The Moral Dilemma Over Working For Donald Trump

A Twitter message from Donald Trump encouraging people to come to the capital to protest on Jan. 6, 2021, is shown on a screen as the House select committee holds a July 2022 hearing on the attack on the U.S. Capitol. “Everyone on the campaign is committed to President Trump and the movement he has built,” he said, adding, “If you’re referring to Jan. 6, President Trump said ‘peacefully and patriotically’ in his speech, yet media outlets and the Jan. 6 ‘unselect committee’ despicably have cut that part out in their footage.” While ‘peacefully’ was in Trump’s speech that day, when Congress was certifying the Electoral College count, he also urged his followers to “fight like hell” and warned that they would lose their country if they did not. “The 2020 election was stolen, and only more evidence has come out proving that to be true,” said Harrington, who over the last two years made $126,431 from Save America and, since Trump’s announcement in November that he would run in 2024, $16,875 from his campaign, according to a HuffPost analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. And two, he is a danger to representative democracy in this country.”” - Mac Stipanovich, Republican political strategist Also on staff are Stephen Miller, a former top aide to Trump in the White House who on the day the Electoral College met on Dec. 14 boasted in a television interview that Trump’s campaign was working to produce “alternate” slates of electors for use on Jan. 6, as well as two of his staff in the White House speechwriting office: Ross Worthington and Vincent Haley. “The thing that absolutely makes my blood boil is the class of consultants who will tell you that they and their firms draw the line at working for Trump, yet they happily gobble up contracts from the Republican National Committee, 501 vehicles, PACs doing independent expenditures around turnout that would drive votes at the presidential level, and any and all committees,” said Lucy Caldwell, who ran former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh’s quixotic primary challenge to Trump in 2020.
