In a new op-ed, former GOP Senator Jeff Flake asked Republicans whether they would oppose impeachment if Obama engaged in the same behavior. Ben Rhodes tells Ali Velshi that "this is hypocrisy. Republicans would be ripping out the gates to the White House to get at Barack Obama if he had done anything remotely like what Donald Trump did." Aired on 12/20/19.

Ben Rhodes On Republicans' ‘Hypocrisy’ About Trump's Impeachment | The Last Word | MSNBC
Go trump at least he gets things done other then the lieing demacrats.. scomo is useless
@Google+ sucks! Sup racist, Surprising isn’t it? You’re a racist, clear as day. It’s funny how hypocritical you people are. Pushing the narrative to be fighting against “Racism” while being as racist as one can be, all without realizing it. Hilariously pathetic.
@Google+ sucks! So white men are uneducated automatically if they support Trump? You must be very very stupid.
@Google+ sucks!Wow it’s ironic? You are Reflecting much, your Elecktra complex must be acting up! 🤣
@Google+ sucks! , you’re a pathetic racist F#$k!!
DEMS, ohhhhhhhhh
What a good people!!!!!!!!!??!!!
Ohhhhhh DEMS,!!!!!
Republicans should dispense with impeachment with a speedy vote on the first day in the Senate.
The truth is being trolled
The ONLY Hypocrisy is from the Anti Trump Anti Americans who ignore how Trump was spied on and all the broken laws by them since the day he won.
Nancy Hypocrit put a Quid Pro Quo against Mcconnel and the Senate.
LYING FAKE NEWS WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU
You moron!
I’m enjoying watch the swamp rats wringing their hands and scurrying about. Thanks MSNBC!
Are you people joking? You rushed through the trial, you have nothing, you didnt give the Republicans or trump any opportunity to question anyone they wanted . Go comitt #treason somewhere else.
HEARINGS, Not a trial.
How about the Obama’s wisper to Russia’s president caught on tape when Obama promissed to be more flexible after elections… White house gates remained intact!
Lol “looking for things to go after Obama on”. There was PLENTY but we were concerned about the country not petty impeachments, though they would have been beyond valid.
When are republicans going to start administering the only cure for TDS.
I thought dems had an air tight case in the house. If so, why do they need documents & more whiteness. Sorry, you don’t get a do-over. You had your chance with your rigged “investigation”
What you corporate media rats don’t understand is that the people who back Trump are not “Republicans”… they are Americans from all walks of life, who are tired of the status quo BS Dem/Repub Uni-party political theater show🗳💵🐀🐀🐀Figure it out morons🗳💵📺🐀💥🤛🏾🎄🎁🎅🏼
Fast and furious, Benghazi, Uranium 1 all were obstructed and all had actual crimes associated. The Republican House investigated, found wrongdoing and did not impeach. This report is blatantly false!
Perhaps it’s not to late for many to go to jail as more and more coordination comes to light. FBI falsified FISA documents, Corruption and money laundering in Ukraine… it’s early but the truth is coming out.
Obama should have been impeached for Fast n Furious scandal!
And you still don’t have definite first hand proof of anything. So sad. Day late and a dollar short. Good effort though!
Hey Ben, John Durham will want to talk with you soon about the coup attempt by the Obama administration, against President Trump.
Do a closed door session like the DEMFUKs did and call it a day.
He is lying. Obama committed “obstruction of congress” during the Fast & Furious by having Eric Holder not release the documents to Congress on it. So, no sir, you are a lier… Republicans didn’t impeach tho… get your facts straight bud….
