Herbert, Donald Trump just called for my death and arrest.

He not only called for my arrest—he went even further, calling for violence against me and several of my colleagues who also served the country before our time in Congress.

Why? Because we spoke a simple truth: no service member is forced to follow an illegal order. The oath to the Constitution is sacred, one that I first swore as a 17-year old at the Naval Academy, and binds us all to the rule of law.

I will not be intimidated by Donald Trump and his calls for violence against me.

If you’re willing to support a Navy veteran who believes in the rule of law, in the Constitution, in the promise of democracy—then I’m asking you, right now, to step up and help me fight back by splitting a contribution between Blake Gendebien and me →

I took the oath in the Navy—and I took it again when I was elected to Congress.

That oath doesn’t expire—and I’ll be damned if Donald Trump, a man who tried to overthrow our government on January 6, 2021, tells me how to serve this country.

So Trump can threaten me, call for my arrest, and even try to incite violence against me, but he can’t scare me into abandoning my oath.

Herbert, I believe in our country and our Constitution. If you do too, chip in anything you can today to help Blake Gendebien and me defend democracy, protect our freedoms, and stand up to this insurrectionist president →

DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP!
