"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace said Thursday that he "can feel goosebumps" during an impeachment resolution vote on the House floor during the network's live coverage of the event.
Wallace's commentary comes after the House made its biggest step to date toward the third presidential impeachment in the history of the United States. Members of the House approved procedures for an impeachment inquiry to be moved from closed-door hearings to the public view on television.
"As they called the vote, I have to say I can feel goosebumps," Wallace said. "You cannot overstate how dramatic this is and what a decision the Democrats have made to pursue this course."
The measure, which passed in a 232-196 vote along party lines, establishes rules for open hearings and the questioning of witnesses by members and staff.
Wallace said that an impeachment of Trump is decidedly different than that of President Nixon in 1974, which had bipartisan support.
"There was a bipartisan agreement at that time, even though obviously the impeachment of Richard Nixon was a big deal, but a bipartisan agreement that it needed to go to that kind of an investigation," Wallace, a 51-year news veteran, said Thursday.
"Here you see the party divisions holding, all the Democrats with the exception of I think two, voting for this inquiry, all of the Republicans I think with no defections voting against it, so this city is still polarized despite the efforts of Democrats and their closed-door hearings to try to build a case against the president," he continued.
"What will be interesting to see is what happens when we have open hearings and the American people get to judge and conceivable to put pressure on their representatives and either, 'Yep, there’s a case against the president' or 'Nope, there isn't.' But the Democrats have cast their die now and this is going to roll out over the next two months," Wallace concluded.
The two Democrats who voted against the resolution were Reps. Collin Peterson (Minn.) and Jeff Van Drew (N.J.), who both represent districts in blue states won by the president in 2016.
Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.), who broke from the GOP earlier this year, voted for the measure.
i feel nausea every time i see his name.
I think i would actually throw up if i ever see him on tv again, don’t think that will happen
.
House didn’t vote to formally vote to authorize impeachment. Why is Chris Wallace lying? Nothing of the kind happened today.
I think that’s justification enough for FNC management to fire him.
Get rid of this POS
His look, voice and self importance all disgusts me
BS Step 1 to BS Step 2 is not goosebump-worthy
When they actually send it to the Judiciary Committee, the Sh!t Status will be updated to “Real”.
I think that was the vibrator in Wallace’s butt plug being switched on.
Semantics. Impeachment will come soon enough from the House.
Kabuki Theatre.
This is why Shep left....
One gay loonie lefty. There isn’t room enough for two on Faux.
Good grief!
I wonder what he thought of his father’s famous (or infamous) interview with Anwar Sadat?
But he can’t feel his upper lip.It keep falling over itself.
I think I get what he’s saying. This is actually a big deal. It has officially become public. That means we’ll get all the “spartacus” moments recorded in front of God and everybody.
As Wallace said, the Democrats path’s die is cast now. There’s no backing out. Either they have real evidence or we see the biggest farce in our nation’s history exposed in broad daylight. Their only hope is to somehow break the internet, IMO.
We can hope it’s poison ivy.

The left racks up victories while the right simultaneously threatens and cowers.
Indeed. He’s not describing where his little goosie bumpies are now, is he?
Ah, journalism has sunk so low that we need scientific notation to fully describe the depth of their idiocy.
Look it up, Chris, it uses white guy math. You know, the stuff that caused you to pursue a marshmallow degree in journalism or whatever.
