McBath email re: impeachment

Don't fall for the hype:

"Hey Bob --

There is a lot of noise in Washington right now about impeachment -- and I wanted you to hear from me directly.

As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, I voted to formally begin the impeachment inquiry on September 12th -- almost two weeks ago. And Republicans (including our opponent Karen Handel) began to attack me at that point for "supporting impeachment." Today, they're attacking me for "not supporting impeachment." Huh?

And in just the last 24 hours, Republicans have begun the name calling again... labeling me as:

Lyin' Lucy (an old standby)
Deranged
A coward
Let there be no doubt -- Republicans will continue to use impeachment as a talking point to attack me because President Trump won our district in 2016.

So, I need this grassroots team to stand behind me as I continue to do what is right in Washington.

Our president is not above the law, and House Democrats and I will continue the impeachment inquiry we voted to start almost two weeks ago. The American people deserve to know the truth and we will work in Congress to keep uncovering all of the facts.

Thanks for reading,

-- Lucy"

Maybe whoever made up the list shoulda asked her. She's up to her neck fighting for gun control, doesn't mean she's not on board with impeachment. I live here, and it's clear that she is getting smeared in every possible way, and a lot of the left are buying it.
