‘Idiotic!’ Kari Lake Throws Down With Dem Who’s Seeking Trump Impeachment in Piers Morgan Slugfest

Kari Lake, the Trump administration senior advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, threw down with Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI)  over his “idiotic” bid to impeach President Donald Trump, calling it nothing more than a “despicable” attempt to play to the “far-left radical crowd.”

Thanedar introduced seven articles of impeachment against Trump on Monday, accusing the president of “sweeping abuse of power” and “acts of tyranny” that threaten the rule of law. But support among Democrats has been minimal. Though Trump was twice impeached while in office, he was acquitted both times by the Senate, where Republican backing shielded him.

Responding to Thanedar’s new effort at a rally Tuesday, Trump dismissed it with mockery: “Today they did it again. Some guy I’ve never heard of…is he a congressman? He says, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment of Donald Trump.’ What the hell did I do? Here we go again.”

The line was repeated during a Piers Morgan Uncensored clash on Wednesday night as Piers Morgan platformed Thanedar to allow him to make his case, only for his co-panelist Lake and MAGA podcaster Tim Pool to push back.

After Pool ripped the Democrat for introducing the impeachment bill to raise his political profile, Morgan asked Thanedar: “Alright, Congressman, you’re just doing this because you’re a narcissist, basically?”

The Democrat pointed to Trump’s low 100-day approval ratings in polls released last week as a sign of “buyer’s remorse” among his voters before Lake began her takedown.

In a barrage, Lake accused the congressman of trying to win the “good graces” of the “AOC crowd” and said the impeachment move proved Democrats “don’t know what to do”:

First of all, where did this guy come from? With all due respect, this is an idiotic thing to do. And it’s proving that the Democrat Party has no play. They don’t know what to do right now because Trump is winning on everything. He’s strategizing how to fix the economy that Joe Biden drove not only into a ditch, but off a cliff. And this is why the American people were suffering. And it sounds to me like this is a political move to try to put [Thanedar] in good graces with the AOC crowd and the very, very far left radical crowd ahead of another election. This is ridiculous.

The American people were sick of the previous attempts of impeaching President Trump before. They don’t wanna see this again. And I’m embarrassed for this gentleman. I’m embarrassed for that congressman that he’s doing that, that he has fallen to that level to try and impeach President Trump.

In his first 100 days as he tries to save us from the serious missteps of Joe Biden and that administration that almost broke the backs of every American in this country. What about the fentanyl that’s no longer pouring across the border? What about lives that are saved there? What about a president who’s trying to end a war that’s killing thousands, tens of thousands of people and costing all kinds of our treasure over in Ukraine? What about that?

No, he’s trying to concentrate on something to make people all of a sudden know who he is so that he can raise money and run for reelection. I find it despicable. I really do.

Somewhat stunned, the Democratic congressman argued that Trump had failed on the economy, offended allies through trade policies, and been unable to deliver on his promise to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Specifically, he pointed to his own state of Michigan and argued that Trump’s policies were “hurting” the auto industry.

“Is this a congressman out of Michigan? Is that what I’m hearing?” Lake followed.

“Yes,” Morgan responded.

“And you’re not for President Trump? You’re for the tariffs that are going to single-handedly save the American auto industry?” she jabbed. “Good luck. Good luck getting re-elected.”

“Look, our car prices are going to go up, domestic cars are going to be more expensive, foreign cars are gonna be more expensive. People won’t be able to afford to buy a car,” Thanedar offered in return.
