President Donald Trump fired off a scathing Truth Social post late on Thursday night as he is once again targeted for impeachment, floating the idea that Republicans should target Democrats for expulsion from Congress.
‘The Democrats are really out of control. They have lost everything, especially their minds! These Radical Left Lunatics are into the ‘Impeachment thing’ again. They have already got two ‘No Name,’ little respected Congressmen, total Whackjobs both, throwing the ‘Impeachment’ of DONALD J. TRUMP around, for about the 20th time, even though they have no idea for what I would be Impeached,’ Trump declared in the post.
Earlier this week Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., announced articles of impeachment against Trump.
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, applauded the impeachment effort and declared during a speech, ‘Add my name to your articles of impeachment.’
Green also plans to introduce his own articles of impeachment targeting Trump.
‘These Congressmen stated that, they didn’t know why they would Impeach me but, ‘We just want to do it.’ The Republicans should start to think about expelling them from Congress for all of the crimes that they have committed, especially around Election time(s),’ Trump asserted in his post.
Thanedar’s resolution includes seven articles of impeachment: ‘OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, VIOLATION OF DUE PROCESS, AND A BREACH OF THE DUTY TO FAITHFULLY EXECUTE LAWS,’ ‘USURPATION OF THE APPROPRIATIONS POWER,’ ‘ABUSE OF TRADE POWERS AND INTERNATIONAL AGGRESSION,’ ‘VIOLATION OF FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS,’ ‘CREATION OF UNLAWFUL OFFICE,’ ‘BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION,’ and ‘TYRANNY.’
The House impeached Trump twice during his first term in office, but in each case the Senate vote failed to reach the threshold necessary for conviction.
The second impeachment occurred at the tail end of Trump’s term in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, and the Senate vote resulting in acquittal occurred after Trump had already departed from office.
‘These are very dishonest people that won’t let our Country heal! Why do we allow them to continuously use Impeachment as a weapon against the President of the United States who, by all accounts, is working hard to SAVE OUR COUNTRY. It’s the same playbook that they used in my First Term, and Republicans are not going to allow them to get away with it again. These are total LOWLIFES, who hate our Country, and everything it stands for,’ Trump declared in his late-night post on Thursday.
‘Perhaps we should start playing this game on them, and expel Democrats for the many crimes that they have committed — And these are REAL crimes,’ he declared. ‘Remember, ‘Shifty’ Adam Schiff demanded a Pardon, and they had to use the power of the Auto Pen, and a Full Pardon, for him and the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, to save them from Expulsion, and probably worse!’
