Erick Erickson Posts Angry Emails From Donald Trump Supporters

-snip-

In a series of profanity-laced screeds, Trump supporters called Erickson, among other things, a "moron," a "despicable slob" and a "loser."

COWARD TO A NEGRO DEMOCRAT DAILY ____YOU SUCK HIM DAILY WHILE HE INTERRUPTS AND RUNS HIS MOUTH TO DISRUPT A SHOW EVERY SINGLE DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Erickson, himself known for misogynistic and incendiary language, used the emails to call for conservatives to "recalibrate" and to strive towards being "happy warriors." If this is the anger that flows out of Trump supporters, I do not think it is sustainable. Yet it comes daily. It is poisonous to debate, to democracy, and to the soul itself," he wrote.

He encouraged conservatives to "rise to to the occasion," and "not descend into a hell of rage," citing emails like these:

I am a registered Republican and want to know why Trump is not invited to speak? This really pisses me off…. I am moving towards the independent party because of shit like this. Is Mr. Erickson really this fucking stupid? What an idiot….

U fat fuck. U r pathetic, chickenshit cocksucker

My family and I are lifelong Republicans but you want to, excuse the language, “FUCK THINGS UP FOR THE REPUBLICANS”, “YOU JUST SHIT ON A LARGE NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS ACROSS THE NATION”!! Keep up the good work, the Hillary Clinton Campaign is: “THRILLED WITH YOUR ACTION” and should put you on their payroll. See you at the Third Party Convention!


Erickson called the sentiments "anger at an unhealthy level."
