Scarier Scenario: Katko’s approval of Trump’s dangerous rhetoric, Trump with the nuclear codes
While Congressman Katko’s DC allies are laughably try to scare voters with gimmicks and explosions, the scarier scenario is that Katko was perfectly fine with Trump near the nuclear codes.
While Trump bragged that he “love[ed] war in a certain way,” Katko said that Trump “has a lot of good principles.”
While Republican national security experts warned about Trump’s dangerous rhetoric that makes our country less safe, Katko said “I’m more concerned about my race.”
While Trump said that we need to be “unpredictable” with nuclear weapons, Katko told voters on TV, “whoever the Republican nominee is, I will absolutely support.”
“While Trump recklessly bragged about declaring war, Katko praised him for having ‘a lot of good principles’ and refused to disavow him until it was politically convenient. That should worry Central New York voters,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “By supporting Donald Trump’s divisive and dangerous campaign, Republican John Katko puts politics above safety and refuses to put Central New York, let alone the whole country, first.”
