Donald Trump caused long-lasting harm to America in many ways, including the normalization of white supremacy in the Republican party. His success has led others in the GOP to embrace racism and nationalism.
Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar has spoken at conferences and was advertised as attending a joint fundraiser with the leader of a white nationalist group. Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz appeared at an event that used the Proud Boys as security. And in my own delegation of Georgia, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was part of the QAnon conspiracy movement.
This is deeply disturbing to me, and we need to act against it. As more right-wing extremists enter Congress, I’m increasingly worried about what they’ll do if they win the majority.
Will you donate today to stop White Supremacists in Congress from taking the majority? If they take control of the House, the consequences could be disastrous.
Under previous presidents — including Republicans — white supremacy was condemned. Racist groups still existed, but they knew they didn’t have the support at the highest levels of government.
But Trump changed that. White supremacist groups are excited, even giddy, by Trump and his followers in Congress. That only empowered them to spread their racist ideology far and wide.
With more politicians spreading white supremacy comes higher rates of hate crimes and a culture that harms people of color. If we allow them to win control of Congress, it will only get worse.
If you contribute today, you’ll be doing your part in combating white supremacy in America. I hope you’ll join our fight.
Always fighting,
— Team Hank
