McCarthy Puts Pelosi on Notice Over Impeachment Acquittal

Once House Democrats voted to impeach President Donald Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made the media rounds with the same phrase: "Once a president is impeached, he's impeached for life," she would say with a smile.

"We had confidence- we have confidence in our case that it is impeachable, that this president is impeached for life, regardless of any gamesmanship on the part of Mitch McConnell, however, that could still come to bear," Pelosi told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos last month. "We're still confident in the impeachment and we think it's enough testimony to remove him from office."

On Sunday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy reminded Pelosi of one tidbit she seemed to forget: once the Senate votes to acquit President Trump – which is likely to happen on Wednesday – he will be acquitted for life. 

McCarthy put Pelosi on notice during an interview on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

"The president's going to be acquitted for life. Nancy Pelosi needs to know that but what you're going to see right now is a real change in the Democratic Party," McCarthy explained. "There are two internal Civil Wars going on right now: There's many Democrats in the House telling them that they're very upset with the speaker and with Adam Schiff."

According to the House Minority Leader, Democrats are upset with how Pelosi handled impeachment by pursing it "too soon" and not being "fair in the process."

"And she changed the message every single week," he said.

McCarthy said Democrats are upset with Schiff because he failed to tell his Democratic colleagues on the Judiciary Committee he had met with the whistleblower. His own lies have caused the internal war, McCarthy explained.

and not a thing anybody can do to Schiff for lying numerous times about this before God and millions of people.

I’d like to see DJ start by taking away all their nice little perks. Like Nancy flying around on a 60 million “Military” private jet like she’s some billionaire businesswoman. At 17k an hr to run and 50k a year to stock it with her booze I think The Don can shut that down. It is under military control after all.

Handing out pens was a total disgrace of the Speakers position.
Disgusting,she needs to go.

Nancy Pelosi owes her speakership to President Trump, who wanted her in that seat. Do you remember November, 2018 when the president pledged as many GOP House votes as were needed to guarantee that she would be the new speaker? Nancy Pelosi was horribly compromised and was forced to do President Trump's bidding, and she has made it look good. It must be gut wrenching to knowingly destroy your own party. Enjoy the show...

Theoretically they could impeach Trump ad infinitum on the same charges until they finally got a conviction.
**************************************************
They’ll be lucky to hold the House. The people are sick of this and the idiots on the Left handed their enemy the ammo to defeat them. I think we’ve seen all we’re going to see of this sham.

Once POTUS Trump is re-elected, the asterisk you put by his name will have an asterisk of its own.

To your shame, Nanzi.

At her age, the extremely vain Vile Botoxian still wears 4 inch stiletto heels with very pointy toes. She thinks she’s really HOT.

Sorry Botoxian, you’re 80 years old, and I’ve seen your flabby varicose vein legs. You’re not hot, you’re decrepit, and you like like a skull with a bad wig and Sharpie Marker eyebrows.

I’m rooting for The Vain Botoxian to trip and make a spectacular faceplant on the marble floors of the Capitol—with her dentures flying out of her mouth LOL!!

She wasted tax money to grandstand and raise money for her party and for people running against Trump. Is that Quid Quo Pro Nancy?

By Pelosi’s statements she is either an idiot, a genuine idiot, or a liar. Probably a fair bit of both.

How about a first class reprobate.

If she is in such a bad state, shouldn’t she be making her peace with the Lord? That would require an end to her lies and hatred, along with a genuine resolution to stop going forward.

Unless she knows where she’s headed and won’t do anything to change it.

The pity of it all is that 5, 10, 100 years from now, she will be forgotten.

Any particular reason that the piece of Schitt gets a pass on perjury charges for lying under oath about that in the Senate?

The dems got up there and ranted about all these things that Trump would do in the future if he isn’t removed now. It was just plain nuts. Trump is not going to break the law. That’s a dem specialty.

Golly gee, Trump fulfilled most of his promises before the first term was up and made the most atrocious one true: Mexico is a wall in and of itself. The massive turnouts for his appearances are there for all to see. After the bummer Resident America loves this President.

The Democrats used the political equivalent of a nuclear bomb, impeachment, and it turned out to be a dud.

Pelosi doesn’t hear anything other than the word “Canolli”. Too much Vino Italiano during her childhood and life. She’s as pickled as a Herring at Passover.

Add in the Medication delivery from VA which is a $4 Million perk. If I have to go get my own so should they. In fact find out what those meds are!
