If we uncovered some really embarrassing information about JD Vance, would you like to see it?
In 2017, JD Vance wrote what can only be described as a love letter to Barack Obama called “Barack Obama and Me.” 🧵
In it, he writes
“It is one of the great failures of recent political history that the Republican Party was too often unable to disconnect legitimate political disagreements from the fact that the president himself is an admirable man…
For at a pivotal time in my life, Barack Obama gave me hope that a boy who grew up like me could still achieve the most important of my dreams. For that, I’ll miss him, and the example he set.” 🧵
Today I talked to former Nikki Haley voters. What they told me will fill you with hope.
Nikki Haley’s endorsement of Donald Trump raised eyebrows, especially since she spent almost a year talking about how he’s wholly unqualified.
As a lawyer, I believe endorsements should reflect a candidate’s commitment to justice, the rule of law, transparency, and upholding our democratic principles. Haley’s decision completely contradicts these values and has been a tremendous disappointment for her supporters.
While the news of her endorsement of Donald Trump showed her true colors, you’ll see by the end of this Tweet that her vote is exactly that – just one vote. Because the “Haley voters” I talked to aren’t buying it.
I used the Call to Activism Facebook page to reach out to Haley voters, and I was overwhelmed by their unified message: Haley betrayed them, and they will NOT vote for Trump.
What her supporters told me:
Rebecca D. from Michigan:
Rebecca says she will be voting for President Biden in 2024:
“Just proves (Nikki Haley) is another politician that puts party over country and therefore isn’t fit to hold any public office. And I voted for her. 😔”
Diane B. from Illinois:
“Terribly disappointed! Nikki Haley has lost all her integrity and credibility. Where is her character? Politics has gone down the tube, you just can’t trust anyone anymore. I will not vote for her and I want my money back that I gave to her campaign, the only one I trusted, that I ever gave to a campaign fund. I got fooled and swindled. She’s no better than Trump.”
What this means for you and me
While it seems like we are constantly inundated with bad news after bad news in the media, I am setting out to highlight the kinds of stories that give us the most hope.
Haley voters made it abundantly clear they are dissatisfied with Trump as the Republican nominee. So we can work to reach them, especially in swing states.
Call to Activism was started the day of the Trump organization to counter his lies and help make sure no one like him would ever step foot in the White House ever again.
Since then we’ve grown a million strong on Facebook, and then a million strong on Twitter. Now we are setting out to reach those who can make the biggest difference in 2024 with our newsletter. 👇
Conservatives are completely losing their minds after it was revealed Fox News has been making charitable donations to Planned Parenthood and the Satanic Temple.
The reason is pretty hilarious. 🧵1/5
