White House contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Thursday that Congress will have “no choice” but to begin impeachment proceedings if President Donald Trump continues to fight subpoenas issued by House Democrats.

“It is obvious that the President is a pathological liar who does not understand the Constitution,” the self-avowed Democratic-socialist wrote on Twitter. “The fact is that if Mr. Trump continues to disregard the right of Congress to subpoena, he will leave House Members with no choice but to begin an impeachment inquiry.”

Other White House hopefuls such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have leaned more heavily towards beginning impeachment proceedings against President Trump, saying after the Mueller report’s release that the special counsel, “put the next step in the hands of Congress.”

Where does it say the constitution does not apply when it comes to Trump? I guess I do not understand the constitution ether.

Bernie has nothing to do with other impeachment. He’s a senator.

That's funny, coming from a poor-man's communist.

This guy seems really on the level. Maybe he should run for president of something.

It is obvious that this is all only going to be settled with firepower and blood running very deeply in the streets.

I doubt many of the newbies in the House fully understand what IMPEACHMENT is. I am beginning to think they believe if they impeach the President he is out of office.

If they do managed to vote articles of impeachment I think many are going to be surprised that the President is still in the White House.

Stupid heads will explode.

It has been established that a subpoena is a mere suggestion. The House issued countless subpoenas during the last session. When they were ignored nothing happened.

//////////////////
He had better not be the deciding Senate vote for removal from office after Pelosi’s House votes to impeach in a few months.

I have to stay awake so I won’t have a nightmare over crazy Bernie having “no choice” but to destroy Trump.

As the TV news split screen shows cities in flames.
