Adam is already facing intense attacks during the first month of an election year. This year has yet to fully ramp up, so this is only a sign of what's to come as we near the midterms.
Kevin McCarthy, who will become the Republican Party’s Speaker of the House if they take back Congress, threatened in an exclusive interview with the far-right publication Breitbart to remove Adam from his committee assignments if the GOP wins the midterms. Then the very next week, McCarthy went and raised $9.5 million at a Trump Hotel Washington fundraiser with over 50 corporate PACs and the NRCC. The minimum donation? $100,000. So much for corporations refusing to support those who tried to overturn the election.
Additionally, Sean Hannity and other Fox News hosts are attacking Adam virtually every day on their cable “news” shows, beaming into the homes of millions of their viewers, and for what? Standing up to Donald Trump and calling out the GOP’s attacks on our democracy.
And just last week, McCarthy tried to blame Adam for Russia amassing troops on the border of Ukraine for a potential attack. He has also blamed Adam for the pandemic. Seriously. It’s just truly bizarre stuff.
It seems the more Adam condemns the egregious actions of the GOP and their cult leader, Donald Trump, the more the attacks and insults are intensifying against him.
Adam’s more committed than ever to stand up to McCarthy, Donald Trump, and their craven enablers in Congress even if it means enduring countless attacks. The firestorm of threats and insults definitely takes a toll, but he believes it’s a small price to pay if it means upholding justice and our democracy.
One of the ways Adam stays grounded is by focusing on the incredible support of this grassroots team. Knowing that there are millions of Americans who share his values and believe our country deserves better strengthens Adam’s resolve and fuels his work.
Adam always says his work in Congress and his ability to support Democrats across the country is all because of you. He doesn’t take $100,000 checks from corporate PACs like Kevin McCarthy — this campaign is funded one $3, $10, or $25 donation at a time.
Will you stand with Adam and show him you have his back by making a $10 donation right now? Your grassroots support means so much to him.
Thank you for being on our team. Whether it’s simply opening this email or chipping in, we’re so appreciative you’re here. — Team Schiff |
