Trump fires back after Dems indicate impeachment could be used to block court nominee: ‘If they do that, we win’
Fox News ^ | 21 September 2020 | Brooke Singman

President Trump on Monday claimed he would win the presidential election if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually attempted to use impeachment as an option to block his eventual Supreme Court nominee from being confirmed to the seat vacated by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Over the weekend, after it was announced that Ginsburg had passed away on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., vowed that a Trump nominee to the Supreme Court to fill her vacancy “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

In response, Pelosi, D-Calif., in an interview, would not rule out impeachment as an option to stop a Trump nominee from being confirmed to the bench of the high court by the Senate.

The president, though, during an exclusive interview on "Fox & Friends" Monday morning, said nominating a justice to the high court is part of his constitutional duty.

“I heard if I [nominate], they’re going to impeach me,” Trump said Monday during an exclusive interview with “Fox & Friends.”

“So they’re impeaching me for doing what constitutionally I have to do,” he said. “If they do that, we win all elections.”

The president added that he thinks that if House Democrats move ahead with impeachment of any kind, his “numbers will go up.”

“I think we’ll win the entire election,” he said. “I think we’re going to win back the House, I think we’re going to win the House anyway.”

The president’s comments come after Pelosi, D-Calif., in an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” was asked by George Stephanopoulos about the possibility of using impeachment as an option.

“We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now...”

Agree, and their Biden riots will push the women vote to Law and Order Trump.

They know Barr and Durham are cleaning up the what the Obama/Biden DOJ left behind......And the results won’t be pretty for them.

As we know....Democrats are trying to win this election, after the election.

Not according to realclearpolitics.com, Biden is at 222 electoral and PDJT is at 125. And we KNOW that can be trusted. You know where they can stick their polls.

You have none. That is why you were unable to stop Kavanaugh. I am sure (as sure as anyone can be) the circus you made of the Kavanaugh hearings will NOT be repeated. Mitch sets the rules. The new rules will probably be 10 minutes per senator and ZERO time for reps.

The fact that the demorats are even floating the idea of another sham impeachment is a giant tell that shows they have lost their base, and only the ultimate red meat will satisfy their rabid animals. They are only doing this to try to keep their Frankenstein monster they created from destroying THEM. This is really good news because it shows they are not even thinking about persuading moderates or independents, let alone repugs.

I seriously think that an impeachment circus will be the Dems’ October surprise. Only, the surprise will be theirs.

The Democrats haven’t been this upset since the time we took away their slaves.

let the people have a voice, say the dems.

Such a false argument.

The People had a voice in 2016, when they elected Trump to do things such as fill scotus vacancies.
