An Open Letter

To: Rep. Moore, Sen. Johnson, Sen. Baldwin

From: A constituent in Milwaukee, WI

October 6

🚨 BREAKING: YES, TRUMP REALLY SAID THIS TONIGHT, and the furious backlash was IMMEDIATE. This is not satire. It’s not AI. It’s not a doctored quote or something “taken out of context.” Speaking at his rally in Grand Island, Nebraska tonight, Donald Trump actually said about Iran: "They can take out a city. Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.” And incredibly, people in the crowd CHEERED. Video of the moment exists, and multiple news organizations have now reported and verified the remarks. The backlash was immediate — and furious. California Governor Gavin Newsom responded that Trump was saying foreign enemies should “take out” two American cities, calling him “deranged and dangerous.” San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria fired back: “San Diego is not collateral damage. We are not expendable. And we are never a ‘small price to pay.’” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called Trump’s comments “dangerous,” adding: “The role of a president is to protect the country, not to actively threaten it and encourage attacks on American lives.” Senator Alex Padilla accused Trump of “inviting an attack on U.S. soil” and asked: “What kind of Commander in Chief does that?” Rep. Sara Jacobs, whose district includes parts of San Diego, declared that her constituents — including active-duty service members, veterans and their families — “are not acceptable collateral damage.” Journalist Jim Acosta was even more blunt: “WTF. This is not normal.” Wow. These are the ACTUAL words spoken by the sitting President of the United States about two American cities containing millions of Americans. Let that sink in. 25th AMENDMENT NOW!
