Nancy Pelosi takes impeachment off the table

March 11, 2019

  According to this story Nancy Pelosi believes that Donald Trump is unfit to be President on many levels but she has taken impeachment off the table because she does not believe he is “worth it.”

  Here is more:

“This is news,” she added. “I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.” 

Yet, Pelosi also said that she does not believe Trump is up for the job of running the country. Asked if he was fit to be president, she countered, “Are we talking ethically? Intellectually? Politically? What are we talking here?” When a reporter said all, she said he was not.

“All of the above. No. No. I don’t think he is,” she said. “I mean, ethically unfit. Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit. No, I don’t think he’s fit to be president of the United States.”

  So Nancy Pelosi thinks that Donald Trump is unfit to be President on multiple levels yet she is not for impeachment? It is clear that the Speaker of the House is walking a tightrope here, trying to please people like Maxine Waters while at the same time explaining why she is against impeachment.

  There has to be a just reason to impeach a President, it cannot simply be because you do not like him as a person or disagree with his policies and those are the grounds on which most Democrats and their voters are using to push for impeachment.

  I believe this is an indication that the Mueller investigation is almost over, and I would not be surprised if some have been briefed about what is or is not in it, and I think at this point the Democrats know there is nothing in the report. Why else would Nancy Pelosi come out so shortly before the report is released and try to tamp down expectations?

  It is going to be interesting to see the reaction of the Democrat voters and I am also curious as to whether or not Nancy Pelosi ran this by the real leader of the Democratic Party–Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…
