In one extraordinary hour on Tuesday afternoon, a federal jury convicted Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, on eight counts of tax fraud and bank fraud while, at the very same time, Trump’s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to eight counts of tax fraud, bank fraud, and campaign finance fraud.
We already knew the Republican Party was suffering from deep rot. These convictions of Trump’s most influential associates show that the corruption has sunk all the way to the GOP’s core and lodged itself there.
This November, we need to give them the boot—all of them. In the Senate, the House, governorships, legislatures, and every other office across the land, we’ve got to send Republicans packing and elect Democrats who will hold Trump and his enablers accountable.
Republican politicians have shown they just don’t care how crooked their own party is, and they’ll do anything to abet the man at the very top, where the stench is strongest. But the rest of us? We care—and we’re ready to disinfect that reek.
Please give whatever you can right now to help elect Democrats at all levels to clean out the GOP’s pervasive corruption.
