Rep. Nancy Mace: There Was a Bipartisan Effort to Look at Censuring Trump, But Pelosi Wouldn’t Allow It (IMPEACHMENT HELD HOSTAGE - DAY 32)

(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that there was a “bicameral, bipartisan effort” to look at censuring President Donald Trump, which she said would hold him accountable and prohibit him from holding office again, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) wouldn’t bring it up for a vote.

“Well, one of the things, one of the options that was on the table last week when we were going through the impeachment, getting up to D.C. for that, was that there was a bicameral, bipartisan effort to look at censure as an option. That would one, hold the president accountable for his words and his actions and two, also prohibit from holding office again in the future,” she said.

“Unfortunately, the speaker wouldn't let us bring it up for debate or bring it up for a vote. There were measures, there were folks in place in both chambers, in both parties, that were willing to do that and go that far, but unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity at all last week,” the congresswoman said.

Mace, who voted against impeaching the president, said she’s concerned like Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) is that more facts will come to light in the future and it will put her on the wrong side of the debate.

If you really believe that, you should join me and vote Democrat. Why take the chance that the Rinos can stay in power?

Give the Dems the rope, and let them destroy the police and the military so that we can more easily succeed in the next civil war.

Impeachment was done to keep Trump quiet, hand impeachment to chuckie and vote Trump out before inaugural. Keeps Trump from exposing corruption or imposing martial law before inaugural, that’s the only reason for impeachment.

More than that, Nancy will just hold that article as a coersion to keep Trump from holding public rallies after he leaves office. That way, he cannot work to have the Rinos defeated in 2022.

I hope he calls their bluff. Yes, he might get convicted and barred from office, but he will become more powerful that he could ever be as president.
