House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is attempting to raise money off of rumors that President Trump could be considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller.
“Muller FIRED,” reads the subject line of an email blasted out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Friday under Nancy Pelosi’s name.
It begins, “I’m so furious I can barely write this email. President Trump is inches away from firing Robert Mueller and derailing the entire Russia investigation.”
Pelosi goes on to write, “my Republican colleagues are actively HELPING him. They’re jeopardizing our democracy, our national security, and the safety of every election we hold. Frankly, they can’t be trusted.”
She asks, “I need a MASSIVE 24-hour fundraising surge to send them a powerful message: If they let Trump fire Mueller, we’ll kick each and EVERY one of them out of office.”
In the email are hyperlinks to directly donate increments of $1, $35, $50, $100, $250, or other amounts “immediately” to the DCCC.
Despite her argument that the money is help fight the firing, which has not occurred, Trump has maintained that if he wanted to fire Mueller, he would have by now.
