*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

Washington, DC – Correct The Record delivered Chris Christie an individualized Donald Trump hat along with a letter in advance of the upcoming presidential debate. The must-have fashion accessory of the GOP, as worn by Trump himself, has been personalized with Christie’s discriminatory proposal to keep tabs on Muslims in the United States and block those who want to come here.
While Trump’s rhetoric may be more bombastic and his proposals more aggressive, Christie and other GOP presidential contenders would make it harder for Muslims to come to the U.S. The hateful proposals of the rest of the Republican presidential field are just as outrageous as Trump’s.
“Muslim-bashing Donald Trump thinks he can ‘Make America Great Again’ with policies that actually divide us, flout basic human rights, and aid terrorists’ recruitment efforts, and Chris Christie is no different,” said Daniel Wessel of Correct The Record. “Christie said we should not accept Syrian refugees, not even orphans under the age of five, and he admitted he would support Donald Trump as the Republican nominee, despite the outcry following his proposed discriminatory ban on Muslims visiting the United States. We hope this personalized hat will help Chris Christie show America his true colors before the debate. Christie acts like Trump; now he can look like him too.”

Dear Mr. Christie,
Your friends at Correct The Record have sent you a gift – a signature Donald Trump hat, the type of hat worn by Trump himself, individualized with your own hateful proposal to keep tabs on Muslims in the United States and block those who want to come here.
You, sir, have said we should not accept Syrian refugees, not even orphans under the age of five. You admitted you would support Donald Trump as the Republican nominee.
Your policies divide us, flout basic human rights, and inevitably aid terrorists’ recruitment efforts. They are irresponsible, discriminatory, and contrary to America’s defining values.
Though Donald Trump’s Muslim-bashing rants are the loudest, you’re equally responsible for the creation of a deeply disturbing atmosphere in America. You support Trump’s fear-mongering and you imitate his efforts with hateful proposals of your own. We hope this hat will help you to show the American people your true colors. You act like Trump; now you can look like him too.
Sincerely,
Correct The Record
