"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace said Thursday that he "can feel goosebumps" during an impeachment resolution vote on the House floor during the network's live coverage of the event.
Wallace's commentary comes after the House made its biggest step to date toward the third presidential impeachment in the history of the United States. Members of the House approved procedures for an impeachment inquiry to be moved from closed-door hearings to the public view on television.
"As they called the vote, I have to say I can feel goosebumps," Wallace said. "You cannot overstate how dramatic this is and what a decision the Democrats have made to pursue this course."
The measure, which passed in a 232-196 vote along party lines, establishes rules for open hearings and the questioning of witnesses by members and staff.
Wallace said that an impeachment of Trump is decidedly different than that of President Nixon in 1974, which had bipartisan support.
"There was a bipartisan agreement at that time, even though obviously the impeachment of Richard Nixon was a big deal, but a bipartisan agreement that it needed to go to that kind of an investigation," Wallace, a 51-year news veteran, said Thursday.
"Here you see the party divisions holding, all the Democrats with the exception of I think two, voting for this inquiry, all of the Republicans I think with no defections voting against it, so this city is still polarized despite the efforts of Democrats and their closed-door hearings to try to build a case against the president," he continued.
"What will be interesting to see is what happens when we have open hearings and the American people get to judge and conceivable to put pressure on their representatives and either, 'Yep, theres a case against the president' or 'Nope, there isn't.' But the Democrats have cast their die now and this is going to roll out over the next two months," Wallace concluded.
The two Democrats who voted against the resolution were Reps. Collin Peterson (Minn.) and Jeff Van Drew (N.J.), who both represent districts in blue states won by the president in 2016.
Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.), who broke from the GOP earlier this year, voted for the measure.
so the guy that made up the impeachment rules was himself impeached and removed in 1989 ?
Question:......
Will we allow the deep state actors, who have corrupted a vast portion of our government, get away with ending our Republic??
Will we fight to keep it? Are we who call ourselves PATRIOTS still willing to take up arms, to fight and to die for this dream we call America?
Are there still those who know what is at stake here....at stake now!?
That’s right. And they think they must impress their fellow Leftists. Peer pressure is strong on them and they don’t dare think for themselves.
Wallace just a chip off the old block.
As we all know this is just an excuse to continue the Mueller investigation, so they can keep demanding documents and keep fishing, abusing their positions, this will be the SLOWEST impeachment process in history. They need it to be never ending until they find SOMETHING they could actually justify an impeachment vote on.
Which is beyond disgusting. It’s a gross violation of due process and everything the Constitution stands for.
Like a thrill up your leg?
I’d like to give him a ‘feeling’ he wouldn’t soon get over nor forget! Hey Chrisy...all you media scum hate our country and our President and love this sh*tful of BS tearing us all apart! You are one sick selfish pitiful b*st*rd! Make some more money, get more air time, witness history, and be more famous!
YOU ARE RIGHT - this is a charade and we all should be in DC marching or________________ it down!
Halloween - the trick and treat is on who PEOPLE!
This puny, effeminate, sniveling weasel is a disgrace to objective journalism, and a living reminder of the profound failures often associated with second-generation occupational nepotism. If it weren’t for Dead Daddy Mike, this loser of the genetic lottery would have been a florist or an interior decorator.
He failed to mention there was no crime committed by Donald Trump.
He also fails to mention all the crimes of the Bidens, clintons, Pelosi etc.
Because Wallace, just like his father, is an idiot.
“You cannot overstate how dramatic this is...”
Just a few years ago, the action would be called corrupt, not dramatic.
I only watch Tucker anymore.
the biggest farce in our nations history

That would be the Kenyanesian Usurpation
