Voter Intimidation: It’s a Democrat thing

But...but . . . he said that he just wanted to "start a conversation".

"Taking a page out of the Klan’s voter intimidation playbook, a United States Congressman tweeted out a list of San Antonio citizens who committed the unpardonable sin of donating the maximum to President Trump’s reelection campaign.  

"Joaquin Castro, chairman of his brother’s Presidential campaign, wrote in his accompanying tweet:
Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of ‪[deleted by Dianny], owner of the [deleted by Dianny], realtor [deleted by Dianny], etc.
Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’
"The Democrat Party’s election strategy is the same today as it was a century ago: Voter Intimidation.
"What other possible reason would there be for publicizing on social media the names and employers of campaign contributors?
"What Joaquin Castro did is the social media equivalent of dragging them into the town square, shaving their heads and letting a frothing crowd taunt and harass them. And if the Democrats’ foot soldiers show up at their homes and threaten them, all the better, right? Sure, they’re not burning crosses on their front lawns anymore. Now they’ll just vandalize their property while banging on their doors and screaming threats.
"But this isn’t just voter intimidation targeting those specific donors. It has a broader objective as well." . . .

So will Joaquin Castro return all those donations he took from the Trump donors he doxxed?  . . . Anyone who believes that Castro is capable of a 'lament' is out to lunch. His series of tweets were pure malevolence, worsened by a barrage of bald-faced lies trying to make himself look like the good guy.
"It all went so swimmingly for him, too. Until Fox News turned up an uncomfortable fact:" . . .

Joaquin Castro Accidentally Outs One of His Own Donors While Shaming Trump Supporters  . . . “ 'People should not be personally targeted for their political views, period,” [House minority leader Steve] Scalise said. “This isn’t a game. It’s dangerous, and lives are at stake. I know this firsthand.' ” . . .

Yeah, in this great country of ours, you can support both Democrats in once cycle and Republicans in the next, which makes this move by Joaquin even more idiotic.
. . . "He quasi-doxxed his own supporters (via Fox News): . . ."
Maybe Trump should imitate Joaquin Castro  . . . "President Trump should release the names of every Democrat who accepted a campaign contribution from him.  In fact, there are quite a few on the list and some are calling him a "racist" today:    
Kamala Harris received money from Donald Trump as recently as six years ago. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner hosted a Park Avenue fundraiser for Cory Booker. Kirsten Gillibrand took in Trump family donations three times across a seven-year period -- and then gave a similar amount of money to a nonprofit years later after the president mocked her in a tweet.
As the president gears up for his re-election fight, donor records show that six of the declared or potential Democrats itching to take him on have themselves been the beneficiaries of his -- or his daughter’s -- largesse.
. . . "However, he should point out that these Democrats never returned his money.  This is especially true given the calls that he is a racist or been associated with white [supremacists] over the years." . . .
