- The divide among Democrats and Republicans – and intra-party feuds – is being underscored by what appears to be an increasing number of fundraising messages in which members of Congress ask for help because they are under “attack.”
- Friends of Matt Gaetz, a political action committee for the Florida Republican congressman sent an email Thursday with the headline “I’m under attack,” featuring the highlighted message: “I was ATTACKED and BOOED by RINOs for asking you to weigh in and contribute to this fight.”
- Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz said in a fundraising letter late last month: “I am under constant attack.”
