However, the House Speaker didn’t stop there. Later in her commentary, Pelosi branded President Trump as a threat to the Republic. She furthermore accused the president of “reckless actions” and “violating the Constitution.” After alleging that Trump threatened secure elections and national security, Pelosi claimed the president “weakened America” via a quid-pro-quo with Ukraine.
Towards the end of her opening statement, the House Speaker professed that she and House Democrats are “defending democracy for the people.”
This statement ironically comes as more and more of “the people” express opposition against impeachment.
Will the House Approve Impeachment Articles?
At this time, there is a strong possibility of the House approving articles of impeachment. This will then lead to a Senate trial; multiple Republicans in the Senate have already affirmed their decision to vote against and shut down impeachment.
President Trump, himself, recently sent a six-page letter to Pelosi, in response to impeachment. The president warned that House Democrats are bastardizing the impeachment process and will, therefore, incur the wrath of U.S. voters.
