Friend --

J Street was the first major Jewish organization to say that President
Trump was unfit to be president.

Our statement, released on March 16, 2016 read:

Nothing in the campaign to date gives us any confidence that Donald Trump,
as Commander-in-Chief, would make rational and principled judgments on the
foreign policy issues of consequence to us or that he would act in
accordance with the core principles that define this country as a
democracy.

As these fears were borne out each day after his election, we dedicated
ourselves to electing a House that would hold him accountable.

Together, we succeeded. We elected a House that has passed measures to
prevent Trump from going to war with Iran. They’ve passed historic
legislation pushing back on his reckless Mideast policies. And today,
they’ve taken the ultimate step to hold him accountable for undermining
our democracy.

Already, pro-Trump groups have started running ads against many of our
endorsees for merely supporting the impeachment inquiry. In 2020, we will
need to protect our friends in the House who’ve done the right thing --
from standing up to Trump’s disastrous Mideast policies to holding him
accountable for his corruption.

[ [link removed] ]Chip in to help us protect every one of our endorsees who has defended
our democracy and our values by holding Trump accountable.

The Senate, unfortunately, has been an entirely different story. Under
Mitch McConnell, it has buried legislation that would restrain Trump’s war
powers. It has confirmed the president’s unqualified and outright
dangerous nominees. It has stood by as Trump has undermined international
law and enacted abhorrently cruel anti-immigrant policies. And now,
McConnell is making it clear he will not give a fair hearing to
overwhelming evidence of the president’s crimes.

Whatever the outcome of the Senate trial, it has become clear that
McConnell is as morally unfit as President Trump to remain in office. He
is as -- if not more -- responsible for undermining our democracy and
enabling the horrific policies of the past three years.

At J Street, we are going to make it our mission over the coming year to
transform the Senate -- just as we transformed the House. That starts with
taking McConnell’s gavel -- and his seat.
