Dems think Trump’s explosive comments last night were “Atrocious.” “Unbelievable.” “Wildly ridiculous.” But a majority are not much closer to supporting impeachment.
House Democrats left a Thursday caucus meeting aghast at President Donald Trump’s comments that he’d consider accepting election assistance from a foreign government. But even that statement wasn’t enough to move a majority of Democrats off the sidelines and closer to supporting impeachment.
“It shows that he’s completely unfit, and I hope it galvanizes the rest of my colleagues to start impeachment proceedings, because that’s what we need to do,” said Rep. Juan Vargas , who has long supported that step. “If a Democratic president had said that, Republicans would be yelling, ‘Treason! Treason!’”Sign Up
The majority of Democrats, however, remain opposed to the move, and most of those interviewed said Thursday that they want to only press on with investigations. Trump’s remarks seem to have done little to change Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s mind, who is opposed to pursuing impeachment, instead privately telling her fellow Democrats she’d like to see Trump"Everyone in the country should be appalled by what he said last night, totally appalled,” Pelosi said at a press briefing Thursday. “However what we want to do is have a methodical approach to the path that we are on and this will be included in that.
