The following statement was released earlier today by the Lobby Of Some Erics:
Today we, the people of LOSEr (Lobby Of Some Erics) have come together to fight the disparaging public image we have to contend with in a heated political climate where one of our own keeps publicly broadcasting bigoted, irrational and astonishingly stupid remarks on a very regular basis. The son of the President Of The United States is in a position to raise the profile of Erics. He could have been the standard-bearer of all that is beautiful and honorable about Erics. He could have been an example to little Erics everywhere, someone to look up to when they’re lost, when they are figuring out the world and developing their Eric-ness at the same time (this can be tremendously overwhelming, as we all know). Instead he is dragging our good name through the mud.
We say yes. One can.
That is why we’ve today decided to launch #NotAllErics. We hope this hashtag will trend and raise awareness to the fact that not all Erics are Eric Trump. Erics can be brought out of the long shadow cast by Mr. Trump 2.0 and be a force for good.
We don’t have to be Eric Trump. We will not be.
