A representative for Republicans for the Rule of Law told Newsweek that the group targeted representatives who have shown a willingness to 'assert their independence' of the president.
"The House of Representatives is the people's house, and the Constitution gives it full responsibility for impeachment.
The new billboards are part of a much broader campaign by the Republican group to raise concerns about Trump's actions and call for greater transparency. Currently, the organization is running a television ad pointing out that Trump has blocked numerous key witnesses from testifying before Congress in relation to the impeachment inquiry.
"These witnesses must testify," the voice-over at the end of the ad, which is running on Fox News in key congressional districts, says in the clip."What is Trump afraid of?" Both the television ad and the billboards specifically call for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to go before House investigators.
Republicans for the Rule of Law is a project launched by the conservative advocacy organization Defending Democracy Together. Although it was founded by lifelong conservative Republicans, the group's views are notably at odds with current mainstream Republicans and the president. "The Republican Party finds itself entertaining some of the same unsettling nativist and authoritarian impulses that characterized Europe throughout the 20th century. These ideals are antithetical to what it means to be a Republican, and what it means to be American," the website of the group says.This new ad from Republicans for the Rule of Law will air in key states and districts on TV and will be promoted digitally.
