Dear friend,
Joe Biden betrayed my son.
Chad was a U.S. Marshal defending the Federal Courthouse in Portland,
Oregon, during the violent summer riots of 2020.
But instead of rewarding Chad for bravely putting his life on the line to
protect life and property, the Biden administration is allowing his life to
be destroyed.
And now I’m afraid he’ll lose everything…which is why I’m reaching out to you today to help my
son.
That’s my son, Chad Skaggs, his wife Roxana and my three beautiful
grandkids.
At
the height of the 2020 riots, President Trump sent Chad and his fellow
Marshals to restore law and order in Portland--because the local and state
authorities refused to stop the riots.
A violent left-wing mob blocked the Courthouse doors to trap Chad and his
fellow Marshals inside.
Then they set the building on fire.
Thank God he escaped.
But outside--as the city burned around them--Chad and his fellow officers
were pelted with rocks, frozen water bottles, and Molotov cocktail-style
firebombs.
Eventually, the Marshals were able to disperse the mob restore law and
order.
What happened next is shocking… and left my son and his family
devastated.
Leftist rioters brought a civil lawsuit against Chad.
After escaping the burning Courthouse, Chad and his fellow Marshals tried
to move the rioters away from the building.
One of the Marshals was forced to use his baton and pepper spray on the
violent leftists who refused orders to disperse.
Video evidence shows minimal force was used against the mob. And remember,
this was a group of radicals who tried to kill
these federal officers--and then refused commands to back away.
All summer they were chanting slogans like "all cops are bastards"
and "pigs must die."
Still, the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) jumped at the
chance to sue Chad on behalf of the radical rioters.
President Trump was also named in the lawsuit, along with other officials
and law enforcement officers.
With a lawsuit against a law enforcement officer, the government typically
provides an attorney and legal resources for the officer.
But Biden’s DOJ said it
was "not in the interest of the United States" to defend Chad
in court.
Joe Biden chose the rioters over my son.
Chad was home recovering from hip surgery for an injury he sustained when
they came to his house asking for his gun and his badge...
I know that Chad is being thrown to the wolves for purely political
reasons.
And I know that Joe Biden is making a statement by turning his back on the
law enforcement officers like Chad because they were sent into Portland by
President Trump.
Let’s be honest, the leftist base of Joe Biden’s party hates the
police.
They want people like Chad to suffer.
They know he can’t afford to pay for a legal defense for himself.
They know he will be financially destroyed and his family will be
destitute.
But they want to make an example out of him.
And so I’d resigned myself to thinking that there was nothing I could do
and that the bad guys were going to win.
Until we got the phone call that changed everything.
It was Jason from LELDF saying they would help provide a free legal defense
for Chad.
Believe me, your kind donation today of $35, $50, or $100
to LELDF to defend Chad will mean so much to our family.
Friend, I can’t emphasize enough that my son never asked for any of
this!
After more than 14 years in the Army as a Green Beret, Chad has served with
distinction for the past 11 years in the U.S. Marshal Service.
And this is the “thanks” he gets from the Commander-in-Chief:
betrayal and
retaliation.
LELDF is preparing to ramp up legal action in Chad’s
case, so I’m counting on your gift of $35 or more today to help fund his
defense.
Whether or not you can give, please keep Chad and our family in your
prayers.
With deep appreciation,
Linda Skaggs
P.S. I know in my heart that most Americans
are good people who support law enforcement and don’t want to see my son
Chad destroyed for simply doing his job. Please consider taking a stand for
what’s right today by helping my son by clicking this link: https://secure.anedot.com/leldf/cb2008faac55b0a983ae2
