A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.
***********************
PFAW Member,
The House just yesterday voted to condemn Trump's racist tweets from the
weekend, attacking four progressive freshman members of the House – all
women of color.
THANK YOU – thousands of PFAW supporters like you took action to call on
Congress to rebuke Trump and declare that racism is NOT the American Way.
But guess how many Republicans in the House voted with Democrats to
condemn Trump's words? ONLY FOUR!!!
This shocking complicity in allowing Trump to go unchecked will
undoubtedly be a stain on our country's history.
Ever since his campaign for president, Donald Trump's supporters have
become increasingly empowered to be openly racist – AND, since becoming
president, Trump has gone increasingly unchecked by his Republican
colleagues who either reaffirm his racist sentiments or who tacitly do so
by saying nothing at all.
Just last night at a campaign rally Trump (predictably) repeated his
attacks Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and
Ayanna Pressley from the podium, the members of the crowd shouted
“traitor!” (ironically, not directed at Trump) and “they’re evil!” … And
when he focused in on Rep. Omar specifically the crowd began a sustained
chant of “SEND HER BACK. SEND HER BACK.”
And Republicans still, stunningly, remain silent.
[ [link removed] ]Knowing that Republicans refused to condemn President Trump for his
racism, what are some ways progressives can help elevate the issue in
elections against Republicans?
