CNN’s Manu Raju asked Nancy Pelosi about the impeachment of President Trump and she had the audacity to claim that it’s about “patriotism to our country”.

PELOSI: It’s not off the table.

I don’t think you should impeach for political reasons and I don’t think you should not impeach for political reasons. It’s not about politics. It’s not about Democrats and Republicans.

It’s about patriotism to our country. It’s upholding the Constitution of the United States.

 

She continued with rhetoric against the president. She has no facts to give but continues to ramble on about the Constitution: If, in fact, the executive branch can say you can never have oversight over us, you have destroyed the system of checks and balances, which is the wisdom and the heart of our Constitution. And if you go down that path and you look through the Bill of Rights and the assaults they make on the press, et cetera, then you are undermining the Constitution, not honoring your oath of office to support and defend.

And part of all of that is, again, our responsibility, our oath of office, and what is appalling is the lack of respect for the oath of office that the Republicans in Congress, in the House, and in the Senate have for their own oaths of office to strengthen the institution in which they serve. It’s not about Congress. It’s about the American people. We’re representatives of the American people who deserve to know the truth.
