I sent this email pretty late last night, so I wanted to make sure you saw it, friends. Donald Trump inciting hatred and xenophobia at his rally in Minnesota yesterday was only a preview of how brutal the final 33 days of the election will be — Trump and the GOP aren't holding back any punches when it comes to smearing our movement, disparaging refugees, and spreading debunked conspiracy theories. They will do whatever it takes to flip Minnesota red.

We need support like we've never seen before in these final weeks to secure wins for Democrats up and down the ballot in Minnesota and across the country.

Will you chip in your first donation of $5 right now to make sure we have the resources to help us fight back and kick Trump out of the White House once and for all?

Thank you,

Subject: "Lock her up!" (Another attack from Trump and his supporters)

Friends,

I’ll never forget the night last year that Donald Trump goaded his supporters into booing me and chanting, “Send her back!” Just moments ago, after Trump smeared me as “corrupt and crooked” at his rally here in my home state of Minnesota, his supporters responded with another all-too-familiar chant: “Lock her up!”

Trump didn’t limit his attacks to just me though, he went on a tirade about people who have lived and struggled like me and so many others in our country — refugees. “Biden will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp,” he said, naming my birth country of Somalia as one of the “most dangerous places in the world” where refugees are coming from, and inciting boos from the crowd.

I’m not surprised that this president would demonize and disparage people fleeing war and persecution, or that he’d attack a sitting member of Congress — he has a history of that behavior. But what I am shocked about is when people from Minnesota show that kind of cruelty because that’s not representative of the state I love and call home.

Now is the time to ramp up our get-out-the-vote operations and turn out the progressive voters in the Fifth District who will reject Trump’s hate and keep this state blue.

Will you rush in a $5 donation to our campaign to help us turn out thousands of voters and finally defeat Trump?

Thank you,

Ilhan Omar
