Douglas Golden Published October 5, 2019 at 8:12am If the Democrats want to send impeach President Trump and send the matter to the Senate for a trial, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’s ready to stop it. Even if they don’t impeach Trump, McConnell’s still making the spectacle the centerpiece of his re-election bid. According to The Hill, McConnell has launched a series of ads on Facebook in which the Kentucky Republican says the impeachment push stops “with me.” “Nancy Pelosi’s in the clutches of a left-wing mob,” he says in one ad. “They finally convinced her to impeach the president. All of you know your Constitution, the way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority with me as majority leader.” The ads have been running on Facebook since Sept. 27, which was three days after House Speaker Pelosi announced Democrats were moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. Pelosi was targeted in another ad where the caption says that a “conservative Senate Majority is the ONLY thing stopping Nancy Pelosi from impeaching President Trump. Donate & help us keep it.” Another ad includes a caption about House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff. “BREAKING: Adam Schiff LIED. His office secretly coordinated with the source of this laughable impeachment inquiry. Help me stop it,” the caption on the advertisement reads. All of the ads appear to feature the same video message from McConnell, albeit with different captions. Turning McConnell’s seat blue in a thoroughly red state is one of the Democrats’ more quixotic electoral projects. In 2014, they thought they had a chance, as the polls stayed close until the Democratic candidate face-planted in the debate; McConnell won re-election by 15 points. The 2020 race was also supposed to be close as Amy McGrath — a Marine veteran who had almost unseated a GOP congressman in the 2018 midterms — became the de facto front-runner and a potential spoiler as soon as she declared. Her campaign has since been beset by a series of unforced errors. If the facts on the Ukraine investigation remain what they are and Trump is still impeached, it could erode McGrath’s chances even further. “Few issues energize conservative voters like liberal overreach and the Democrats latest outrageous attempt to impeach President Trump has activated our base to new heights,” McConnell campaign manager Kevin Golden said in a statement to The Hill.
