As Project 2025 Chief Calls For “Second American Revolution,” Rob Mercuri Falls Silent

Last week, the president of the Heritage Foundation – the far-right think tank infamous for unveiling a treatise designed to dramatically destroy the United States federal government – proudly referred to a “Second American Revolution” that could be “bloodless if ‘the left’ allows it to be.”

Rob Mercuri – who has stood behind Donald Trump – has refused to speak out against this violent rhetoric.

Even worse, Mercuri has fallen silent on Donald Trump’s co-called “Project 2025” manifesto that would:

• Advocate for a nationwide abortion and mifepristone ban

• Restrict access to birth control and contraception.

• Silence or attack Trump’s political enemies.

• Defund law enforcement.

• Raise costs for the middle class. 

• Give a massive tax cut for the ultra wealthy.

• Make prescription drugs more expensive for working families.

• Threaten health care coverage for millions of Americans.

• Privatize Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“By refusing to condemn these far-right pledges from the Heritage Foundation and Donald Trump, Rob Mercuri is joining extreme actors to force the American public to accept their violent agenda. This is not normal. He should be disqualified for allowing this rhetoric to be common-place in our politics.”
