Minnesota to justify hate. It's despicable -- and it's not representative of the Minnesota I know and love. The soul of this state is at stake in this election. This is the rhetoric Donald Trump hopes to win Minnesota with -- unless we stop it right here, right now. The final end-of-quarter deadline before the end of this election is on Wednesday -- we need to raise $50,000 by midnight on Wednesday to get our ads up on the air and tell the story of a different Minnesota, one that's not driven by fear, but by optimism. But I need your help to do that. If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately
This is the moment where we show the grassroots power behind this campaign, and the movement away from hate and fear and toward optimism and acceptance. We can do it together -- I know we can. Thank you, Dean Phillips
