I am writing to express my profound alarm and disgust regarding a recent incident that fundamentally degrades the standards of public office and political discourse in our nation.
I am referring to the AI-generated video shared on President Donald Trump’s official Truth Social account. The video, which depicts the former President flying a plane labeled "King Trump" and dropping what appears to be feces onto American citizens engaged in peaceful protest, is not merely inappropriate—it is a grotesque and dangerous act of digital abuse.
This is a complete debasement of the seriousness required for political leadership. It is one thing for an anonymous internet user to create such content; it is an entirely different matter when a former President, currently running for office, downloads and shares this puerile, vile, and insulting material from his official platform. Such an act normalizes the use of grotesque imagery to dehumanize and mock citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.
As my elected representative, I urge you to take a clear, public stance:
1. Condemn the Behavior: Will you publicly condemn the sharing of this AI-generated video and its use of vulgarity and visual threats to attack peaceful American citizens?
2. Uphold the Standards of Office: What actions will you take, within your capacity in Congress, to reinforce the necessity of dignified and responsible conduct from high-level political figures, regardless of party affiliation or office?
A core function of leadership is to model respect for democratic institutions and the civil rights of all citizens. This incident falls so far below that essential standard that it requires immediate and specific condemnation from you.
I await your substantive response detailing your position and planned actions regarding this matter.
