WSDCC Wrap-up September 9, 2022

Posted on September 9, 2022

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Since the rise of Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans, we’ve seen a surge in extremism and political violence — both leading up to and in the aftermath of the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection. 

In early July, a man with a pistol showed up outside Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal’s Seattle home, making threats and yelling racist expletives at her. When police arrested him, they found the gun on his hip, with a round in the chamber. She bravely recounted this recent experience to The Washington Post, and in the piece, she said the incident triggered many of the same emotions she felt while trapped on the balcony of the House gallery, as rioters stormed the Capitol last year. 

“I’m sharing this because we can’t be silent in the face of rising violence,” the congresswoman tweeted Thursday with a link to the article. “These aren’t isolated incidents. From the Big Lie to Jan. 6 to an armed man at my door, too much is at stake.”

At the state party, we support Rep. Jayapal, and stand alongside her in working to combat the racist vitriol and violence, which has been unleashed and “normalized” by MAGA Republicans.

Blatant disregard for the rule of law seems to be a key pillar of the GOP’s platform now, as we continue to see more and more public officials unmasked as extremists with ties to anti-government militia groups like the Oath Keepers. In a recent report from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, 81 individuals were identified across the country who, as of Aug. 8, are currently holding or running for public office in 2022 — three were in Washington. In total, 1,098 people are signed up as Oath Keepers in the state, including seven people who work in law enforcement, eight in the military, and four first responders.

Even a single person presents a serious threat to our democracy whether they are in office or one of these professions. And yet, neither the state or national Republican parties have condemned any members linked to the Oath Keepers or the extremist organization in its entirety.

In fact, we are seeing a trend in the Evergreen State and nationwide with MAGA Republicans attempting to hide their extremist beliefs from voters right now. Why? Because they know they are completely out of touch with a majority of Americans on the issues that matter most.

Tiffany Smiley is a prime example. She recently was caught scrubbing a section from her website saying she had “serious questions about the integrity of our elections.” She also is trying to backtrack on abortion and claim she opposes a federal ban, but yet calls herself “100% pro-life,” endorsed Texas’s extreme, near-total abortion ban, and celebrated the fall of Roe v. Wade. 

And then there’s Matt Larkin who won’t say whether he believes President Joe Biden’s win over Trump was legitimate —  something Smiley won’t do either.

Even Trump’s chosen candidate, Joe Kent, is trying to paint himself as a less extreme extremist, despite having connections  to a number of white nationalists, like Nick Fuentes, Patriot Prayer’s Joey Gibson, and Oath Keeper and Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rodgers, and publicly making statements in support of “a white people special interest group,” as well as ending virtually all immigration in the U.S.

MAGA Republicans like Smiley, Kent and Larkin can’t even be trusted to tell the truth. How could they be trusted to  represent the people of Washington state in office? They can’t.

As Democrats, we will never waver on our values, nor our commitment to pushing back against extremism. We know there is so much at stake this election year, which is why we are working round the clock to get out the vote throughout the state to help our incredible candidates cross the finish line in November. Your support is critical to that mission. Consider signing up for one of our many volunteer opportunities found below, or investing in our efforts by making a donation HERE today. 

The work to stop MAGA extremism is happening now — join us!

WORKING FOR WASHINGTON

This week, the Democratic National Committee held its summer meeting in Maryland. There, our DNC delegation — Chair Tina Podlodowski, Vice Chair David Green, Rep. Javier Valdez, Sharon Mast, and David McDonald — helped advocate not only for our own state party, but state parties everywhere, stressing the need for additional funding to aid 24/7 mobilization efforts and grassroots organizing. Did you know less than 8% of the DNC’s budget goes back to state parties? As the backbone of the Democratic Party, state organizations are responsible for building the political infrastructure needed to get Democrats elected at every level of government, so we can turn our Democratic values into public policy that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives. 

At the meeting, our hard-working DNC delegation also had the chance to hear from President Joe Biden, who spoke on the importance of state parties and the work being done nationwide to protect and expand our Democratic majorities, enabling us to continue passing historic legislation moving our country forward. Listen to a portion of the president’s speech HERE.

Messaging for the Midterms: Messaging GOTV | 5 p.m. Oct. 3

Benton County WA Democrats
Mike Lindell Declares Victory After Crushing Trial DefeatStory by Nikki McCann Ramirez and Asawin Suebsaeng, Rolling StoneOn Monday evening, MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell texted Rolling Stone: "Awesome win! MyPillow 100% innocent!!!!"It was an odd moment to be taking a victory lap. Moments earlier, a jury ruled that Lindell had defamed a former Dominion Voting Systems executive named Eric Coomer on two occasions, including by calling him a traitor, and ordered Lindell to fork over $2.3 million in damages. Why was Lindell reveling in supposed victory? Presumably because the jury damages awarded to Coomer were significantly less than the $26.7 million sought by his attorneys.In his text to Rolling Stone, Lindell added that he planned to appeal the ruling, declaring: "My fight to get rid of the machines will continue on stronger than ever!"As previously reported by Rolling Stone, Lindell had seemed almost giddy to make his case in court ahead of the trial. "Of course I'm gonna testify at my own trial!" he said earlier this month. "I have nothing to hide. I am a former crack addict; I've always been open about that. I've always been open about everything! I'm as transparent as they come." Lindell did testify in his own defense, telling the jury that he didn't knowingly defame Coomer when he accused the Dominion director of being a traitor, while boosting wild conspiracy theories insinuating that Coomer had been involved in efforts by his employer to rig the 2020 election against President Donald Trump. (There is no evidence of any such plot.)While Lindell may be celebrating only being slapped with a seven figure damages penalty in this case, Coomer's lawsuit is the first in a series of defamation claims against the MAGA pillow magnate, related to his claims about the 2020 election. Lindell has also been sued directly by Dominion and by Smartmatic, another election hardware and software company about which Lindell made wild claims.Dominion is seeking $1.3 billion in damages from Lindell, Smartmatic has left the amount up to the judge. But it's safe to say that Lindell is nowhere close to being out of the woods. ... See MoreSee Less

We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

    In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies.

    The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

    On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.

    A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
