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.

There are no good Nazis. There are no good Klansmen.

Missing from that list are "no good Communist agitators" who started the whole thing.

I believe the standard is “high crimes and misdemeanors.” So, which is it? These people have become parodies of themselves.

If the protestors were violent criminals like Antifa - why the hell not criticize them ?

Or is the new rule that if you are against "fascists" you can do anything you want with no accountability?

The grounds for impeachment are:

Tone of voice - I don’t like it.

You don’t get to testify in your defense, I will judge what you mean, despite whatever you might say. Revolutionary Justice! Get a rope!

This is the depth to which the left is falling - Fever dreams.

I liked it better when you posted about new jobs. Speaking of that, I thought I heard in passing that the jobs were up something like 232,000 this afternoon, but didn’t seem to hear much else on the matter. I guess C-ville, and the hope of Trump quitting &/or impeachment is more important.

Since Democrats are so upset over Donald Trump’s speaking up for the statues, maybe they should remember that the statues represent Democrats.

Insanity.

Yes, just today, during one of my maunderings over this whole thing, I had the thought that Donald Trump is the only sane man in the country.

Can't imagine why, given the media.

Steve Cohen-—don’t make me laugh, you pathetic imbecile. Oh wait. You already have. Since when can a president be impeached for a remark which happened to be the truth? But your hero and deity ODUNGO could pass $150 BILLION of our tax dollars under the table in the dark of night to enemies of our nation—Iran-—and no one heard a peep out of your precious mouth about impeaching him. Or when Hillary signed away 20% of our uranium to Russia. Or when Benghazi occurred, or when trainloads of illegal criminal invaders were imported by you into our country and thrust into unwilling neighborhoods. Or when ICE was forbidden to do the job they were supposed to do. Or when our military was deliberately weakened with untenable rules of engagement, starvation of funds, and using it as a sexual social experiment. Never heard a peep out of you about any of that. But a REMARK by Trump is grounds for impeachment? Go crawl back under your slime covered rock, you puking eunuch.

Yes, because the Russia collusion scam has fallen flat on it’s face. When this fails too, they will move on to the next scam.

The media and the left are becoming like the boy who cried wolf. Completely ignoring them would be the next step in this process. Let's hope more and more Americans see it this way and ignore them.
