Meadows: Dems Wore All Black During Impeachment Vote Because 'This Is Their Political Funeral'
Townhall.com ^ | December 22, 2019 | Beth Baumann

Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) on Saturday joined Fox News' Jesse Watters to discuss the Democrats' sham impeachment process and their votes on articles of impeachment. According to the Republican member of Congress, his Democratic colleagues know their vote in favor of articles of impeachment goes against the American peoples' desires. It's the very reason they wore black to the vote. It's not because they're "sad" or feel like this is a "grave" scenario being played out. It's because this vote signified their "political funeral," Meadows said.

"There is nothing serious about what Nancy Pelosi has done, other than the fact that she was serious about trying to get a political advantage," Meadows explained. "They're not just coming after Donald Trump. They're coming after every single person that voted for Donald Trump. This is all about making sure that 233 Democrats – well, excuse me, 232 Democrats – will actually supplant their will for the will of the people."

"There's also one other glaring thing that you need to point out: Nancy Pelosi wants to control what happens in the Senate. She wants to bring new witnesses. I thought their whole case was unbelievably ironclad and certainly beyond anything that would could ever imagine and yet she wants more witnesses," he said. "That's because there's a flaw in the case that she's already made."

Watters said what most Americans believe: Pelosi's leadership, especially on the impeachment front, has been exposed as partisan and overtly political.

"McConnell's not going to put up with any of this," Watters said. "I don't know what's going on in the Senate or the House or how it's going to shake out but it's not going to shake out in Nancy's favor, I'll tell you that."

According to Meadows, Democrats are putting on a "PR stunt" by doing things like dressing in all black during the full House vote on the articles of impeachment.

"They're putting on black because, for a lot of them, this is their political funeral," the Congressman said. "I can tell you, they're high-fiving in the hallways if they're from a Democrat district, a real progressive district. The rest of them are very scared and they should be, because, the American people, just like you pointed out, the American people are seeing beyond this."

Meadows made the point that the Senate and the American people will ultimately decide President Trump's fate. But he did say one thing that has become increasingly clear: Americans aren't buying the arguments the Democrats have set forth.

"It's pretty selfish of these deep blue Democrat district representatives are out there high-fiving, fist bumping, celebrating, spiking the football, because I don't see how Nancy keeps the gavel after this stunt," Watters said.

"I can tell you that what happens in some of those states that you were talking about, those traditional states that no Republican was ever supposed to win, and yet when Donald Trump won them, what's happening is many of those Democrat members of Congress will go home," Meadows explained. "This maybe the only 'important vote' that they ever take because what's going to happen is when 2020 rolls around, they're going to find themselves on the losing side of the vote tally."

“They are not only coming after Donald Trump. They are also coming after every single person that voted for him. “ @repmarkmeadows

OK Mark-— since you’ve announced you are leaving, you had better have cultivated your replacement-— with massive support.

Y’all knew that right— Meadows is leaving after next year 2nd Session 116th Congress. Somebody had better have a campaign up and running, for sure some NC queer/trannie/choose your bathroomgender types will be in opposition (the artsy living off the teat of NC types).

Western North Carolina’s loss with Meadows retirement.....he is an able and humble servant there and much beloved by the people

His district greatly succeeded in putting Donald Trump over the top during the ‘16 election

But I believe there are ‘even greater’ achievements ahead for him
President Trump trusts him

Hopefully it’s a politically one agonizing for San Fran Nan.

AGREED 1005.

The DIMocRATS farce impeachment reminds me of how some of our wild/rebellious Texans sometimes win THE DARWIN AWARD. = “Hey Honey, Hold my beer & watch this. You ain’t gonna believe it.”
(CHUCKLE)

ImVho, there is little reason to spend $$$$$$$$ to hold the 2020 Election, as it’s already irretrievably lost for the DIMocRATS. —— It will be a BLOODBATH for the DP.

Yours, TMN78247

Some indecent gerrymandering has taken place in Western North Carolina......’they’ divided the political pie & mixed things up......giving Mark Asheville .....as part of his 11th district

They’re setting themselves up for the next election

Asheville is not Trump country!

The smaller counties.....Macon especially worked their hearts out for Mark, and President Trump

But yes, to your point.....Mark should have an able replacement.....
If he or she is ‘real’ like Mark......the smaller towns, counties will commit

They’re starting to call themselves “Democratic Socialists.” I have a couple in my extended family. They’ve tried “liberals,” “progressives,” and whatever else they’ve tried. But now, they seem to be veering nearer to who they really are: communists.

I consider myself a liberal. In the classical sense. I place great value on individual rights and liberties. My self-described “progressive” friends and relatives, value group rights, identity politics and redistributionist policies, which are the opposite of individual rights.

The most basic individual right is the right to self defense. Next is the right to keep the fruits of one’s own labor.

Its us they’re coming after. Trump is only in the way. Democrats nullified the votes of 63 million Americans last week not because of him.

Because we voted the wrong way and we rejected them and they can’t stand it.

quite amazing. Asheville- home of Franklin Graham (who apparently has Leftie fake Christian opposition from the queer pastoral types.) Moscow on the French Broad River.

The buzz I've heard is that Meadows will be working for Trump soon.

That’s good news. At least Trump can trust him.
