Current Rep. Walsh — good lord, man! Your desperation to separate “Don-old” Trump from Project 2025 is shockingly pathetic, even for you. One hundred-forty Project 2025 authors are former Trump administration officials. J.D. Vance is very closely connected to Kevin Roberts and The Heritage Foundation. MAGA Trumpism is Project 2025.

And unless you’re now going to twist your moral fiber into an even tighter knot, and derisively dismiss Forbes and Vox for liberal rags, as you’re fond of saying, “get ratioed!”

Why are you now brazenly lying to your constituents? Barking MAGA platitudes and dog-whistling about immigrants and transgenderism is much more your forte. You’re also very good at conspicuously avoiding the subject of former Aberdeen City Councilman Riley Carter. So much for protecting children from predators.

Stick to what you do best, Jim — grifting the hearts and minds of the suckers who eat up your demagoguery. Or better yet, hang it up. Retire now, and move home to Florida and wonder why your children never call. I can only assume the fine print of selling your soul to Trump requires you to parrot and promulgate the deranged whims and delusions of a sick old man who knows the jig is up. Undoubtedly, the commands to disseminate his insane rhetoric are only going to increase the closer we get to November. Are you really going down with him? Sad!

Your current constituent,

TOM SAMUELS
