If Democrats don’t pursue impeachment, their words mean nothing

On a conference call with congressional Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi curbed talk of impeaching President Trump, cautioning “we’re not there yet” and deflecting “if the path of fact-finding takes us there, we have no choice.” This measured path of caution is surprising to Americans that have been paying attention to the Democrats for more than two years saying that the president is unfit to hold office.

From the moment Trump took office, impeachment has been the Left’s biggest motivation, the resistance’s reason for being. He was declared a racist with “they’re not sending their best,” a sexual predator at worst, a misogynist at best after the “Access Hollywood” tapes, and a corrupt mob boss who colluded with the Russians to gift himself the 2016 election. The Democrats told the public that the Mueller report would end the Trump presidency, implying in liberal fan fiction that the president and his family members would be escorted out of the White House in handcuffs and sanity and the rule of law would be restored.
