Nancy Pelosi: ‘Doesn’t Matter’ if Impeachment Cost Democrats the House

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Saturday that pursuing an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump is worth House Democrats losing a majority.

Appearing at the Texas Tribune’s Tribune Fest, Pelosi stated it’s more important for Congress to uphold its duty of holding the president accountable than maintaining power over the lower chamber.

“It doesn’t matter,” Pelosi replied when asked by Tribune CEO Evan Smith if she harbors any “anxiety” over the Democrats’ ability to keep the House if their impeachment inquiry goes awry.

“Our first responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” said the speaker.

“People say you have to take a political risk doing that,” she went on. “That doesn’t matter. Because we cannot have a president of the United States undermining his oath of office, his loyalty to his oath of office, undermining our national security, and undermining the integrity of our elections.”

President Trump lambasted critics of the call in a pair of tweets Saturday, writing: “The Whistleblower’s complaint is completely different and at odds from my actual conversation with the new President of Ukraine.

“The conversation with the new and very good Ukraine President, who told the Fake News, at the United Nations, that HE WAS NOT PRESSURED BY ME IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, should by and of itself bring an end to the new and most recent Witch Hunt. Others ended in ashes!” the president added.

Then so be it. I hope and pray the Democrats lose the house of representatives.

Barr must really have the goods.

The refrain ‘how do you know when XYZ is lying? Their lips are moving’ can be over used. However, with San Fran Nan Pelousy, it is a scientific description of the present Speaker of the House of Representatives. The main thing Pelousy ‘represents’ is the leftist creepozoid lust for power. Another San Francisco democRAT stated about elections ‘if we don’t win, we don’t eat.’ The idea of earning money by actually working is anathema to these creepozoids.

I think Pelosi’s comments here are good evidence that she’s being forced to do this as a way to extract the far left influence out of the RAT Party, which is pretty much on life support at the point.

Somewhere is a list of about 40 or so freshman RAT Reps in swing districts (such as mine : NJ 11) who are ripe for being primaried over this BS.

Wow! This is rich.

Pelosi, who routinely violates the Constitution, saying it must be upheld, on a course that moves toward the destruction of the Constitution.

Utter insanity.

This is what happens when a party believes reality is optional.

The Democrats believe reality is optional.

Then, again, wasn’t it in 2012, where the Democrat convention rejected God, three times consecutively.

“Our first responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” said the speaker.

I wish that petty tyrant and her entire anti-American globalist party sincerely felt that way about the entire Constitution, including the First Amendment's free exercise of religion, the Second Amendment's God-given right to keep and bear arms, and the rest of the Bill of Rights.

“Impeachment Cost Democrats the House”

Good. Give up now.

[alexander_busek]

And then, when she finally recognizes that their case is hopeless, she can make an announcement that the Dem. Party is not going to pursue impeachment - for the good of the Nation!

What would matter is if the Democrats didn’t lose the House over this. That would mean the country really is going down the drain.

[alloysteel]

The old heifer is going to get her horns busted, that is for sure.

But Nancy lost control a while back. She is a helpless pawn in the control of the Squad of Four.

Mob rule, soon to be followed by no rule at all, utter chaos.

The stampede does not care about the cliff ahead.

"Because we cannot have a president of the United States undermining his oath of office, his loyalty to his oath of office, undermining our national security, and undermining the integrity of our elections.”

I'm confused. Is she talking about hitlery? Or barry?

[FlipWilson]

Trump was on target with his message this Saturday:

“They want to impeach me because I am fighting for you. I am draining the swamp and they don’t like it. They are the swamp.”

Dead on winning message that will resonate with the voters more than any message I can think of in my lifetime.

“Our first responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” said the speaker.

The Constitution, yet another written document which, like the ACA, Pelosi has never bothered to read.

What a laugher!

If they fail to convict (because they will impeach, it's a foregone conclusion), and the lose the House, Nancy says it will have been worth it, because it's a matter of principle.

Nancy owes me a keyboard!
