'This Is The Moment History Will Write': Kevin McCarthy Opposes Impeachment Vote | MSNBC
Happy Halloween Mr President… your witch hunt has OFFICIALLY started for ALL to see
@Anthony Johnson yes
darm Marm I think it won’t take but a month Trump will be out
LOL 😝
@Anthony Johnson That depends on whether the Republicons have an once of integrity.
This makes me sick! Shame on you McCarthy
Karen Kogianes this makes sick also !! I’m so PIST if the SPINELESS GOP Congressional SYCOPHANTS did their job and CHECK the Executive branch we wouldn’t be subjected to this……
This will be his legacy: a trump enabler and a liar.
Now just remind your self republicans tried to impeach Obama all the time …
Less than two months after Obama took office, right-wing radio host Michael Savage declared, “I think it is time to start talking about impeachment”
FOX so called news called for impeachment over immigration , by these hosts , Megyn Kelly , Chris Wallace, Andrea Tantaros , Bill O’Reilly , Sarah Palin , Brian Kilmeade , Bret Baier and Jedediah Bila … so not only one host , main part of their talking heads .
The same people who thought the auto bailouts were grounds for Obama’s removal don’t have anything to say about Trump’s decision to spend more than TWICE as much bailing out farmers over a trade war he started.
@Artemas Ward he was right. And now he’s also being paid by Putin.
This politician is toxic and represents all that is wrong in Washington
@MrDiscostu4u word salad and crying. How embarrassing for you.
@MrDiscostu4u Thanks for the input comrade.
@everything irie are you joking? Even the Dems love the China position. That is why Msnbc/CNN do not cover it. They are liars and dream weavers.
myles hallett — Actually, to run a government well, we need politicians…just honest politicians. The reason we’re in this mess, today, is because we elected a man with absolutely NO experience with how government works. You wouldn’t hire a watch maker to work on your plumbing, would you? We need politicians…just good ones.
History is watching you sir. And you will be viewed by it as did someone who chose himself and his party over his country and his duty. You bring shame and history will see that.
@Saynoto Socialists a tradition of locking up criminals.
Bob Loblaw = delusional fool 😂
@Saynoto Socialists At least 10 career Diplomats and military officers have accused your “duly elected president” of extortion.
Blink Once on Sunday! , do “ accusations “ constitute quilt ?
I mean in real life , not the bizzaro world socialists live in
@Saynoto Socialists guilt constitutes guilt
I wonder if they practice their indignation in the mirror as they write these hypocritical criminal whiner speeches
When Trump, or his minion, tells a lie, they are speaking their native tongue. Treason is, of course, their regional accent.
This is the moment he added his name to the list of crooks that will be jailed for all the illegal and cover-up
History will write:”but, can you do me a favor though ?”
On t-shirts
@staceyklj Get the quote on t-shirts now, don’t wait!
He demanded that favor, though. They are menacing this freshman young president. I’ve been paying attention. President Zelensky wanted to get along with the moron but trump and his goon squad tried to twist his arm. Zelensky spoke with his advisors and said he was tired of the pressure. He did not want to invest his time in getting involved in the American election politics. They have such a poor military and they need those weapons to fight Russia.
listening to this guy you would never imagine that he was right In there against Obama doing nothing but obstructing and investigating… NOTHING. it’s beyond hypocrisy.. it’s disgusting.
he dont want it in the open for the public to see and he dont want it behind closed doors (however, its not behind closed doors because the Republicans was involved) What do he want them to do. Either way he complains.
COUNTRY OVER PARTY YOU TRAITOR!
McCarthy “I think Putin Pays Trump”
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/333951-majority-leader-mccarthy-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump .
@Artemas Ward I remember that. Such cowards
Shameless vulgarity and a perversion of democracy on display in DC.
YOU are on the wrong side of history McCarthy
We are the people of America and we want the impeachment!!
@mothersdaughter61 Another clueless cult clown.
Hahahaha, I love democrats, you are so full of hate.
@mothersdaughter61 hahaha, I love Republicans, they’re so full of crap.
I’m not american but after reading the history of Democrats and Republicans, it’s easy to see that it’s the Democrats that are full of crap.
mccarthy is right,History will write about this time, but it is not going to be what he thinks.
History has shown us that this is how a dictatorship gets started.
We can stop this.
This is like having the absolute worst poker hand and going “all in” to prove you’re not helplessly addicted to gambling.
Point taken. No, that wasn’t about celebrating it was about witnessing something akin to addiction which is hard to watch.
@James Wilson what point did you take? He didn’t make one. Mueller refused to do his job, that’s got nothing to do with the validity of the investigation.
@Perro dehont 10 incidents of obstruction of justice justice and 150 known contacts with Russian operatives. If not for Bag Man Barr that would have resulted in impeachment. And, it still might be an article yet.
@Bob Loblaw I’m not from the USA but have been following the circus since Trump came down a golden escalator in an golden tower . Don’t know him from tv but from all the problems involving his golf club (just North of Aberdeen Scotland) . I have much time (pension) so I have been watching every day since July 2015 . I have not read every page of the Mueller report but large sections of it and don’t understand how it’s possible that the laws and regulations where allowed to be bend the way they did . They did collude and they did obstruct justice and got away with it . I doubt Trump will win in 2020 but I don’t rule it out , it will depend on how many think it’s worth to vote this time around .
You can tell he doesn’t even believe what he’s saying, no passion just flat speech.
Just obeying orders as they say.
The most ironic and ridiculous thing about it… it’s a vote to not only make it public but also give Trump the opportunity to fight it in the house with his lawyers (a first). Its usually the senate trial where the impeached defense occurs. It’s ironic and ridiculous because that’s exactly what this partisan Trump Tool was demanding just a few days ago… and he voted “Nay” to have it public and give the president a defense in the house side…
Traitorous Trump got him worn out trying to defend the indefensible.
Snake oil Minority Leader (If his lips are moving, he’s lying)
There goes his last shred of credibility.
Kevin McCarthy tries so hard, but he still has the charisma of a wet sock.
@Wim Philipsen In this administration that would be an insult to Kevin.
@Wim Philipsen LOL if 45 is the model then yeah.. very presidential ! * rolling eyes * what a disgrace to the office he was elected to .. what a disgrace to the oath he swore to uphold ..
😂😂😂😂
@Wim Philipsen Presidential like the present president…..
