“I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.”
Ohhh boy...way to throw a red flag in front of the progressives! Basically, her argument is that he isn’t worth impeaching because he’s great for building Democrat support.
“Trump’s been a great organizer for Democrats, a great fundraiser for Democrats and a great mobilizer at the grass-roots level for Democrats. And I think that’s good for America.”
I almost want to agree with her, because I know impeachment is a fruitless exercise, and it’s a marked contrast to what Repugs did to Clinton—but then if we can’t impeach someone who likely committed high crimes and misdemeanors to get elected, during inauguration and since...then why should anyone respect the rule of law? Congress has a job to do. It’s not just about what’s politically convenient or not...you gotta do your job. Even if you don’t start impeachment proceedings, you’ve got to uncover all the evidence.
