Trump campaign: Rep. Joaquin Castro inciting violence by publicizing donors

[left-of-center2012]

Rep Joaquin Castro (D-TX) joined a chorus of Democrats who seized on Trump's rhetoric in the aftermath of the El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, shootings, which have left 31 people dead. He also pointed a finger at Trump’s campaign contributors, listing the names and employers of 44 people from San Antonio described as “maximum donors,” to the Trump campaign.

“Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders,’” the congressman wrote.
Rep. Joaquin Castro is the twin brother of Democratic presidential hopeful Julián Castro.

President Donald Trump’s campaign, under fire for depictions of Latin American immigrants that were apparently appropriated by the accused mass shooter in El Paso, Texas, blasted back at Rep. Joaquin Castro on Tuesday for posting some names of the president’s campaign contributors on Twitter.

“Democrats want to talk about inciting violence? This naming of private citizens and their employers is reckless and irresponsible,” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement. “He is endangering the safety of people he is supposed to be representing.”

5. Campaign contributions are public information.

If people are afraid of having the public know of their political campaign contributions then they shouldn't make political campaign contributions.
