Representative Joaquin Castro “Redflags” Trump Supporters for Immediate Targeting….


August 6, 2019

By sundance




Democrat Congressman Joaquin Castro, represents a district that encompasses San Antonio, Texas.


Using his twitter account today, Representative Castro posted a list of local donors to the Donald Trump campaign directing his followers to target those ordinary citizens. [Tweet here]


Pay close attention to this current method of political targeting; and overlay the law of unintended consequences to the current gun control discussion surrounding “redflag” laws.


Ultimately what far-left Joaquin Castro is doing is exactly what will happen when arbitrary rules of defining people for targeting are pushed into law. History is full of examples where this exact process was used. None of those examples ended well for those who were defined.


Posting a list on the public square; of ordinary citizens who just hold a different political outlook; and targeting them for confrontation, is just fueling ANTIFA toward violence against those on the list. This is what cultural progressives mean when they say: “by any means necessary.”


Joaquin Castro’s twin brother, Julian Castro, is one of the Democrat candidates for president, and was previously President Obama’s HUD secretary. Together Joaquin and Julian personify an ideology that supports political targeting, by any means necessary – including violence, of their political opposition.


Political targeting is exactly what President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder were doing when the DOJ requested the donor contribution lists, “schedule B’s”, from the IRS (Lois Lerner) so they could generate their ‘secret research project‘ targeting list. These actions are directly, openly, publicly and specifically, the weaponization of government.



This is the long-standing ideology of the of the political left. It is a short walk from starting a secret research project; creating files through surveillance, generating lists of citizens and posting them in the public square; to eventually making people wear armbands. The purposes are EXACTLY the same.


This is both the historic and modern Democrat party.


If you don’t think this is already happening, think again.

Joaquin Castro desires to continue the illegal alien invasion of our country and to transform us. He and others are apparently willing to sacrifice the health, welfare, jobs, and lives of American citizens.

Though donor information is public, Joaquin Castro is putting a direct target on the lives of American citizens who may disagree with his open borders and socialist mindset.

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), twin brother of Democrat presidential candidate Julián Castro, took to Twitter Monday and posted the names and employers of dozens of individuals – residing in his own San Antonio district – who contributed the maximum amount to President Trump’s re-election campaign.

Castro, who serves as the chair of his brother’s presidential campaign, allegedly posted the names of 44 San Antonio residents who donated the maximum amount to Trump’s re-election campaign in what appears to be an attempt to shame them.

“Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump,” Castro wrote in a tweet posted to his unverified campaign account, before listing the names of some of the specific donors and accusing them of “fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.'”


Breitbart News reached out to Joaquin Castro’s team to confirm that the unverified campaign account is, in fact, operated by the congressman but did not receive a comment. However, Breitbart News can conclude that it is his campaign’s account, as it was listed in an archived version of his congressional campaign page.


Additionally, Julián Castro’s national press secretary, Sawyer Hackett, responded to criticism of the tweet and defended its sentiments, reaffirming that the account is indeed connected to Rep. Castro:

Dangerous? This is public information published by the FEC—information you and your colleagues have used for countless stories over the years.

Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh responded to Castro’s tweet, calling on him to delete it and apologize. He also urged his brother’s campaign to “disavow” Joaquin’s controversial move:

How low have Dems sunk?


This is Joaquin Castro, Congressman & chair of his brother's campaign.

Naming private citizens & their employers, targeting them for political views and exercising 1st Amendment rights.
Should delete & apologize. Castro campaign should disavow. pic.twitter.com/5MSJPBBaF0

“Democrats want to talk about inciting violence? This naming of private citizens and their employers is reckless and irresponsible,” Murtaugh told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “He is endangering the safety of people he is supposed to be representing.”

“Hey, media, do you think this is okay?” Murtaugh asked in a tweet.

“At the very least @Castro4Congress is inviting harassment of these private citizens,” he continued. “At worst, he’s encouraging violence. Will media concerned about “rhetoric” care about this? He’s listing people and their employers.”

“This is a target list,” he added:

Castro was still defending the tweet as of 6:00 p.m. ET:

First, the Indivisble@group’s graphic I shared doesn’t have private or personal info — no addresses or phone #, etc. It’s publicly reported info printed in newspapers routinely from the @nyt to the @dcexaminer. You know that. 1/ https://t.co/t6cdNckM1a

2nd, what I said is true — your campaign has stoked fear of brown-skinned immigrants. Those contributions hv been used to pay for over 2K @Facebook ads declaring an invasion by Hispanics.


That is truly dangerous for millions.


Will you commit not to run another ad like that? 2/2

All illegal aliens ARE invaders and criminal trespassers. They have NO right to come here. They are coming from countries all over the world and Mexico and Central America is facilitating this invasion and allowed the caravans to come through.

I call it an invasion when foreign countries are DUMPING entire cities of their people across our border waving their countries flag.

This is war, plane and simple. This is not asylum. They are not coming here carrying rifles, but they are bringing crime, drugs, diseases, gangs, poverty, and all their problems.

SHUT THE WHOLE BORDER DOWN.

THIS IS COMPLETE LAWSLESSNESS...OUR LAWS HAVE NO COLOR.

I DO NOT CARE WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM ON THE PLANET, WHAT COLOR THEY ARE, SEND THEM ALL BACK!!!

NO PAPERS, THEN NO ENTRY AND NO RIGHTS!
