Hello,
Russian state media is right now airing clips from Fox News of people like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson praising Vladimir Putin.
When I was an admiral in the U.S. Navy and the commander of all U.S. forces in East Africa, I requested that Fox News be turned off in the mess halls during meal hours. Its lie-filled propaganda was a national security threat to my troops’ ability to carry out our mission.
I’ve seen the real-life consequences of disinformation and media lies that are manufactured and repeated by people like Donald Trump and his acolytes like my opponent Chuck Grassley. And as January 6th showed, it is a threat to our very democracy.
It will take significant campaign funding to fight back against all of the lies Fox News and Mitch McConnell’s Super PACs are going to tell about me. That’s why we’ve set a goal of raising another $15,000 before our critical deadline at midnight tonight to keep our new TV ads up.
Right now, we are still falling a little short, but with the help of grassroots donors like you now, we can defeat Chuck Grassley and turn Iowa blue:

Fox News’ propaganda and Chuck Grassley’s lies cannot go unanswered. But I need your help to respond.
Thank you for being a critical part of this campaign,
Mike Franken, VADM, U.S. Navy (ret.)
