If there are legal grounds to support it, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jenny Wilson said Monday that she "will support moving toward impeachment" of President Donald Trump.
"If the (special counsel Robert) Mueller report comes out with a grounds toward impeachment, I think we are in such chaos as a nation, we cannot heal until he's gone," Wilson told the editorial boards of the Deseret News and KSL.
That said, Wilson said she awaits the release of the Mueller report on the yearlong investigation into the president's conduct. "I'm not favoring impeachment at this moment in time," she said.
But in the past five days, she feels the country has come to "a breaking point."
"Until he's gone, we're going nowhere," she said.
In Wilson's various roles as a candidate, a Salt Lake County councilwoman and a mother, she puts Trump's actions "to the reasonableness lens and he's never passed it. Then you take in the insults, the division, and I just can't give him a pass anymore."
Wilson said she wants to be a "change agent," in Congress.
Decades have passed since there has been any meaningful immigration reform by Congress, she said.
"We have to find a pathway forward. We have no other choice. I think it is irresponsible not to address people here, people who have been working and living in the community. Government needs to find a way for them to get out of the shadows. Taking emotion out, it's a cost-benefit risk analysis, where and how can we get beyond this division," she said.
While emotion tends to drive the immigration debate, Wilson said the best policy approaches are evidenced based.
"The economic principles of expanding immigration are really the key, looking at where and how we need workers," she said.
Were she elected to the U.S. Senate, she would be a junior senator from Utah, one of 100, she acknowledged. "But I do think, over time, a new voice, a new vision," she said.
"One of my problems with (Republican Mitt) Romney is, he's the same ol' and I'm seeing more and more and of that on this campaign. I'm frankly more and more frustrated by his lack of engagement and his sort of high-level answer to stuff. We need to get in the weeds," she said.
The Romney campaign declined to comment.
The latest UtahPolicy.com poll shows Wilson trailing Romney 29 percent to 55 percent.
She’s moving to the right of Mitt, eh ?
One problem: there are no legal grounds.
.
Glenn Beck was the first to call Trump - Hitler, and his supporters Nazis and Brown shirts.
I have no doubt it’ll come out of Utah.

Nope. Tim Aalders is the Constitution Party candidate.

[”Until he’s gone, we’re going nowhere,” she said. ]
These people are insane.
I’m gobsmacked by what idiots democrats are. They all seem to want to get on camera to compete for the most moronic statement.
Guess she doesn’t care about the half dozen black people in Utah that saw their unemployment rate drop.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. She's an idiot and liar. It is the Demagogic Party that is 100 percent responsible for the division and intolerance of American society.
Hahahaha Bada-Bing!!!
That does not matter in the slightest way.
Impeachment is a political process, not a judicial process. They could (and would) impeach President Trump "for being a Republican".
This is the fever dream of the Left.
We must not let them get a chance to try it.
I cant believe that any candidate in Utah would even dare to mention such an absurdity as impeaching PDJT
gotta be a real loser
It’s okay to break the law, but it isn’t okay for anyone to enforce the law. BWAHAhahaha!
I wonder which part of California she grew up in?
I don't care who ya' are, that there's funny.
I wonder if something connected with Mueller will be the October Surprise.
I'm sure Mueller is aware of the importance of an October surprise too, so I expect he'll pull something. Perhaps he'll indict Baron Trump for having watched Bulwinkle once several years ago.
Couldn't agree more. Deport them all now. End the anchor baby loophole, end chain migration, use e-verify, fix the H-1B visa problem, and make the penalty for hiring illegals cost prohibitive. Oh; and build/fund the damn wall and more Border Patrol.
Does the asylum know this fool is loose? Put out a BOLO on her, preferable around he neck.
Now watch the lib trolls go beserk after they look up the word BOLO. Or perhaps, they will stop at Bolero and ogle Bo Derek for the rest of their pathetic lives.
I do believe there are those who believe what they want to believe... if it fits, then it’s their truth. They must be very slow, ignorant, stubborn, can’t look at any other opinion or facts, but their own.. they are shallow and empty of common sense and brains.
obama believes his own lies.. I think he actually thinks he’s the best thing going and anything he says is truth just because he said it.
These anti Trump nuts who want to impeach... what is the charge? What would they do this on what grounds? They just don’t like him? And their opinion is the only one allowed? Do they know how much we wanted obama impeached... to get him out of control... and he DID do things that were worthy of going down that road.
This adjustable justice they have made the law of their land, is either going to be stopped or it will tear our country apart. This ain’t working their way! I do think it’s aboutt to hit the fan... whichever way it goes, it’s about to the boiling point. Of course, there are obvious crimes and criminals... proof in documents... but hey, they can’t be touched.. just the President...
God Bless the United States amd all who are reaching out to the Heavens for help for our nation!
