Democrat Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Trump for Charlottesville Response
CNS News ^ | August 17, 2017 | By Melanie Arter

Seizing on the outrage at President Donald Trump's response to the violence in Charlottesville, Va., Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) announced Thursday that he is introducing articles of impeachment against the president, saying Trump "has failed the presidential test of moral leadership."

Cohen had already expressed that he had no confidence in the president, when he introduced the Resolution of No Confidence last month.

“I have expressed great concerns about President Trump’s ability to lead our country in the Resolution of No Confidence (H.Res. 456) that I introduced in July with 29 of my colleagues; however, after the President’s comments on Saturday, August 12 and again on Tuesday, August 15 in response to the horrific events in Charlottesville, I believe the President should be impeached and removed from office," the congressman said in a statement on his website.

...saying Trump "has failed the presidential test of moral leadership."

There goes the Constitution out the window. Again.

Democrats are America's Islam. Antifa is their ISIS.

If what Bill Clintoon did in the Oval Office wasn’t impeachable, what the hell is this low grade SOB on when it comes to this?

Surprised it took this look. I was expecting them to set impeachment charges on the fact that Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream while everyone else only gets 1.

It’s not even grandstanding anymore, it’s like children standing behind adults at a family gathering yelling, “payattentiontomepayattentiontome!”

I am not going to say what I think of this guy or I would be banned and get a visit from the SS. I put up with 8 years and never once said that about the lefty dork we had for a leader. Now then, it is introduced but not up for vote. Ryan brings this up, and he then has to go.

So you want to impeach a president cause of what he said ? Too bad there is that Free Speech thingy in the way. Did the president lie ? They will get even more unhinged.

Stating the obvious has become an impeachable offense to some now.

For words? for not condemning ONLY the “right”? No matter what he was going to say he was going to be branded as racist. The media have changed what he said, and are stating that Trump is racist.

Since bammy was elected, I’ve known that half of the American public is moronic, and has its head up its collective a$$. That half believes this garbage.

“saying Trump “has failed the presidential test of moral leadership.””

Bwahaha! I guess the Representative thinks Bill Clinton introducing “oral sex” into the vocabulary of every grade schooler in the country was “education”.

Just goes to prove, on the LEFT a Crime is not required for removing a sitting President when they hate him. IMHO the GOP will jump on board - at least some of them like Flaky Flake and Juan McStain.

So moral leadership is not condemning Antifa and BLM?
