Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend. I received this e-mail today from former Governor Ted Strickland’s (D. OH) U.S. Senate campaign:

Ted Strickland (D. OH)

WOW. Donald Trump just can’t stop himself from using the worst kind of hateful, divisive rhetoric.

THIS WEEKEND

Donald Trump posted an anti-Semitic tweet and refuses to apologize.

“Donald Trump’s Star of David Tweet Came From a Fringe Website, a Report Says.”
- New York Times, 7/03/2016

LAST MONTH

Rob Portman’s GOP friends like Governor Kasich and Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois refuse to support Trump.

"John Kasich And Other Republicans Won’t Endorse Donald Trump.”
- Time, 6/17/2016

From attacking a Federal Judge based on his heritage, to blatant anti-Semitism, and rampant sexism, the fact that Donald Trump is the GOP’s standard-bearer is truly scary.

But what’s even scarier? The fact that Rob Portman refuses to follow the lead of Governor Kasich and Senator Mark Kirk and retract his endorsement of Donald Trump. In fact, Rob Portman has actually doubled down on his endorsement. With just weeks before the GOP Convention in Ohio, we need to put the pressure on Rob Portman to do the right thing and retract his endorsement of Trump today.

Rob Portman, you’re up: Retract your endorsement of Donald Trump immediately.

We need 10,000-strong calling on Portman to retract his endorsement of Donald Trump. Click here to add your name >>

Senator Portman’s decision to double down on his support of Trump, especially now, is the clearest sign yet that he’s the ultimate Washington insider -- more interested in standing with his party than with the people of Ohio.

We are in a time when every American, and especially our elected leaders, must stand together to forcefully oppose attacks that threaten the very foundation of our country’s values. Thank you for adding your voice to this fight.
