SC-01: NRCC mocks Democratic congressman and wife for going to marriage counseling
House Republicans’ campaign arm mocked a Democratic congressman on Twitter for getting marriage counseling with his wife, asking whether the couple’s seemingly divergent views on impeachment will be a topic of their sessions.
On Friday, Rep. Joe Cunningham (S.C.) shot back.
“Amanda is my rock — and the @NRCC just hit rock bottom,” he tweeted, referring to the National Republican Congressional Committee. “I respect my wife and all women, y’all should give it a try. Let’s show them there’s a price for living in the gutter.” He added a link to donate to his reelection campaign.
Cunningham, a freshman representing a moderate district, is one of the remaining House Democrats who have not backed an impeachment inquiry into President Trump after revelations stemming from an intelligence official’s whistleblower complaint. But his wife, Amanda, this week shared an Instagram post from presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke advocating impeachment.
That prompted the NRCC to take a screenshot of her post and tweet it out, adding: “Looks like Mrs. Cunningham likes a man who supports baseless impeachment … wonder if this will come up in @RepCunningham‘s marriage counseling?”
