Polish Wisconsinites issue letter condemning Trump's stance on Ukraine and backing Harris
A group of dozens of Polish American Wisconsinites, including current and former Democratic elected officials, released an open letter Wednesday criticizing former President Donald Trump's comments about Russia's war with Ukraine and backing Vice President Kamala Harris."Earlier this year, Trump said he would encourage Russia to 'do whatever the hell they want' to our NATO allies, and during the debate last week he twice refused to answer a question about whether he wanted Ukraine to win their war," the letter reads. "Polish people in the U.S. and around the world know that our future is tied to Ukraine’s — because after Ukraine, Putin’s next target is Poland."
The letter was signed by more than 60 Polish American Wisconsinites, including Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski, Stevens Point Mayor Mike Wiza, Oak Creek Mayor Dan Bukiewicz, Milwaukee County Board Supervisor Justin Bielinski and Portage County Board Supervisor Shaun Przybylski.
The letter comes as both Harris and Trump are working to win support from Polish American voters.
During last week's debate, held in Philadelphia, Harris appealed to the 800,000 Polish-Americans who reside in Pennsylvania as she criticized Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and comments about the war in Ukraine.
