First, Trump launched attacks against Gretchen Whitmer, deriding her as “that woman” and calling for the “liberation” of Michigan. Radical right-wing groups responded by storming the State Capitol building and demanded a recall.

Then, Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.” Right-wing militant groups in Michigan heard him loud and clear.

Just days ago, the FBI thwarted a full-fledged terrorist plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government.

We’ve seen the disastrous effects of Trump’s hateful rhetoric. When division, fear, and hatred are spewed from the highest office, it preys on bigotry and sows the seeds of violence.

Enough is enough. We can’t give a President who uses his office to attack leaders who don’t agree with him a second term.

We’re in a battle for the soul of our nation, and it’s a fight we need to win. Will you rush a contribution of $10 today to defend Gretchen and put an end to the hate speech and attacks from the White House?

When Trump refused to condemn White Supremacist groups like the Proud Boys, he emboldened them. Now we are seeing the consequences of his hateful and divisive rhetoric.

Let’s get it done,

Team Whitmer
