On Saturday, President Trump spoke before a conservative Turning Point USA audience. Throughout his remarks, Trump talked about the Democrats’ crusade to remove him from office and additionally censured Hillary Clinton. The two-time failed presidential candidate faced strong backlash after referring to Jill Stein and Tulsi Gabbard as “Russian assets.”
At this point, the president noted that either Stein nor Gabbard are assets for Russia; then he noted his “respect” for the 2020 Democrat.
In Trump’s own words:
“I give her respect. She didn’t vote the other day. I give her a lot of respect because she knew it was wrong. I don’t know her, but I know one thing. She is not an agent of Russia.”
Much to the annoyance of certain members of her party, Gabbard offered censure of Trump as an alternative to impeachment.
What’s Happening with Impeachment Now?
Despite Gabbard’s present vote, Democrats managed to collectively approve both impeachment articles against President Trump. However, there is no telling when these articles will make it to the Senate.
