Story highlights

It reveals that his campaign sees at least some political upside to the Russia inquiry
The colorful blast is intended to build the President's email list

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's message to his small-dollar donors Thursday? Democrats are crazed.


"After their BILLION-DOLLAR election loss, all Democrats have done is OBSTRUCT President Trump and maniacally scream the word "RUSSIA" until they're blue in the face," reads a new email to supporters from one of Trump's fundraising committees.



The email comes as Trump called for unity following the shooting at a GOP congressional baseball practice Wednesday.

"Democrats had no problem rigging their primary against Bernie Sanders and his supporters," the email continues, "and now they're choosing to strip the Silent Majority of their new-found voice in our country."

I wonder how much in small donations he rakes in these days.

Seriously, this needs to stop. Does he REALLY think that is appropriate considering that yesterday's shooter was (ostensibly) a Bernie Sanders supporter?

This makes me feel ill.

Donald Trump used the night Hillary Clinton claimed the Democratic nomination to encourage crushed Bernie Sanders fans to vote Trump.

“For all of those Bernie Sanders voters who will be left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms,” Trump said on Tuesday at Trump National Golf Club Westchester in New York.

Superdelegates have never come into play anyway, but to keep flogging this nonsense in the wake of this shooting is really despicable.

And re-read it with the knowledge that we will have garnered from a very real legal investigation.

To us, his guilt is obvious. To others, it isn't.

We read this statement and guffaw. They read this statement and take him at his word.

The truth isn't revealed until justice is served. And make no mistake, justice will be served.

This statement will be added to the litany of tweets and obfuscations uttered by the likes of Newt Gingrich, Kelly Anne Conway, Sean Spicer, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The public will realize that they were being lied to, disrespected and manipulated. The press will have to deal with the fallout of having reported this nonsense with the same relevance as the corroborated reports coming from the NYT and WaPo.

Sad that so many people will allow themselves to be so easily duped. They may have as many votes as I do in an election, but I pity their ignorance.
