The GOP is taking a calculated approach to try and get rid of Eric.
First, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy pulled a stunt to try and have Eric removed from his position on the House Intelligence Committee.
When that failed, they sent in Donald Trump.
Earlier this week Donald Trump ripped into Eric in a statement that was released to the press — calling him a lightweight and attempting to smear our team’s character with partisan attacks.
There’s no doubt about it, John: The GOP has launched a coordinated attack against Eric as punishment for his work to hold Republicans accountable. And now, with their own party plagued by scandal, Trump and his loyalists are ripping into Democratic leaders like Eric to distract from their own corruption.
We never thought that we would have to go on the defensive this early on in the election cycle, but these coordinated GOP efforts to undermine our work and spread lies about Eric have left us with no other choice.
Heading into 2022, we know that Donald Trump wants nothing more than to see Eric lose — and we know he’ll go to any length to try to make that happen.
Thank you,
