For the Record: Democrats Called For Last 4 GOP Presidents To be Impeached
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Jim Hoft

While the lying mainstream makes it seem that Democrats are onto something with impeachment talk of President Trump, they fail to show that Democrats have called for the impeachment of GOP presidents in ‘81, ’83, ’84, ’91, ’04, ‘05, and ‘07.

Investors Business Daily reported:

The fact that some Democrats are already calling for the impeachment of President Trump is hardly news. What is news is the fact that even some ardent liberals are worried that reflexively jumping on the impeachment bandwagon is folly.

According to a list compiled by CNN, 27 Democrats have so far come out in favor of impeaching Trump. What they don’t provide is context. For 36 years, Democrats have routinely called for impeaching Republican presidents at the drop of a hat.

Here is a sampling:

On May 1, 1981, thousands of protesters marched in Washington to denounce President Reagan’s economic and social policies. The event was billed as ”Days of Resistance to Roll Back Reaganism.” (Sound familiar?) At the event, at least two speakers called for impeaching Reagan.

”Our purpose is to turn this country around,” one said. ”Getting rid of Reagan is the first step.”

In early 1983, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., said Reagan should be impeached “for incompetence.” Later that year, he called for impeaching Reagan over his military action in Grenada.

Jesse Jackson wanted Reagan impeached in 1984 for mining Nicaragua’s harbors. Texas Rep. Henry Gonzalez and six other Democrats introduced a resolution to impeach Reagan in 1987 over the Iran-Contra affair…

Democratic politicians know that President Trump is being very effective at implementing his campaign promises and they will do whatever is necessary to stop him. They do not care about America!

The radical left has called for the impeachment of the last 5 dully elected Republican Presidents including Richard Milhous Nixon. They also always engage in days of rage and mass protests under ever Republican administration. It is nothing new.

Better go back and check McCain and Graham’s records too. Might find something surprising there too.

All good points. I would add that it is not only the radical left that is calling for the impeachment of Trump but mainstream Democrats and the MSM. There were calls for the impeachment of Trump before he was even inaugurated which shows you how hysterical and shrill the Democrats have become.

Well, they only won one out of five, so that’s a good thing.

And they sound like a broken record and that’s an even BETTER thing for 2018.

Most democrats, like most muslims are always in a rage over something, and if they don’t get their way throw tantrums until the GOP caves. Just my personal opinion and it is so sickening to watch over and over again.

Well, Clinton was impeached and there were plenty in the base calling to impeach Obama.

So basically every president since Nixon has had tbe other side wanting them impeached.

For the record, I don't give a flying rat's butt about the Left, except that this time they have some phony conservative never Trumpers in their corner, plus all the Leftists Obama packed into the bureaucracy, plus the media feeling more empowered than ever to try to take down a Republican president...again.

Somehow, some way, WE -- you and I and others on the Right -- must not let that happen.

And the irony is that the only two presidents actually impeached were both Democrats.
