Activists hope to take impeachment fight to the streets

Women’s rights, gun control and climate change have drawn masses of demonstrators into the streets during President Donald Trump’s first term, but one prominent cause has been missing so far: impeachment.

Though some liberal groups have been advocating for Trump’s impeachment for more than two years, there have been few large-scale public demonstrations calling for it.

Now, activists want to change that.

A coalition of liberal groups announced Friday that it will sponsor a series of national impeachment marches, including one in Washington, D.C.

“People take action when they think they can make a difference, and for a long time a lot of the silent majority on impeachment thought it wasn’t going to happen,” said David Sievers, a campaign director of MoveOn, one of the liberal groups organizing the demonstrations. “We want to show that this isn’t just some fringe thing, this isn’t just Democrats in D.C.”

When the protests might happen, though, is unclear.

Sievers said the marches would occur the night before the House holds a formal impeachment vote. Currently, the House is in the initial stages of an impeachment inquiry, taking closed-door depositions, and no public hearings or vote have been scheduled.

The flurry of public mobilization comes after years of smaller-scale, more granular pushes by groups like MoveOn, which, ironically, was formed to combat former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment in 1998.

Any R senator that wants to hold their CUSHY, EASY, PORK LADEN “jobs” will not vote to boot Trump.

Let the animals protest and destroy the liberal cities they will be doing it in.

The irony is blinding.

“You don’t know me but I’m your brother...” (thanks a lot - now it’s stuck) ...:o)

[Savage Beast]

ANYTHING to stop the Light of Truth!

[griffin]

Let’s impeach Soro’s and his offspring - right over to Russia.

[VietVet876]

Let there be a thousand Tiananmen Squares on the streets of this country. Let the MSM gnash teeth and wail continuously. And Keep America Great at least through 2024.

[goldstategop]

Let them keep up with the partisan vendetta. Democrats don’t know when to stop.

They’re helping Trump far more than they’re hurting him.

[simpson96]

Dems and their freak shows...

[Pox]

This is the whole “strategy” the left has had since day 1.

Their game has simply been to attempt to generate outrage in the streets in order to depose President Trump.

You know, the crap they pulled in the 60’s. Their strategy has failed up to this point, but it's all they know, so they have to go with it.

Just like Brennan and the rest of those morons who have been attempting to frame President Trump. They're using decades old playbooks that have not kept up with modern times and technology, thus rendering their attempts ineffective in the end.

They'll likely be moving on to attempt their last chance, which is full on violence and an “Oswald event”.

[backwoods-engineer]

We are so numbed by the daily drumbeat, that we aren't even reacting any more.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS is all-but advocating violently attacking ones' political opponents! Did you ever think this would come to America?

I miss the old America, the one I grew up in.

[backwoods-engineer]

Sure is. MoveOn.org was founded to advocate that the country “move on” from the Clinton scandals, and not to impeach him. Now, they want to impeach Trump for NOTHING.
