In a surprise to no one, Peter, Donald Trump attacked me in a bizarre hour-long interview with Dr. Phil.

Before I share what he said about me, I need to underscore this:

Donald Trump poses a unique and dangerous threat to our democracy. We are at risk of seeing a convicted felon, who has no regard for the rule of law, elected as President of the United States — a position from which he could do unspeakable damage to our democracy here at home, and democracies around the world.

Help me defeat him once and for all. Chip in a split donation between NV Dems and my campaign of $20 today.

In an hour-long softball interview with Dr. Phil, Trump attacked the judge in the New York trial, President Biden, and the jury of 12 Americans who unanimously ruled he was guilty of 34 felony counts. He came after me as well.

“I call him watermelon head. He’s got the thinnest neck I’ve ever seen. Very unattractive guy, both inside and outside. These are bad people.”

Joseph, trust me — I’ve been called a lot worse by Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies.

What concerns me far more is how Trump, in this very interview and numerous other recent campaign events, has explicitly called for revenge against his political rivals. Rivals like me. Like his call to prosecute me and other members of the January 6 Committee.

God forbid Trump makes it back to the White House, he will use his powers to seek retribution against the people who have held him accountable for his crimes and disgraceful behavior. Including me.

He tried to do this during his first term, and he lashed out at his former attorney general for not going after rivals with baseless investigations and lawsuits. But if he’s president for a second time, he’ll only appoint cabinet officials who do exactly what he wants.

Donald Trump has promised to be a dictator on day one. He admires leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. That’s the risk he poses to our country.

While the attacks start with schoolyard names like “watermelon head,” they will only escalate from here, Peter. We need to do everything we can to make sure Donald Trump does not take back the White House. Please pitch in a split contribution between NV Dems and my campaign to support Democrats and to continue holding Trump to account. It’s vitally important.

Thank you for your support. While I could spend some time coming up with jokes about the orange man calling me watermelon head, I’m instead going to focus on holding him to account and protecting our democracy.
