A top GOP committee dedicated to electing Republicans to the House of Representatives is taking an adversarial approach to some of its recent fundraising attempts.
The National Republican Congressional Committee sent a fundraising message this month threatening supporters who had not yet donated, calling them a "traitor," The Washington Post reported.
"You abandoned Trump," a text version of the message said. "We were told you were a tried & true, lifelong patriot."
"But when Trump said he'd run for President if we took back the House from Nancy Pelosi...You did nothing. Was Trump wrong about you?" the statement asked.

The grift goes on.

(82,849 posts)Is it the same snowflakes who get all whiny and bent out of shape when liberals and progressives disagree with them, and make up all sorts of claims to martyrdom when their views are accurately represented in a way that makes them look like flaming hypocrites?
I don't suppose there's going to be a Frank Luntz focus group convened to complain about the NRCC calling them disloyal.

He was going to tell Daddy Dotard that you did not care anymore.
