Indiana Democrats respond to Trump's tweet accusing Donnelly of 'trying to steal the election'
In a Saturday afternoon tweet, President Donald Trump accused Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., of "trying to steal the election" by paying for Facebook ads for Libertarian candidate Lucy Brenton.
The 2:05 p.m. tweet ended with a question: "Isn't that what Russia did?"
