Hello,

Did you watch The Rachel Maddow Show last night?

After Mitch McConnell suddenly introduced eleventh hour rules for Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate, here’s what Rachel had to say about it on her show last night:

The one thing in these rules that truly surprised me, I mean I didn’t know exactly what to expect overall, but I was very surprised to see what appears to be no commitment to even review the evidence collected by the House when they conducted their investigation of this scandal and when they passed the articles of impeachment.

It made me wonder, if they’re not committing at the outset to accept that evidence from the House, the way for example they did in the Clinton impeachment as far as I remember... Does that open us up to a situation in which Senator McConnell could try to sort of ‘cherry pick’ specific pieces of evidence from the House investigation… I mean, could they actually try to engineer their own facts by cherry picking?

Rachel’s absolutely right. Mitch McConnell isn’t interested in a fair or transparent trial. Instead, he wants to rig an acquittal from the very start and refuse to allow the Senate and the American people to know the facts or to hear from any witnesses.

Thankfully, McConnell is up for reelection in 2020, and we have a historic chance to finally defeat him and remove him from office once and for all so that he can never do this kind of thing again.

The most recent polls show that Democrat Amy McGrath is in a statistical TIE with Mitch McConnell. Nate Silver, one of the most trusted analysts in politics, said that he thinks that Amy absolutely can win. And Mitch McConnell’s popularity is at historic LOWS in his home state of Kentucky.

We’ve set a goal of raising $500,000 to start 2020 off with the momentum and the resources we’re going to need to win, but right now we’re still $182,381 short.

Please, can we count on you to give $5 or more right now – whatever you can afford – and help us hit this critical goal? Every single dollar you give today will go directly to helping Amy McGrath defeat Mitch McConnell this November and Ditch Mitch once and for all!

We can defeat Mitch McConnell in 2020, but only if we refuse to stop now or let up.

Thanks for chipping in during this critical moment and for being a part of this grassroots movement,

The Ditch Mitch Fund
