Friend —
When I emailed you yesterday, I thought the behavior at the RNC couldn't get a whole lot worse. Tuesday night proved me wrong.
Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey (and a possible attorney general if Trump wins), stood on stage and accused Hillary of being a criminal, bellowing “GUILTY" over and over again as the crowd egged him on.
He had the entire arena chanting "lock her up" — a cry that has become the mantra of the RNC.
If you closed your eyes, you could imagine it being a lot like a witch trial — they were barely one step removed from screaming "burn her at the stake."
It felt like a dark turning point in American politics — a sign that our nation is on the brink of something dangerous that we might not recover from.
We have to win. We have to show that this isn't the new normal. This isn't how democracy can or should work. In other countries, politicians might try to jail their opponents — but not in America.
