Mary Trump, former President Donald Trump’s niece, announced she is joining the board of LPAC, an organization dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ female candidates.
According to Politico, Trump says she is making the move as a result of watching her uncle almost destroy democracy.
“We came really close to losing our democracy — and I may sound melodramatic but it happens to be true,” Trump said on Thursday.
She added, “I feel it’s the beginning of the fight because we came so close to losing everything, and we’re also faced with a situation in which there’s this fight over the filibuster, and it’s important we understand this is about representation across the board.”
Politico explained Trump worked with the organization before the 2016 election and was asked to join LPAC to assist with recruiting candidates and fundraising ahead of the 2022 elections.
“If it’s only men making decisions about womens’ issues or straight people making decisions about LGBTQ issues, then that’s where we run into problems and we’ve seen this,” Trump said.
She has been critical of her uncle and called on him to resign during an ABC News interview in July of 2020.
“He’s utterly incapable of leading this country and it’s dangerous to allow him to do so,” Trump said.
