Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy (R) says it's inevitable that Democrats will try to impeach President Trump if they retake the House in the fall, adding that the media would pressure lawmakers into supporting impeachment.
In an interview with Milwaukee radio host Dan O'Donnell, Duffy said that while Democrats in more purple districts are hesitant to say they will support Trump's impeachment, he believes it will happen if the party defeats enough Republicans in November.
"Democrat candidates might be sketchy about admitting that, especially in more 50-50 seats, but of course they're going to impeach Donald Trump," Duffy said. "Do you think that MSNBC or CNN would allow for anything less? And by the way, there aren't that many Blue Dog Democrats left in Congress. They are radical leftist, socialist Democrats. They are like [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.]. They are far-left people."
Duffy went on to say the Democratic base would not accept anything less than impeachment proceedings if Democrats had control.
"That's who's winning their primaries," he said. "Do you think that the far-left 'resist' movement base of the Democrat Party would accept anything other than impeachment?"
Fifty-eight Democrats voted in December to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump, a move that has yet to gain support among Democratic leadership.
The strongest source of support for articles of impeachment has been among the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), just under two-thirds of which supported impeachment in December. Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the third-ranking Democrat in the House and a CBC member, is the highest-ranking lawmaker to back impeachment.
“We thought that it was necessary for us to demonstrate, as members of the Congress, our displeasure with the president,” Clyburn said in January.
Democrats need 24 seats to retake the House in November, when every member of the 435-member body will be up for reelection. Recent generic House polls suggest that Democrats could lead by more than 7 points, according to the RealClearPolitics average.
I’ve got a bad feeling about several of the House seats in MN.
Umm just a little info there are 2 houses in the Legislature, Hose and Senate. One starts it and the other must vote to actually remove him from office
So if you are gonna post click bait like this you may want to add a little research and truth before everyone starts piling on with yeah yeah comments
God is in control and the darkness is on the run, that is my opinion and if you really look beyond the trash being peddling to get your eyes to view it the indicators are all there of a far more motivated Republican base versus the other
If the charges are constitutionslly phony, i.e., not treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors, the Senate could simply refuse to accept them.
From now on, anyone who is elected President will automatically be impeached if the opposing party takes the House.
No matter what.
It will pretty much be a rite of passage.
How about if all we Trump supporters , like the Dems , refuse to accept any outcome of this election that we don’t like ? And mount a long term ‘resistance’ . How aboth if we hound them everywhere and anywhere they appear , work , or live?
How about all Trumpians , who are young enough , motivated enough , stirred up enough and well armed enough , start talking in these terms and preparing in the same way ?
Let them know what they will face ‘if’ they win .
Just exactly like they have done to us .
There’s an old saying , “ What go around come around “
If they think they are the only ones that can play these games , they had better think again . They don;t care what anyone thinks of how they behave , and how they have behaved for the last 2 years . Why then should WE give a rip?
What think ye ?
Game on
Will Dems succumb to lust for power and their natural intense hatred and impeach Trump?
Is the Pope a....a.....
We can’t use line that any longer after his wearing an LGBTQ rainbow pendant, making cracks against Trump and championing progressives and environmentalists to overthrow the evils of capitalism. He’s one of the socialist crowd and not too much into that Catholic Bible stuff.
And we don’t know if can find a Port-a-John in the woods so the Big Lebowsky guy may be right.
You are absolutely correct. God is in control and after witnessing His power in 2016 with President Trump’s impossible victory I am certain he will sustain us during this election.
Yeah. For the first time in the history of the Church, the answer to the age-old question, “Is the Pope Catholic?”, is “No. No, he isn’t.”
I have bad feelings all over the place but we have to keep our faith and keep praying and get friends to the polls and win these seats.
No holding back—get people to vote.
MAGA
If they do take the House, they will impeach. Probably once every couple of months. The Senate will never convict but have to find a way for the circus performance at each trial to be very time limited. A couple of years of that nonsense will ensure they never have control of the House again.
bkmk
God is in control.....
But God is in control as you said. His Plan has a role for each of us but we have to work to discover that role and fill it. We may think one path is blocked and that’s to punish us but then we find the path that opened led to much better things after all (like a failed relationship heartbreak and then a wonderful new one with someone else).
It is so hard now but we have to trust God and work to MAGA no matter what.
And in the meantime trump continues to put more conservatives on the federal bench.
Have your little fun, Nancy
Makes it even more important to add seats to the Senate....holding the House would be a real boon and maybe demoralize them into the next century...
Well, we will just have to “get in their faces” and chase them out of public places. Isn’t that how they taught us to do politics in America now? Their rules.
