Articles of Impeachment Against Trump Coming Over Charlottesville

Articles Of Impeachment Brought For Third Time Against Republican Donald Trump

Polls have now shown a majority of Americans thought the response to the Charlottesville domestic terror attack by Republican Donald Trump was incredibly weak. Despite that reality, Trump has now tripled down on his affinity for the traitorous past of the Confederacy with another early morning Tweet storm in support of the statues representing that ugly history. Now, it appears one Democrat has had enough of the dog whistles and will introduce articles of impeachment against Trump over his continued olive branches to white supremacists.

Democrat Steve Cohen of Tennessee posted a statement on Twitter that he will introduce articles of impeachment today against Trump for his response to the Charlottesville attack. The statement specifically pointed to Trump’s responses to the terror attack and flatly stated:

I believe the President should be impeached and removed from office. Instead of unequivocally condemning hateful actions by neo-Nazis, white nationalists and Klansmen following a national tragedy, the President said ‘there were very fine people on both sides.’ There are no good Nazis. There are no good Klansmen. Cohen goes on to describe the comparisons he saw between Charlottesville and disgusting events of the past, like “Kristallnacht in 1938 in Nazi Germany”. He then hammers Trump for his lack of morality in this situation and, in Cohen’s opinion, his clear unwillingness to forcefully denounce violent white supremacists.

President Trump has failed the presidential test of moral leadership. No moral president would ever shy away from outright condemning hate, intolerance and bigotry. No moral president would ever question the values of Americans protesting in opposition of such actions, one of whom was murdered by one of the white nationalists…President Trump has shown time and time again that he lacks the ethical and moral rectitude to be President of the United States. Not only has he potentially obstructed justice and potentially violated the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause, but he has also shown that he is incapable or unwilling to protect Americans from enemies, foreign and domestic. Neo-Nazis and the KKK are domestic terrorists. If the President can’t recognize the difference between these domestic terrorists and the people who oppose their anti-American attitudes, then he cannot defend us.

Much like the other articles of impeachment that have been brought against Donald Trump in his brief time in office, this will likely go nowhere in the Republican controlled House. But it’s clear folks are getting tired of the dog whistles and Trump’s inability to attack hate in the same way he attacks celebrities and morning talk show hosts. Once again, Trump’s mouth has put him in hot water.

Apparently telling the truth is an impeachable offense, but Obama never denouncing BLM wasn’t.

I also like to cover politics, such as this article. I’m drawn to jobs because I was a career counselor, recruiter and human resources person.

LOL.

Another delusional commie from the land of crooked teeth, multigenerational inbred “royalty” and completely and voluntarily disarmed wimpy “men” spews utter nonsense.

If the Democrats are stupid enough to bring an Impeachment Bill before the House on this or any other bullsh*t issue, we should have a “Support The President” demonstration completely surrounding the Capitol Hill, 24/7, until it is withdrawn. Pitchforks, boiling tar, feathers and torches optional.

I’m serious this time.

Like it makes any sense whatsoever that he should be impeached for repeatedly denouncing racism, hatred and violence.

” The president said ‘there were very fine people on both sides.’ “


My God,what a dreadful thing to say,”There were very fine people on both sides”. I hope no children heard that.

Impeachment and then send him to Devil’s Island./s

(Is Steve Cohen a moron,or what.?)

Some black congressman has done the same. So that’s two counting this self-loathing Caucasian wheatgrass-smoothy drinker.

This has nothing to do with impeachment, although I’m sure the rebuki party would go along with it. This 7 month long leftist tirade is to discredit, demoralize and dehumanize Trump.
They don’t care how he’s taken out, just so long that he is...

The 3rd time in half a year of being in office????? The insanity of what is happening in Washington is beyond me. They must be neck deep in corruption that would put the rest of us in jail to be this afraid.

This idiot Congressman said, “Instead of unequivocally condemning hateful actions by neo-Nazis, white nationalists and Klansmen following a national tragedy, the President said ‘there were very fine people on both sides.’

What was Trump’s first statement?

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides. It’s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time.”
