The entire Republican Party has covered for Donald Trump’s overt racism for years. Now, the House GOP has gone ahead and endorsed it outright: On Tuesday evening, virtually every Republican representative voted against a resolution condemning Trump’s virulent, bigoted attacks on four Democratic members of Congress, all of whom are women of color.
You know what? To hell with that. We need to give these hatemongers the boot, and right quick. Here’s how we do it: Daily Kos has identified a baker’s dozen worth of congressional districts where Republicans will be highly vulnerable in 2020. You can donate immediately to ActBlue’s nominee funds to flip each of these seats blue; all money will be held in escrow until each state’s primary, then transferred to the winner in one fell swoop.
Giving now ensures that our candidates will start the general election with flush coffers. It’ll also help convince Republicans facing difficult re-election campaigns that they’re better off retiring, which is exactly what Georgia Rep. Rob Woodall—grayed out in the photo array at the top of this post—has already decided to do.
Last cycle, we used these nominee funds to great effect: 21 of the 24 Republicans we targeted are no longer in Congress. Let’s finish the job and kick hatred out of the halls of power.
Please give $1 to turn these seats blue and let Republicans know there’s a price for racism!
