Pelosi Denies 'Second Thoughts' On Holding Onto Impeachment Articles

Two days after saying that that the House will vote to appoint impeachment managers this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expressed no regrets in holding onto the impeachment articles for three weeks.


During an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning, Pelosi reiterated that she plans to consult with House Democrats Tuesday morning during their regular caucus meeting.

“Well, what I did say is, I would be consulting with my members this week, on Tuesday morning, at our regular caucus meeting, that we would vote to send them over, and we will determine in our meeting when we send them over,” Pelosi said. “But it — we have never — I have always said I would send them over. So there shouldn’t be any mystery to that.”

When Pelosi added that she believes that Democrats accomplished their desire for “the public to see the need for witnesses,” Stephanopoulos pointed out that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “didn’t budge on witnesses at all” and is “not promising up front to have witnesses.”

Hey Stephanopoulos , instead of rehashing the second thoughts BS that the media wants to play, I guess the media hasn't figured out that when she was asked two weeks ago she said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, why didn't you in your 20 million year job description ask her if she would take the advice of Neal Katyal to withhold one of the impeachment articles, because of the shenanigans of that federalist society POS McConnell wants to do with the articles, but nope, your ilk wants to talk about the traitors tweets, just like that feckless "toad' on NBC does every week and the other "conservative broadcasting system called "face the nation" with right wing hacks being put on all the time.......................

...the bigger the advantage for Pelosi and the Democrats.

As proof, look at the polls about the assassination of Suleimani where about 70% believe America is less safe after his actions. I think Nancy's decision to hold up the Articles has probably impacted these poll numbers?
