WASHINGTON ― In a new and disgusting development, the National Republican Congressional Committee is raising money by selling T-shirts that joke about immigrants being mauled by alligators at President Donald Trump’s so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention center in Florida.
“That’s right! Alligator Alcatraz is officially open, and we are excited about it!!” reads a Monday fundraising email from the NRCC, which helps elect Republicans to Congress.
“So excited that we have decided to release a T-SHIRT!” it reads.
The email features an image of a T-shirt with an alligator wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap with ICE on it, which stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Atop the image, it reads, “Alligator Alcatraz.” Underneath, it reads, “ICE with a bite.”
The email reads: “Do you support keeping our nation safe from ILLEGAL CRIMINALS? Well, this is your chance to show support for ICE in their mission! Let’s make sure we keep our cities SAFE from criminal illegal aliens.”
