Trump Blasts ‘Crazy Nancy Pelosi,’ ‘Scam Impeachment’ Following Christmas Call for Unity

Hours after President Donald Trump asked Americans to unify and embrace, he got on Twitter to launch new attacks on his political foes and the House Democrats’ effort to impeach him.

“Why should Crazy Nancy Pelosi, just because she has a slight majority in the House, be allowed to Impeach the President of the United States? Got ZERO Republican votes, there was no crime, the call with Ukraine was perfect, with “no pressure.” She said it must be “bipartisan…& overwhelming,” but this Scam Impeachment was neither. Also, very unfair with no Due Process, proper representation, or witnesses. Now Pelosi is demanding everything the Republicans weren’t allowed to have in the House. Dems want to run majority Republican Senate. Hypocrites!

Hours later, Trump continued the attack with this:

The Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats said they wanted to RUSH everything through to the Senate because “President Trump is a threat to National Security” (they are vicious, will say anything!), but now they don’t want to go fast anymore, they want to go very slowly. Liars!

And here are the president’s other retweets and Fox News live-tweets since he’s had a lot of those lately.

“Look, the House is supposed to do all of this work on witnesses and documents BEFORE they send the articles over to the Senate, not to call in new witnesses, go through new documents – that work is supposed to be done in the House.” @KatiePavlich @foxandfriends

Brad Blakeman “I happen to believe as a lawyer that the charges are defective, they don’t meet the Constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors, so I would like to see a Motion to Dismiss. At least 51 Republican Senators would agree with that-there should be no trial.”

Nancy Pelosi’s District in California has rapidly become one of the worst anywhere in the U.S. when it come to the homeless & crime. It has gotten so bad, so fast – she has lost total control and, along with her equally incompetent governor, Gavin Newsom, it is a very sad sight!

The new Twitter offensives from Trump came within hours of the Christmas statement the president and First Lady Melania Trump gave to advise the country to “foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect” for each other.

In terms of the president’s question of “why” Pelosi is “allowed” to impeach him, Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution might have the answer he’s looking for. Trump’s complaints about the lack of “due process” are also interesting since it is the Senate that holds the actual trial on his impeachment, plus he refused to send his legal counsel to the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearings.
