[Trump & Harris]( “Viktor Orbán, one of the most respected men, they call him a strongman, prime minister of Hungary… they said why is the whole world blowing up? Why is it blowing up? He said because ‘you need Trump as President. They were afraid of him… China was afraid of him. North Korea was afraid of him. Russia was afraid of him…’ Viktor Orbán said it. He said ‘the most respected, most feared person is Donald Trump. We had no problems when Trump was President.’” Let’s clarify a few things, {NAME}. The “strongman” who Donald Trump is quoting on the debate stage? The ultra-conservative prime minister of Hungary who has rolled back human rights, eviscerated their democracy, limited the freedoms of the press, and cozied up to Russia. Not exactly someone that a candidate for the United States President should be showcasing as a character reference. There’s a reason why Orbán, Vladimir Putin, and other autocratic leaders around the world are rooting for Trump to take back the White House: Donald Trump is the greatest threat to democracy — and I’m not just talking about here in the United States. As Vice President Kamala Harris said on the debate stage, “Those dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again because they’re so clear they can manipulate you with flattery and favors.” Worldwide, democratic countries are terrified of the prospect of a second Trump presidency. And we should be. During his time in the White House, Trump cozied up to Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin. He exchanged love letters with the dictator of North Korea, and he has a warmer relationship with Kim Jong-un than the Canadian Prime Minister. He even threatened to abandon our NATO allies if there was an attack in Europe. Don’t forget, he extorted Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an effort to get him to smear President Biden — by withholding military aid for their war against Russia. That led to Trump’s first impeachment — where I investigated him and served as lead impeachment manager in his Senate trial. While President Biden and Vice President Harris have worked to restore our country’s standing with our allies, Trump would be like a bull in a china shop on the global stage — much to the delight of autocratic leaders worldwide. I have stood up against authoritarianism and in support of democracy for my entire career. From my chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee to leading Trump’s impeachment, to serving on the January 6 Select Committee, I have always put my oath of office and the Constitution first. That’s what this campaign is about — protecting our democracy and building an economy that works for everyone. Bringing truth to light and ensuring autocratic leaders who claim they alone can fix our problems never serve as president. [If you’re with me, today is an important day to show your support.
