Republicans prank Dems with special delivery tied with bows. Battleground state lawmakers not amused.

Democrats in key battleground districts were not amused by the Halloween “trick†played by the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Congressional districts that the GOP is hoping to claim in 2020 were targeted by the NRCC which pranked Democratic lawmakers soon after a divided House vote to formalize procedures for the impeachment inquiry.

Here’s the label on a package the NRCC sent to one of the frontliners after the impeachment vote today, from a source. The appearance of the hand delivered boxes prompted Capitol Police to come investigate
2:47 PM - Oct 31, 2019
Predicting that the party-line vote will have dire consequences for Democrats at the ballot box in November 2020, Republicans delivered empty boxes with notes reading, “Get Packing†to multiple Democrats including Virginia Rep. Jennifer Wexton, Rep. Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, Texas Rep. Lizzie Fletcher and others who flipped GOP districts in 2018.
The boxes, which were not packing boxes but rather the kind used to ship packages through the U.S. Post Office, were sealed and topped with a bow, prompting security concerns and calls to the Capitol Police.
