Donovan taking heat over ‘border wall’ campaign mailer
President Donald Trump’s plan to build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico has landed right in the middle of the Republican primary race between Congressmember Dan Donovan and rival Michael Grimm.
Donovan has been hit with a torrent of criticism over a controversial mailing his campaign sent out this week to Republicans in the 11th Congressional District (Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) expressing support for the border wall.
The campaign literature, which was meant to highlight what Donovan claims is his strong support for secure borders, contains an image of an X-sign and police badge placed over another image of a woman and young children running, presumably across the border.
