Democrat Slams Calls For President Trump’s Impeachment As “Premature”

In contrast to many members of his party, Democrat Chris Coons dismissed motions for President Trump’s impeachment, as reported by Breitbart News.

Coons’ Remarks and Calls to Impeach President Trump

On Wednesday, Coons issued the following statements regarding calls to impeachment of the President:

“I’m not calling for the President’s impeachment at this point because I don’t think we’ve seen the sorts of evidence that would justify it at this point. I’m a political realist. It’s a Republican-controlled House and Senate.”

“Impeachment won’t move forward unless there is something that shocks the conscience of the average American and persuades a majority of Republicans this President committed high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s premature to even discuss that.”

Calls to impeach President Trump predate his time in office as noted by Wikipedia. However, since his Presidency, Democrats have made seven attempts to remove him from office. The aforesaid attempts followed the President’s termination of former FBI director James Comey, Comey’s testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee, and the Alt-Right’s Unite The Right rally. Democrats have also alleged that President Trump has obstructed justice, “trampled” on the Constitution, and more.
