Joaquin Castro’s Donor Hit List Backfires, Supporters Donate $1 Million for Trump, part of $12 mil fundraising day

Unexpectedly.

[BREITBART] Rep. Joaquin Castro’s (D-TX) donor hit list appears to have backfired, with Trump supporters reportedly donating over $1 million to the president’s re-election campaign following Castro’s decision to publicly shame the Texas donors on Twitter.

R. H. Bowman ‐ one of the individuals publicly shamed by the Texas politician for donating the maximum amount to Trump’s re-election campaign ‐ told the Washington Examiner Friday that Castro’s efforts inspired others to donate to Trump’s re-election campaign, resulting in about $1 million raised for the president.

"My phone’s been lit up for two days with calls from many of the Texas 44 and others of our friends here in Texas who are outraged by Castro’s comments," Bowman said, according to the Examiner.

He continued:

It looks like another million dollars is now headed to support the Trump 2020 campaign from those of us who were targeted, and other Texans, including Hispanics, incidentally, whose resolve to support [the president] is only strengthened by this personal attack.

@realDonaldTrump raised $12M today, $2M more than originally expected
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Thanks to the unhinged mob on the left, @realDonaldTrump raised $12M today, $2M more than originally expected.

The support for our President is unprecedented and growing!

#6 They don't get it. Trump supporters can't be shamed, they can't be intimidated. Any attempt will result in more outreach of support of Trump and those that the attempts targeted.

You morons will lose. You. Will. Lose.

#7 In other words, they're not backing down. That's an alarm sounding that you are reaching the tipping point. Continue to double down, demonize, and threaten will only result in a civil war you can not extricate yourself from.
