GOP campaign arm raises money off possible Trump impeachment

Source: Politicoame of source

On the day after President Donald Trump fired FBI Director Jim Comey, the House Republican campaign arm released a fundraising appeal raising the specter of a Democratic-led impeachment.

“Calls For Impeachment Grow Louder,” reads the subject line of the email appeal, which was sent by the National Republican Congressional Committee.



“BREAKING,” blares the top of the email. “House Democrats call for President Trump’s impeachment. We MUST protect our president. DEFEND THE PRESIDENT.”

“Fellow Conservative — Democrats want President Trump impeached — including the DNC Deputy Chair!” it adds. “If Democrats win the House their #1 priority would be to impeach our president. We must protect the House at ALL costs, Fellow Conservative.”

GOP capitalizing on what is obvious even to Trump dupes - the Comey firing is the beginning of the end for Putins crew in the White House.

dont know fucking basic civics because if they did they would know that the Democrats would have to get other Repugnants on board to get enough votes to impeach Trump and thats about as likely as my finding a winning powerball jackpot ticket in my wallet today.

The leaks reach firehose proportions, and the GOP who want to stay in office have to act accordingly to keep their jobs.

Thank God we still have a free press.

a good chunk of those GOPers in the House are teabaggers in gerrymandered Districts and they don't seem to care - despite the fact that those brave enough to have in-person town halls, are finally being confronted for the first time.
