George W. Bush's top speechwriter is now calling for Trump's impeachment
The Week ^ | AP 24 2019 | The Week

Another Republican has hopped on the impeachment train.

After the Mueller report detailed President Trump's failure to take what Michael Gerson calls "a criminal plot by a hostile foreign government" to the FBI, the chief speechwriter for former President George W. Bush writes that "House leaders should lay the groundwork for impeachment." This move strays from politics' usual goals of "partisanship" and "endless fundraising," Gerson continues in his Monday op-ed for The Washington Post, but adds that this choice will "echo across the decades."

Sounds like Bush & Co. were in on the coup. I wonder what their role was.

Gerson is a left-wing, environmental “Christian”, a conservative to The Washington Post.

“The Week” keeps sending me free issues of their left-wing drivel. I see why they practically have to give it away.

I'm reserving judgement until I hear what Gingrich's barber has to say.

Seriously, why should I care what anyone's speechwriter thinks about anything?

Gerson has always been NeverTrump. Gives him credit for nothing in any of his columns.

Maybe so, but Bush gave him the job.
