I got a text message on my phone tonight;

"BREAKING: Dems just voted to IMPEACH Pres. Trump! We're 5X matching the first 100 donors to DEFEND Trump Here: (url to RNC follows)"

A) I have NEVER donated to the fucking RNC, and I'm sure as HELL not going to start now! B) What the hell are they doing with my phone number?? I've never given it to them, and sure as hell won't now. C) Those filthy greedy money-grubbing traitorous basturds are FUND-RAISING on AnusMouth's CRIMES, FFS!!

FUCK the GOPee!! and the diseased, mangy, flea-bitten horses they rode in on!

Your cell # can be gotten by anybody. And you've never donated to them before, so this is just scammers wanting money.

Besides why would a political party match donations 5x?

Is the URL real?

Not defending the GOP. I hope they no longer exist after next election, taken down and dismantled.

against him 3 times if they messaged me again to get them to take me off the list, and they did.

I did vote for him for senate.

It is child's play to text all 9,999 possible phone numbers in the 295 prefix.

But I have two other phones on my account with the same prefix as mine, and neither of them got the message.
