The lies at the RNC

I wrote this fundraising email in the wake of the 2020 Republican National Convention.

I don't blame you if you're skipping the Republican National Convention this week. CNN called its first night a "parade of dishonesty." The Washington Post called it a "fire hose" of false or misleading claims. The New York Times described it as a "fierce and misleading defense" of Trump's record.

Here's the truth: the lies are a distraction. The Republican Party did not even bother to pass a new platform in 2020, because they have turned into 100% the party of Trump. And since Trump has no plan for his second term, this week has turned into a convention of falsehoods.

We won't let the Republican Party's lies distract us from the work at hand. Pitch in what you can now to make sure our campaign has the resources it needs to achieve the highest turnout possible in November.

We have everything we need right here in Miami-Dade County to flip Florida blue and end this Trump presidency. We have enough voters, we have enough volunteers, and we have enough energy to make this happen. We showed that was true in August. Let's double down on that energy for November.

Yours in the fight,

Steve Simeonidis
Chair, Miami-Dade Democratic Party
