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."

“ Suicide of the D party. It will be interesting to see what replaces it”
I like the idea of a long, lingering, painful year for Tom Perez and his merry band.
True- but they also wore all black because they are dramatic idiots- plain and simple-
BOL!
You're dead on the mark!
Right on! :^)
This wearing of black and claiming of somberness is so at odds with so many years of documented behavior that not only indicates bias, but hatred. I get the feeling that what they are cooking up is a way to rhetorically thread the needle to claim that the Democrats are not legally biased and that the Senate Republicans are biased. The thing is though, this is exactly the behavior that lost the Democrats the House the last time. The woman is pathologically incapable of not overreaching.
These chicks all wear white at the State of the Union. Now they all wear black.
Is this Junior High School? Talk about advertising an absence of gravity.
They’re not the squad; they’re the clique. The mean girls, who snap their gum and give each other sideward glances.
PING
"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 ... 232 Democrats – will actually supplant their will for the will of the people."
The Dems know they can’t stop Trump’s re-election, not with this economy.
........
So they’re waiting for the Senate election next fall to turn out more Dems in the Senate.
...........
Then they’ll reauthorize the House impeachment and send it to the next Congress starting in 2021, hoping it will make it through more favorable Senate.
.........
Senators Collins and Romney might defect and get Trump convicted.
..........
Pelosi and Schiff and Nadler aren’t going to quit. They’re hatred is pathological.
............
The Dems know that if Trump makes another 4 years, he will be appointing Ginsberg’s replacement.
..........
That’s the long game, a real Dem nighmare tor 20+ years with a conservative court.
It requires the votes of “2/3 of all members present” to remove a president from office. That means 67 votes if all Senators are present. A few defections won’t even get close.
Regardless of how the socialists come to power and what variants between political flavors of Christian democratic socialism, Soviet-style revolutionary socialism, social democratic socialism or any other kind of socialism are, they all trace their origins to Karl Marx’s “scientific socialism” and share the common mantra — “fair and equitable” distribution of wealth. Hence, the differences are superficial. The ultimate goal of socialism is economic equality.
Appreciate the comment from the NCer FReeper— Mark is lining up a great Freedom Caucus new member to be elected in his place.
What happened to Meadows was classic lib politics from true persistent a-hole legislative and judicial types in NC—who cannot stand the conservatives... the true ones. The gerrymandering (which the democrats abhor unless it’s them doing it, quelle horreur). A state where the big issue was whether a tranny male could use a female bathroom, and the political power to force businesses to provide for this in public accommodation laws, bear the expense for an extra bathroom for example (He, she, and shehe/it!
Friends have there were huge Jesse Helms supporters (even as a he “grew” to help the AIDs victims of the homo community, he was a demon on US foreign policy and conservative values in foreign aid— not the way it clearly is now, the waste). They also understand Big Tobacco (which has power in dc from the revenue they must pay), but cannot understand how a dumba@@ like Burr ever became a Senator, riding around in his VW german desert car in the Federal lands of the mountains (doling out favors to federal DOT, and TVA types, a republican FDR lover more like).
Will keep friends in NC in mind to help Meadows there— they know a lot of the great John Locke style conservatives. NC is a fantastic great potential with great history in our country’s formation.
The sooner the better.
