Republican group pushing back on Trump immunity claim in $2M campaign
The Hill ^ | 6/7/24 | Lauren Irwin

Posted on 06/07/2024 11:11:39 AM PDT by OakOak

A group called Republicans for the Rule of Law launched a $2 million ad campaign Friday pushing back on former President Trump’s claim that he has absolute immunity from being prosecuted for his actions surrounding the 2020 presidential election.

The advertisements feature 25 conservatives explaining why they favor the rule of law over absolute immunity.

According to a press release from the group, the ad campaign will be focused in 12 states where “the immunity argument has been least available,” including Alabama and Texas, and states that “are directly impacted by these arguments,” including Georgia and Pennsylvania. The ads will air on digital and streaming platforms through June 23, the organization said.

“Our constitutional system is predicated on legal accountability and equal justice under the law, even for presidents and past presidents,” Sarah Longwell, the executive director of Republicans for the Rule of Law, said in a statement. “Conservatives feel this in our bones: No man or woman is above the law. In this case, that means rejecting the ‘absolute immunity’ claim.”

From her Wikipedia page…..

Longwell married in 2013. In 2016, Longwell and her wife had their first child.]

"Longwell also became the first female national board chair of the Log Cabin Republicans. Longwell was instrumental in persuading the Log Cabin Republicans to refrain from endorsing then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016.

In 2019, the Log Cabin Republicans endorsed President Trump for re-election and Longwell resigned as board chair."

The last time a group of Democrats did this against a Democrat was...never in history.

Exactly....

Just like “The Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea”

No need to look any further than the name...because if they weren’t a Democratic Republic of the people....they wouldn’t have named themselves as such.

That’s my question too. Who are they targeting? It’s just a smear campaign.

Quislings so full of hatred for America and Trump that they would make it easy to paralyze a president to get their ways.
Trolls are so transparent!

I’m assuming these are a combination of never trumpers and democrat posing as Republicans. Besides no one on our side believes people are above the law - but we also don’t believe ‘the law’ should be weaponized with totalitarians cobbling together misdemeanors into felonies and rigging repeatedly a judge who hates Trump to ‘oversea’ things.

RINO = Republican In Name Only.

It’s not rocket surgery. These people calling themselves republicans are not patriotic American conservatives. They are the fixers for the wealthy elite who own them from tip to tail.

You know who they are. McConnell, Romney, Graham, Cheney, et. al. There are unfortunately no shortage of them at the moment. What we need to do is make them go extinct in the halls of power where they have been abusing the system for their owners and masters like good little doggies on a leash.

Things like this is what Trump’s up against when he becomes president. I hope he knows it. They will bog him down anyway they can. He needs a special task force to handle things just like this. Kind of like Clinton’s “Bimbo eruption squad”.

Bill Kristol and Mona Charon, twoo of the founders.

I assumed this group might be of the same “donors/founders as the Bulwark/Lincoln Project/Defending Democracy Together, etc., etc.

It’s amazing how active these lowlifes are.

This “Republican” group is probably funded by the same bunch of Hollywood leftists that funded the so-called “Lincoln Project” of “Republicans”, including the obese George Conway, who constituted the Lincoln Group which targeted Trump with their vitriol and lies in 2020. Lenin had a name for them, “Useful idiots”.

Only the mods or Jim Robinson can do that. Maybe you should watch your mouth?
