Gabbard criticizes Pelosi for suggesting delay in sending articles to Senate: You can't 'make up the rules as you go along'
WASHINGTON — In another break from the Democratic Party, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for suggesting that the House might hold off on transmitting articles of impeachment until the Republican-led Senate lays out parameters for a trial.
After the House impeached Trump Wednesday evening, Pelosi was unclear about when she would send the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress impeachment articles to the Senate, which would conduct a trial to decide on whether to remove the president from office.Pelosi appeared to hint that articles could be held to ensure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., establishes fair procedures for a trial.
Trump said that Pelosi was"afraid" to pass on the articles. He was impeached on charges of improperly pressuring Ukraine's president to open investigations that would benefit his 2020 election, and blocking the House's impeachment investigation. My ‘present’ vote was an active protest against the zero-sum game the two opposing political sides have trapped America in. My vote and campaign is about freeing our country from this damaging mindset so we can work side-by-side to usher in a bright future for all #StandWithTulsi pic.twitter.com/nmhEL5bi4QSpeaking to Hill.TV, Gabbard also suggested that Democrats stood in the way of an"impartial" impeachment inquiry.
