Hilarious takedown of Dems’ shifting accusations… ‘collusion’ to ‘quid pro quo’ to ‘extortion’ to ‘bribery’

The Trump campaign rapid response team is on its toes. They just emailed a hilarious response to the start of hearings today:

High Crimes (and Focus Groups!)

Impeachment “is about patriotism. It’s not about politics,” a very sad and somber Nancy Pelosi insisted again yesterday. “It’s not about anything political. It’s about patriotism.”

Actually, it’s about polling.

The Washington Post reports today that “Democrats have stopped using the term ‘quid pro quo,’ instead describing ‘bribery’ as a more direct summation of Trump’s alleged conduct.” Why?

“The shift came after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee conducted focus groups in key House battlegrounds in recent weeks, testing messages related to impeachment. Among the questions put to participants was whether ‘quid pro quo,’ ‘extortion’ or ‘bribery’ was a more compelling description of Trump’s conduct. According to two people familiar with the results, which circulated among Democrats this week, the focus groups found ‘bribery’ to be most damning.”

Got that? The impeachment of the President will be determined by testing various accusations on focus groups in key House battlegrounds. (Just as our nation’s Founders intended!)

Democrats aren’t “following the facts”—they’re using polls to figure out what crimes to accuse the President of. What a joke.

I like how they are now trying to say that Trump allegedly NOT giving them money is bribery.

Adams mocks the new charge as "reverse bribery", where the Dems are accusing Trump of paying someone to get something he wants.

Instead of the normal way of bribery, where someone pays Trump to get something they want.

As Scott Adams points out (see my post #2 for hilarity), that not how "bribery" works.

The Dumbocrats changed the word because they finally figured out that Midwesterners don't speak Latin.

Heard last night schiff-4-brains or someone on his team is asking the OMB to submit some sort of payment history to the Ukes or something. Because no president ever in the past delayed aid waiting on some implied “favor” to be answered. Right?

This is all over Twitter:

"Isn't the way bribery works is that someone is supposed to bribe Trump, instead of him bribing someone else?"

Foreign aid to other countries is literally bribery.

We pay them to do something we want.

White liberal garbage 'elites' don't know middle class traditional Americans - so they use focus groups. Democrats in DC do the same... It's a vile form of political manipulation.

Americans of both parties need to pass laws requiring that people doing focus groups identify the groups, parties, or industries they're representing.
