Team,
George Buck, another GOP candidate for Congress, said Ilhan should be hanged -- this time in a fundraising email.
It’s absolutely sickening that any person would threaten another’s life. But for a candidate for Congress to call for the murder of a member of Congress is disturbing in an entirely different way. It goes against everything we should stand for as a country.
Meanwhile, Buck is supported by the National Republican Congressional Committee, which is chaired by Minnesota Republican Rep. Tom Emmer, and was a member of their “Young Guns” program. Emmer and the rest of the GOP leadership remain silent on their multiple candidates who have called for Ilhan, the first black woman elected to Congress from Emmer's home state, to be hanged.
Show Ilhan you’re standing with her by chipping in whatever you can to her re-election campaign today.

In recent weeks, Ilhan’s GOP challenger in Minnesota also called for her to be lynched. A man plead guilty in court for threatening to “put a bullet” in her. The hateful, violent rhetoric shows no signs of stopping.
We cannot become numb to these death threats, team. We won’t let Islamophobia and violence win. We must keep building up Ilhan’s campaign for peace and prosperity.
Stand with Ilhan’s movement for progress by donating whatever you can here.
Through every threat and every smear to her character, you’ve supported Ilhan and her vision for the America we deserve. Thank you. Your solidarity has not gone unseen.
Team Ilhan
