Tonight, President Trump once again used his platform to undermine Americans’ faith in our democracy to serve his own political interests. Connecticut’s elections have been and will continue to be safe, secure, and accessible — and I will not let the President’s conspiracy theories intimidate our voters or weaken their constitutional right to have their voice heard.

Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops. These are sick, corrupt people.
