President Trump questioned the validity of complaints about his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his Friday night campaign rally in Mississippi.
Touching on the phone call that ignited the impeachment against him, Trump told the Tupelo crowd there was nothing to hide from his discussion with Zelensky. “I’m an honest person anyway, but do you think when I’m making a call to a newly elected president of a country that I would say something improper when I know there are so many people listening on the line?”
Trump noted that several high-level Cabinet members were present when he made the phone call, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He also slammed Democratic Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff, calling him “twisted and corrupt” for his efforts to remove Trump from the White House.
“These people are sick,” Trump said of the Democrats seeking impeachment. “Now, these dishonest people will take the last little sliver and the first little sliver and they’ll put it because they are so damned dishonest, and they’ll just say, let’s use Ukraine for help. That’s what they are going to say. And they won’t show the laughter, and they will show the sarcasm, and they won’t show the fun because they’re the most dishonorable people, almost, on Earth. It’s a disgrace.”
