Friend,

I don’t know what’s left to be said.

Once again, Donald Trump has launched another hateful attack against a prominent leader of color. Over the weekend, he tweeted out vile, abhorrent lies about the city of Baltimore and about my colleague and friend, Congressman Elijah Cummings. If you’re sick and tired of Trump’s offensive twitter tirades, now’s your chance to join me in fighting back.

Trump tweeted that the city of Baltimore is a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” and a “very dangerous and filthy place.” He continued by attacking Rep. Cummings' leadership in Congress and by calling Baltimore a place where “no human being would want to live.”

You don’t have to read between the lines to understand what Trump is getting at. And then this morning, Trump sent several tweets attacking Al Sharpton. As he continues to double down on hate, I need to know that you’ve got my back so I can continue to speak out against this truly un-American president.

I guess Trump forgot that he is supposed to serve every American -- regardless of where they live or what race they are. We cannot let it become normal for an American President to attack his own citizens.

A $200, $100, or $50 donation today won’t stop Donald Trump from saying hateful things. But if enough people chip in, I’ll know it’s an issue that voters like you care about, and I’ll be able to double down on my efforts to stop this dangerous and un-American hate speech. So if you’ve had enough, can I count on your support today?

Best,
Ted
