Today’s Action: Tell the Department of Justice to punish Trump and his fans for threatening Jan 6 witnesses!
In the weeks since Cassidy Hutchinson’s brave testimony before the January 6th committee, she has been barraged with vicious death threats and harassment from rabid Trump fans (including quite a few Republicans in office.) She's been sequestered with her family and a security detail ever since, a testament to just how eager Trump World is to use political violence to silence critics and protect their criminal leader.
Everyone and anyone who speaks out against Trump can expect to be flooded with death threats and hateful, vile harassment — often egged on by Trump himself. It’s unacceptable, and now it is even interfering with a critical investigation.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger refused to help Trump "find votes," so Trump fans tormented his wife with horrifying, sexualized messages and broke into the home of his son's widow. Arizona House Speaker Russell "Rusty" Bowers had protestors outside his house with weapons, playing videos calling him a pedophile. Election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye "Shaye" Moss had their lives upended by harassment and threats.
Ordinary people shouldn't have to live in fear from a would-be despot simply for doing the right thing. Enough is enough.
PS — Please consider a small monthly contribution of as little as $5 to help us elect Democrats and fight back against the Trump-Republican agenda. We can't do it without you. Keep fighting the good fight!
