Impeachment Comments Democrats Would Rather You Forget

Issues & Insights   "More than 20 years ago, when President Bill Clinton was being impeached for lying to a grand jury – then as now a documented fact that no one can credibly dispute – some Democrats who today want to impeach and have the Senate remove President Donald Trump from office ASAP, were whistling a very different tune.

:Back then they strongly argued:
1. There was no bipartisan consensus.
2. An impeachment would be traumatic for the country and distract Congress from solving major domestic and foreign policy problems.

"Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Dem Rep. Jerry Nadler also made unwanted cameos during the powerful clip.
“ 'The effect of impeachment is to overturn the popular will of the voters,” Nadler once said. It’s worth it to note, that Nadler has been one of the most relentless in pursuit of impeachment. Apparently, he’s had a big change of heart.


“ 'Their hatred of the president exceeds their caring about this country and its people,” Schumer’s part in the clip declared.
