Breaking: Dem Leaders Calling For Impeachment, Clash With Pelosi's Refusal
Politico has just reported that Democratic leaders Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), and Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) are all demanding impeachment to begin but Pelosi is blocking it.
Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), and Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) — all members of the Democratic leadership — pushed to begin impeachment proceedings during a leadership meeting in Pelosi's office, said the sources. Pelosi and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) — one of her key allies and a member of leadership herself — rejected their calls, saying Democrats' message is being drowned out by the fight over possibly impeaching Trump.
Pelosi’s arrogance is going to get our democracy ruined. She needs to have her phones lit up. This criminality cannot continue.Pelosi’s office (202) 225-4965. She even insults the base with her nonsensical “the rank and file aren’t for it.” What garbage, 70% of Dems want impeachment proceedings now. Earlier today when asked about Amash’s comments on impeachment, Pelosi blew it off by stating we still need republicans in the senate.
And in a Democratic Steering and Policy Committee meeting, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) stood up and demanded Trump's impeachment. Pelosi then countered, "This is not about politics, it's about what's best for the American people," said a member who attended the meeting.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), another member of the Judiciary Committee, is also in favor of an impeachment inquiry if McGahn doesn't appear on Tuesday.
