DEVELOPING STORY: Democrat Rep. Julia Brownley is Really, Really Into Fundraising Off Of Impeaching Obama

Democrat Rep. Julia Brownley (CA) fired off a fundraising email on July 30. Subject line: DEVELOPING STORY: [Impeachment]. Here is that email.

It’s signed “Thanks for standing strong, JuliaBrownley.com.”

The email implies that Brownley’s Republican opponent, Jeff Gorell, supports impeaching President Obama.

He doesn’t.

Brian Dennert, journalist for the Ventura County Star, started tweeting at Gorell about the email.

I just received a fundraising email from @JuliaBrownley26 on #Impeachment . #ca25 @JeffGorell

Gorell tweeted back.

@dennert deceptive, desperate and insulting to voters.

Dennert responded:

@JeffGorell Say you are completely against it and I will call out @JuliaBrownley26 for it. #ca26 #impeachment

Gorell replied:

@dennert Hi Brian, I'm completely against impeachment, but it isn't an issue being discussed or evaluated by anyone I know or interact with.

— Jeff Gorell (@JeffGorell) July 31, 2014

Dennert, a liberal, was persuaded and turned his fire back on Brownley.
