I'd like to draw your attention to some posts by the current Republican leader.

HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO??? I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic “entertainers,” this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!

According to news reports, Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000 to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off to loud booing for never having performed, NOT EVEN ONE SONG! Remember, the Democrats and Kamala illegally paid her millions of Dollars for doing nothing other than giving Kamala a full throated ENDORSEMENT. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!
In addition to these threatening posts, your leader posted a video of himself hitting a golf ball seemingly hitting Bruce Springsteen.
Please brush up on first amendment rights. This is yet another example of this president retaliating against those who hurt his feelings.
America needs a strong leader with thick skin and a lot less corruption.
When will you uphold our 1A constitutional rights.
Give me an example of a healthy democracy where the leader of the country threatens artists with investigations because they endorsed their Opposition or have taken a stance that's against them?
Threatening artists, threatening journalists and news sources, threatening, arresting, kidnapping by masked ICE agents, and deporting students...
This President is purposely scaring the public, trying to silence his opposition.
It's been so effective I worry to write to you expressing my opposition. I half expect the FBI to show up at my door any day now.
You can belittle me and call me hysterical. But you're still allowing and stoking the fears of a significant portion of the population who oppose this President, silencing them from using their First Amendment rights.
Is that OK?
