CNN REPORTING: Mitch McConnell caught telling donors, "The way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority - with me as majority leader."
Hello,
In just a moment, we're going to ask you to make a donation to support Mitch McConnell's Democratic opponent and defeat McConnell when he's up for reelection next November. But before we do, please allow us a minute to explain why your gift today is critically important - no matter how far away Election Day might feel.
In a completely unsurprising display of hypocrisy and brazenness, Mitch McConnell was just caught on new video telling campaign donors that he's going to do everything he can to stop Donald Trump from being impeached - and that he needs their help (and money).
Just days before, Mitch was publicly telling reporters that he would have "no choice" but to hold a trial on whether or not to remove Trump from office. But behind closed doors, he's singing a different tune to his special interest donors.
This is straight out of McConnell's playbook: When Republicans are in power, he rams everything through; and when Democrats get even a tiny bit of control, Mitch stops at nothing to block and obstruct. It's no different than when he said in 2010 that his single greatest priority was to make President Obama a one-term president. Or when he blocked a bill reopen the government during Trump's month-long shutdown. Or to release Mueller's unredacted report. Or to pass climate change legislation or gun reform.
And no, we didn't forget about Merrick Garland. No one will ever forget what Mitch McConnell did to Merrick Garland or how he rammed through Brett Kavanaugh.
McConnell is determined to prevent Democrats from impeaching Donald Trump. And if Republicans keep control of the Senate and Mitch McConnell stays majority leader, he will make sure that Democrats get nothing done. But here's the thing: Even if Democrats do take back the Senate and the White House, McConnell will do everything possible to block and obstruct in the minority. Mitch doesn't care about rules or norms. He'll break the Senate even more than he already has until Republicans can take back control again.
There's only one solution: In 2020, Mitch McConnell is up for reelection, and we MUST defeat him once and for all. That's why we started Ditch Mitch - a new, completely grassroots-funded organization that is solely dedicated to defeating Mitch McConnell next November.
Our plan is simple: In order to take Mitch McConnell on and finally send him packing, we need to fund and run a full-scale campaign starting right now. Mitch has already started blanketing Kentucky with TV ads, so if we're going to be successful, we can't afford to wait and let him get a head start.
McConnell has a campaign war chest filled with millions of dollars from corporate PACs, and he's already show he's not going to be afraid to use it to drown his Democratic opponent Amy McGrath in attack ads. We've already started running ads and organizing to fight back and win, but we're counting on everyday people like you to help us build a massive grassroots movement if we're going to actually defeat the most powerful man in Washington.
In a matter of just months, over 81,000 donors have already joined our grassroots movement and donated to help us take down Mitch in 2020. So if you're as fed up as we are with McConnell, then please, will you make a donation right now of whatever you can afford so that we can help Amy McGrath to Ditch Mitch once and for all? Every dollar you give will go directly to holding Mitch McConnell accountable, supporting his Democratic opponent, and ensuring that Mitch McConnell never wins an election ever again.

Taking on McConnell won't be easy, but we're not doing it because it will be easy. We're doing it precisely because it is hard - and because it's the only way we'll restore some sanity back to the Senate and to our country.
Thank you for being a part of this from the very start,
