Andrew McCarthy: Trump has committed an impeachable offense

I took a beating on Twitter Thursday night for making what I thought was a commonsense observation that President Trump should be negotiating favorable terms for resignation "if there are 20 GOP senators who’d vote to impeach."

In our current climate, this was taken as a call for Trump’s impeachment. But it wasn’t a value judgment. It was a mathematical calculation.

As it happens, I do think the president has committed an impeachable offense, making a reckless speech that incited a throng on the mall, which foreseeably included an insurrectionist mob.

These rioters ended up overwhelming security forces and storming the Capitol. They shut down a solemn constitutional proceeding, endangering the lives of the vice president and the people’s representatives. They ripped through the facility, causing not only significant property damage but grave injuries.

Please rip this NeverTrumper and the NR a new one.

[facedown]

The list of traitors just grows.

Andrew McCarthy: Disagree with you.

[Phillyred]

Go to @#$! Hell

[Williams]

Making a reckless speech?

Impeachable?

And by the way genius, the senators don’t impeach.

[AndyJackson]

How quickly this has devolved from the undertaking of their great founder.

[sauropod]

Hes a turdblossom.

'Peach 45!

Seriously, breathing is not an impeachable offense.

[dainbramaged]

Pathetic little soy bitches over there at National Review - next to the greatest president of my lifetime, Donald J. Trump - they are about the size of a rat dropping.

Wow....who is NOT in the Jim Jones/DS/DC Cabal Kool-Aid drinking camp, at this point?

Utter nonsense, from a dumb wuss.

You know Andrew, the next innocent speech these folks might go after could be your own.

Aaaand there's the author, right in the middle of the signatories:

[Williams]

These people describe what happened at the Capitol as if that makes the president legally responsible for it.

Biden supported the much more violent attack on the White House.

This is bs.

[Hojczyk]

These people are all cowards...there afraid of the mob..

[Uncle Miltie]

NR into the breach yet again for the Deep State...

[MileHi]

Andy lost me quite a while ago.

I took a beating on Twitter Thursday night

I’ll bet he enjoyed every minute of it.

[Williams]

Glad he made an observation on Twitter where the president has been censored.
Isn’t that a wonderful country he lives in.
