Pelosi Blasts Trump For Firing Vindman And Reminds Him He's Still Impeached Forever

Pelosi Blasts Trump For Firing Vindman And Reminds Him He’s Still Impeached Forever


Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the firing of Lt. Col. Vindman sad and shameful but reminded Trump that he would be impeached forever.

Speaker Pelosi said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA:

Lieutenant Colonel Vindman has proven to be an American patriot: on the battlefield when he earned a Purple Heart, and in the House trial when he spoke truth to power. His brave testimony showed America that right still matters.

President Trump is impeached forever. The shameful firing of Colonel Vindman was a clear and brazen act of retaliation that showcases the President’s fear of the truth. The President’s vindictiveness is precisely what led Republican Senators to be accomplices to his cover-up. The firing of this patriotic soldier is a sad and shameless loss for America’s security.

History will remember Lieutenant Colonel Vindman as an American hero.

Trump’s Friday night massacre is all about trying to get revenge against those who testified against him at the impeachment hearings. Trump also thinks that he can get his impeachment expunged.


Speaker Pelosi was right. Trump’s actions were shameful. Col. Vindman is a hero, and Donald Trump is still impeached.

is getting under his skin, BIG TIME. I'm so glad she is doing that. Sooner or later, all of the temper tantrums he can pitch will have been pitched and even his supporters, at least in government, will begin to see what a petulant, spoiled brat of an overgrown child he really is.

Damn, she's good.

Trump a man with no honor. One man who is a real patriot and one who has sold America out.

We are so fortunate to have her as House speaker. And also American hero Lt Colonel Vindman.

It gives him excuse to be as petty as he wants to be.

He’s using impeachment/acquittal like a trophy. And as justification for being a complete ass.

But at least we can confidently, accurately, and repeatedly refer to Trump forever as a corrupt, failed, impeached president.

Once impeached, the Senate holds a trial.

That's it. That's all there is to impeachment. The constitution does not grant a power to "unimpeach" or to"expunge impeachment".

One is impeached and then one is put on trial. If found guilty, one is removed from office. Either way, impeachment happened and that bell cannot be unrung.

"The President’s vindictiveness is precisely what led Republican Senators to be accomplices to his cover-up."

When the congress is filled with morally and intellectually weak sell-outs, this is what we end up with.

I'd bet they try to purge the government of anyone who's even remotely anti-trump. Rule by fear is the only thing the orange jackass knows.

Lots of Democrats stood up, individually and together, to confront the unfit, impeached one. Speaker Pelosi and the House managers all tried to provide a protective shield to the Republicans, but only one was brave enough to come forward to confront their abuser. McConnell was just too weak and cowardly to lead his caucus to safety.
