Lipinski’s spouting Trump talking points - help Marie fight back

  John,   According to Dan Lipinski, fighting for healthcare for all and addressing the crisis of climate change makes one a “far-left extremist.”     That’s right - in a mailer sent to constituents this week, Lipinski parroted Trump Administration talking points to attack Marie and her …
