The New York Times Editorial Board penned an op-ed piece backing the impeachment of President Donald Trump, condemning Republicans for subverting democracy.
The newspaper's editorial board of opinion journalists said Trump has left the defense of the U.S. Constitution, and the Republic as a whole, solely in the hands of the House of Representatives.said it's"regrettable" the House moved so quickly with impeachment, but Trump's certainty to cheat in the upcoming election forced their hand.
"The framers of the Constitution understood that elections, and thus democracy, cannot function appropriately 'if a president was determined to cheat to win,' thewrites, citing James Madison."Trump has been committing arguably impeachable offenses since the moment he entered the Oval Office.
"To resist the pull of partisanship, Republicans and Democrats alike ought to ask themselves the same question: Would they put up with a Democratic president using the power of the White House this way?" The piece also singles out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham forthey have zero interest in reviewing the facts and instead vowing to keep in lock-step with the desires of the White House. But the writers said they hope Trump will finally produce the defense he has so far failed to provide and demand sworn appearances by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former national security adviser John Bolton to"exonerate" his Ukraine actions.
