Openly provoking a foreign adversary to kill millions of Americans is completely unhinged and reckless. Donald Trump is the most dangerous and corrupt president in our nation’s history. The stakes are too high to send him another yes vote from Minnesota.

For the first time, Amnesty calls for dismantling a US agency. For decades, Amnesty International has worked around the world to protect human rights. The GOP will demonize Amnesty, keeping MAGA ignorant, but for those of us familiar, it’s shocking to see them have to protect Americans from our gov.
