To: The Republican party
Tell the Republican Party: We're holding you accountable for Trump's rise on Election Day
The Republican Party created Donald Trump by stoking fear and elevating hate. They don't get to back away from him now. He is the candidate they chose to represent their party, whether they like it or not, and the American voters are going to hold them accountable for that on Election Day!
Why is this important?
"Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."—Donald Trump, 20051
In the wake of this audio released on Friday, most prominent Republican leaders have expressed their shock at Trump's words, many of them have gone so far as to call for him to step aside.
But the fact of the matter is that the Republican party created Trump. They elevated and supported him as he made countless other vile statements. And now, they don't get to un-tangle themselves from him because they've finally figured out that he's unfit to lead our country.
This is not the first time Trump has made appaling comments about other individuals and groups of people, but apparently for many Republican leaders, this was the breaking point. But, with less than a month to go until the election, it's too little, too late.
When it comes to Trump, his candidacy is squarely on the shoulders of the Republican party. And you better believe that we'll hold each and every Republican who perpetuated his rise accountable on Election Day.
