Democrat Rep. Lawrence Breaks With Party, Backtracks On Impeachment

It looks like the tide is turning when it comes to impeachment.

Not only are polls showing that the public is swinging in Trump’s favor, but the utter clown show that was the impeachment hearings last week haven’t even convinced all Democrats that Trump should be removed from office.

In fact, the impeachment hearings seem to have actually changed the minds of former supporters of impeachment, one of them being Democrat Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan.

In June, Lawrence told CNN, 

“I feel we should begin that process. If we impeach him, he is still sitting in the White House because the Senate must act. Our democracy is bigger than Donald Trump, and we need to act.”

She also told The Dean Obeidallah Show in October,

“I feel strongly that for my legacy, for my time in history, sitting here at this table with an oath of office to protect this country, to protect the democracy of the United States of America, I cannot sit silent, that I must move forward with [impeachment] because this is egregious,” Lawrence said at the time.

But, that’s all out the window now!

Now, Rep. Lawrence says she sees no “value” in impeaching President Trump. As she explained,

“You can censure, you don’t have to remove the president. We are so close to an election. I will tell you, sitting here, knowing how divided this country is, I don’t see the value of kicking him out of office, but I do see the value of putting down a marker saying his behavior is not acceptable.”
