The Republican National Committee has been paying for an effort to get thousands of people to call congressional Democrats en masse in an effort to tie up their phone lines with complaints about the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, a RNC spokesperson confirmed to TPM a New York Times report detailing the RNC’s phone campaign, which has led to approximately 11,000 callers flooding almost three dozen congressional Democrats’ offices with complaints.
According to the spokesperson, the RNC paid for a phone survey of thousands of voters that asked the participant if they wanted to contact their representative and tell them they opposed impeaching Trump. If the participant said “yes,” they would be connected to the representative’s office.
The calls are part of the RNC’s $2.3 million “Stop the Madness” campaign against impeachment.
“This has been a comprehensive response effort on the part of the RNC since late September and we’ve maintained steady pressure and momentum on vulnerable Democrats,” the spokesperson said.
Is this what Rethuglicans call responsible leadership? Dems could do the same thing to the White House, the DOJ, etc, but I doubt that they would be that childish. It takes Trumpistas to play such childish and immature games.
How soon will it be before the RNC resorts to DoS attacks?
Not Republicans but Anarchists, it seems.
Swamp dwellers.
Ronna McDaniel? Oh yeah…the woman who dropped Romney from her hyphenated name when it got awkward…
