Senate Democrat calls for Trump impeachment after election claims
The Hill ^ | 07/17/2026 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 07/19/2026 4:21:56 AM PDT by DFG

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) late Thursday called on Congress to impeach President Trump after the president claimed during a primetime address that forces that stole the 2020 presidential election are still at work and threaten the integrity of the 2026 midterm elections.

Trump used words such as “rigged and stolen,” “corrupt” and “cover-up” and cited some recently declassified documents to support his alarming claims, though critics in both parties say he still failed to substantiate his central contention that U.S. elections are marred by widespread fraud.

“Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections,” Markey declared on the social platform X.

“And when he sends ICE agents to the polls, then we must turn civic action into civil disobedience and take to the streets. Sit in. Protest. Withhold our labor. Everything must be on the table,” Markey urged.

Trump earlier Thursday evening said that newly released documents show that during a period of five years starting during the 2020 election cycle, the Chinese government acquired 220 million U.S. voter files.

Critics of Trump’s claims, however, point out that information on U.S. voters is publicly available or can be purchased from states.

And Trump alleged that members of the “deep state” have worked to “suppress and downplay information about the extent of China’s sinister election meddling.”

Trump said the Chinese government wanted him to lose the 2020 presidential election and that “raw intelligence” obtained by the FBI in 2020 stated that Beijing even attempted to manufacture illegal ballots for former President Biden, who beat Trump in the election.

Another classic case of the truly guilty screaming the way they are.

They screamed that Russia helped Trump win from 2016 to 2020, but when we say China helped him lose, that’s a crime? The nerve of these disgusting freaks never fails to amaze me. They ought not to have been born at all.

Advise to Sen Markey. Be careful what you wish for.

There’s probably a number of motivations at play here. The most effective way to get your name widely circulated is to say something anti-Trump. Even the regular person interviewed in the street will be assured of a few seconds on the news if he says something anti-Trump. Also, as a Democrat, something anti-Trump will receive accolades instead of jeers. There’s nothing...no policy announcement, no social statement a Democrat can make that won’t net him an attack by one or more cadres under their big tent. Something pro-trans will really upset lesbians. Something pro-Hispanic will likely cause the race baiters to react badly. The safest thing to do is attack Trump. One wonders what they’ll attack when he’s gone.

Has Markey looked at the documents or is the Democrat game plan to just ssay Trump is lying?

He should be more worried about how Marxists now control his party - unless that’s OK with him.
