A scoop of “fake news,” a spoonful of “liberal tears,” and a dash of “Bull-Schiff.” Those are the ingredients printed on “impeachment mugs” sold by Virginia Del. Nick Freitas, a congressional candidate running against Rep. Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s 7th District.
“We started selling the mugs as a way to give supporters of Nick and supporters of our president a way to express how ridiculous this entire impeachment process has been,” campaign manager Joe Desilets told the Washington Examiner.
Freitas, 40, is a prominent gun rights activist and has been a key voice in the Virginia Second Amendment sanctuary movement. Spanberger, a first-term congresswoman who has faced recent criticism in the Republican-leaning district, voted to impeach President Trump on Wednesday.
Freitas is “1000%” against the impeachment of Trump, added Desilets.
A former Green Beret who served two tours in Iraq, Freitas received endorsements from Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee earlier this month.
“Nick Freitas goes where the fight is, whether it’s leading Green Berets in combat in Iraq or standing for our conservative values in Virginia. We need people like Nick in Washington to help us fight for lower spending, the 2nd Amendment, and our veterans,” Cruz said in a statement.
