22 GOP Lawmakers Targeted in Trump-Impeachment Plot
Calls for impeachment of President Trump are nothing new – some started within minutes of his January inauguration – but efforts to put the country’s 45th president on trial are reaching a fevered pitch in the wake of the Charlottesville protest clashes and left-wing attempts to link the president to “white nationalists.”
A group affiliated with the online activist group Anonymous on Thursday posted the hacked private cell-phone numbers and email addresses for 22 Republican members of Congress in a bid to push for Trump’s impeachment. Among those on the list were U.S. Sens. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Bob Corker of Tennessee and Charles Grassley of Iowa.
In what appears to be a coordinated effort, the DNC sent out an email alert to Democrats Thursday requesting that they show up this weekend at anti-Trump rallies in cities across the U.S.
It’s apparently part of a strategy to feed off of the anti-Trump energy created in the media post-Charlottesville with the destruction and removal of Confederate monuments in multiple cities such as Baltimore; Atlanta; Nashville; Durham, North Carolina; and San Antonio, Texas.
“What happened this past weekend in Charlottesville, and Donald Trump’s disgraceful actions since, should only motivate us to keep fighting even harder for what is right,” DNC Chair Tom Perez says in the email. “Come out this Weekend of Action to an event near you, and say you’ll rise and organize with us.” (Read more from “22 GOP Lawmakers Targeted in Trump-Impeachment Plot” HERE)
