Tom Steyer was absurdly calling for impeachment before Trump even committed an offense

Billionaire Tom Steyer began tonight’s presidential debate by giving a perfect example of why so many Americans refuse to support the impeachment of a president who manifestly deserves it. By bragging that he “started” the whole impeachment “two years ago,” he highlights the fact that Democrats have been merely looking for a pretext to impeach all along.

Two years ago, it was constitutionally obscene to suggest that President Trump already merited impeachment. Sure, he was often offensive, repeatedly out of control, and mercurial, incompetent, and bigoted. But none of those things are offenses against the public weal that come anywhere near impeachability.
