Trump campaign asks supporters for donations by sending fearmongering 'ANTIFA ALERT' text warning 'they’ll attack your homes' if Biden wins
President Donald Trump’s campaign warned in a wild, over-the-top text to voters Saturday that antifa will “attack your homes” unless they send money to help Trump win the election.
That message was fired off just days after it was revealed in journalist Bob’s Woodward’s book “Rage” that Trump lied about the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak because he claimed he “didn’t want to create a panic.” He told Sean Hannity earlier this week: “I can’t be jumping up and down and scaring people.”
That message was jarringly out of sync with the Trump campaign warning. It warned: “ANTIFA ALERT: They’ll attack your homes if Joe’s elected. Pres Trump needs you to become a Diamond Club Member. Your name is MISSING. Donate.” The warning is pure fantasy. There is absolutely no evidence that such an attack will occur. — John Sipher September 13, 2020This article originally appeared on HuffPost and has been updated.
