“Myself and six other members of the freshman class in Congress, all former military or former CIA, wrote a joint op-ed and came out in support of an impeachment inquiry,” Slotkin said during a town hall. “And I wanted you to know from me — I wanted you to know from me.”

Slotkin’s comments were greeted with mostly boos and a smattering of cheers. At one point, a constituent told Slotkin that the freshman congresswoman lost her support when she turned against the president.

“When you fell of the cliff for me was when you joined the coup against our president,” the woman said.

Another man ripped Slotkin and Democrats for rushing to impeach Trump.

“What’s the rush with the impeachment?” the man asked. “Impeachment is a serious thing. This would be only the fourth president in history to be impeached. And to try to impeach him on something like this is really stretching it.”

Slotkin represents a district which Trump won by 4% in 2016, and she is expected to be a top 2020 target for Republicans as they aim to take back the House.

She looks like an older version of the Swedish brat Thunberg.

Only two presidents have been impeached, Andrew Johnson and William Clinton. Both were acquitted. Nixon was never impeached because he resigned before the vote to impeach was made.

I thought that Nancy said if we have to lose the house, that’s OK, Trump is such a danger that getting rid of him is more important than retaining the house. So some of these Dems will be thrown under the bus.

“...all former military or former CIA..”

Which one was this hog? Either way she’s violated her oath. Former CIA is as bad as former FBI from Obama’s years. Ex-miltary is even worse.
