A Trump-aligned dark money group just dropped another $2.1 million into the campaign to repeal Prop. 4, Utah's anti-gerrymandering law.
Securing American Greatness has contributed nearly $3.3 million to the effort. So far, they are the only donor.

Also a category that includes his mother, paternal grandparents, and two of his three wives. But of course that's different, because neither he nor de facto President Miller actually care about immigration as such. They care about racism, and it's a farce to concede the pretense it's anything else.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.
