Trump slams conservative columnist for urging Congress to censure him [Peggy Noonan]
NY Post ^ | June 2, 2019 | 4:09pm | Mark Moore

President Trump ripped conservative columnist Peggy Noonan in a tweet Sunday for suggesting that Congress censure him for attempting to obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation instead of trying to impeach him. ​ President Trump ripped conservative columnist Peggy Noonan in a tweet Sunday for suggesting that Congress censure him for attempting to obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation instead of trying to impeach him. ​ ​”Peggy Noonan, the simplistic writer for Trump Haters all, is stuck in the past glory of Reagan and has no idea what is happening with the Radical Left Democrats, or how vicious and desperate they are​,” Trump wrote in a posting. “Mueller had to correct his ridiculous statement, Peggy never understood it!​”

Noonan, a former speech writer for President Reagan, ​said impeachment would only divide the country even more and ultimately result in it faltering in the Republican-controlled Senate.

“Congressional censure would be a formal registering not of Congress’s political disapproval but its moral disapproval​,” she wrote in the column that appeared in the Wall Street Journal and The Post, recalling how Sen. Joe McCarthy was censured in 1954.

“Republicans, who control the Senate, wouldn’t vote to remove the president, but to morally disapprove of him? They would​,” she continued. “There’s plenty of suppressed resentment there at how he’s mortified them and lowered things.​”​

My thoughts exactly.

One thing about Trump, he has really shown me who really is conservative and those that are more interested in their little groups like Kristol.

All I had to read is the headline. Noonan is no conservative.

Wasn’t Noonan enamored of the 0bomb?

Peggy Noonan did one worthy thing in her life. In the end she tried to fix a bio of Ronald Reagan, and it's obvious she admired Reagan a great deal.

Otherwise, what has she ever done to convince anyone she was a conservative? She loved the clintons, both of them. It seems like she thought obama worthy, although for me, that's a feeling more than based on her columns.

To call Peggy Noonan a conservative is less apt that calling George Will a conservative. At least Will was once. When he shilled for Hillary he created an obstacle for himself that probably can't be breached.

At least Will shilled for hillary because he was a never-Trumper. Noonan said out loud in a column regarding the clintons that she loved these two. That makes Noonan and conservative oxymoronic in the same sentence.

Trump is wrong on this.

Peggy has never been a conservative.

Why is that word used so loosely? Most of those who call themselves conservatives are nowhere near what a true conservative is.

She’s long been past her prime. Time to start treating her for TDSyndrome and reduced relevancy syndrome (RRS).

Trump didn’t use the word. The NY Post did.

There’s plenty of suppressed resentment there at how he’s mortified them and lowered things.

I don't understand how anyone could possibly lower "things" compared to the despicable behavior of the Bush family. For example, were the lives of any innocent people in danger whenever Jenna Bush allegedly ran red lights to ditch her Secret Service detail?

“censure him for attempting to obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation”

Except that he went out of his way to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation.

Noonan is a tight-assed bitch and needs to shut up.

On my. The Senate is “mortified” that Trump has “lowered” things.

Muffy, please pass the Grey Poupon.

I’m so over these ‘Republican’ idiots that place Party over people. Noonan can KMA.
