Read our privacy policy A fundraising email blast from the chief political action committees supporting Donald Trump shared a troubling new message: “haul out the guillotine.” The email went on to blast “sicko” Kathy Griffin for her 2017 image holding a mock-severed Trump head and instead accused his Democratic rivals of wanting to behead him. SICK SICK SICK!” Over the past two weeks, between messages saying “I love you” and inviting supporters to dinner, emails “signed” by Trump and sent by the joint fundraising committee supporting his presidential campaign have repeatedly mentioned “revenge” and “war” and proudly labeled him a “political prisoner” who doesn’t mind going to jail. Moments after a Manhattan jury found the former president guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on May 30, the fundraising campaign blasted out a message saying “I was just convicted in a rigged trial!” while noting that “my end-of-month fundraising deadline is just DAYS AWAY!” Over the next two weeks, the campaign sent out more than 30 other messages about the conviction. While Trump’s allies have criticized Democratic rivals for labeling him a “convicted felon” in campaign messages, Trump’s own fundraising campaign called him a convicted felon in its first message in June.
