McKee asks for cancellation of fundraiser hosted by former Trump RI co-chair Published Sun May 09 2021 18:15:21 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Ian Donnis
Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee has asked for the cancellation of a fundraiser after The Public’s Radio reported that it was being hosted by the co-chair of former President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign in Rhode Island.
“Once I became aware on Friday afternoon of the details of a fundraising event set for next Wednesday, I asked that the event be cancelled,” McKee said Sunday, in a statement released through his campaign organization.
“I do not want to be associated with Donald Trump in any way, shape, or form,” McKee continued. “I do not like Trump…he is dishonest, divisive, and his “Big Lie” is a threat to our democracy. There is no place for a Trump spokesperson to co-host any event I am involved in.”
