Film director and activist Michael Moore mocked Democrats who are against impeaching President Trump during his Thursday night appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Moore, who was critical of Robert Mueller’s testimony in front of two House committees the day before, was asked if he still was in favor of impeachment following the hearing.
“Oh, absolutely, absolutely. I don’t know what’s wrong with the Democrats. You have to, for history’s sake, for the children, you have to say, this is wrong, presidents cannot break the law,” he said.
“And yes, I know that what everybody says is, ‘Well, yeah, but the Senate won’t — the Senate doesn’t impeach.’ Impeach is only done by the House. And it means that your behavior has caused us to impeach you and now we will send you to the Senate for trial but you don’t say don’t do it because there won’t be a trial in the Senate as we know,” Moore continued.
“The Detroit tigers do not say, I don’t want to go to New York and play the Yankees, we’re just gonna lose,” he added in a fake whiny voice. “Let’s not do impeachment because we’ll lose in the Senate and we’re Democrats and our feelings get hurt! No we need to fight, we have to fight, fight, fight you know.”
A frail old man, unable to remember things, stumbling, refusing to answer basic questions…I said it in 2017 and Mueller confirmed it today — All you pundits and moderates and lame Dems who told the public to put their faith in the esteemed Robert Mueller — just STFU from now on

Back on Wednesday, in the middle of the special counsel’s testimony, Moore tweeted, “A frail old man, unable to remember things, stumbling, refusing to answer basic questions…I said it in 2017 and Mueller confirmed it today — All you pundits and moderates and lame Dems who told the public to put their faith in the esteemed Robert Mueller — just STFU from now on.”
