GOP fundraising appeal highlights historic anti-Trump bias in the media.
“Low-life journalists” are attacking Donald Trump every day, according to a new fundraising letter from the Republican National Committee.
Highlighting the historic bias of the mainstream media against Trump and capitalizing on journalists’ record-low approval ratings with the public, the letter reads: “Low-life journalists are attacking us every day. You know the liberal media is distorting Donald Trump and all our candidates’ words.”
The letter was sent to a Florida woman who had pledged money to the RNC. Reince Priebus, RNC chair, clearly thinks the media interference with the GOP’s message could fuel contributions from Republican donors.
“We need to educate voters on our plan to get Americans back to work, get our trade deals back in our favor, and finally fix our borders,” the letter reads.
The attack on the media comes as the press continues to obsess about Trump’s nearly twenty year-old comments in relation to Alicia Machado, the Miss Universe from 1997.
