"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, there’s 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.
Except that there's not a racial element involved which is always -- always -- required by the Left. So Chrissy W. is not following to the letter the Left's playbook and therefore must be shunned (except for the Left to report that a "conservative on Fox" backs impeachment).
These are disgusting, ruthless people we on the Right are dealing with.
But the media aren’t biased. No way. LOL
Who the hell would watch the this stupid douch bag.
Maybe him and Chrissy Matthews can compare notes......Wallace’s goosebumps or Chrissy’s stream up his leg.....LOSERS!
Bill Hemmer did a great job filling in this ASSHATS voice alone is unbearable, I watched when Hemmer, and Galeger filled in I now change the channel again!!! Maybe their ratings will change their course of p7tting Wall Ass there!!!
Can we can confirm Chris Wallace isn’t a pedophile? I don’t think we can.... investigate this potential pedophile immediately!
I hang my head in shame for him.
Hope Fox is enjoying the huge drop in viewership and terrible rep they’ve developed for themselves over the last few years.
Never liked the guy and never watch him. He should go with Shep.
Chrissy Wallace probably had his hand run up Chrissy Matthews leg.
That's why the goosebumps.
Make the bad man go away!
Is it going up his leg the stupid dope
Is it going up his leg the stupid dope
HAS ANYONE SAID WHAT ACTUAL CRIME THERE WAS?
“Get rid of this POS
His look, voice and self importance all disgusts me”
You beat me to it. I can’t stand that puke. Or Kavuto or Williams or Whorealdo or...….
House didn’t vote to formally vote to authorize impeachment. Why is Chris Wallace lying?
This is exactly what the Dems want the MSM to do and say Trump was Impeached ,just wait until the Commie Squad and Max Maxine get going
And this is why Fox News is going down the toilet..no wonder Catherine Herridge left..cant say I blame her
And that voice—nails on a chalkboard time seven!
He always gets goose bumps when Big Mike gets behind him.
