Max Rose shifts anti-impeachment stand

Rep. Max Rose shifted his stance against impeachment Tuesday, saying “all options must be on the table” after the explosive revelations that President Trump may have sought help from Ukraine to smear Joe Biden.
The moderate Staten Island Democrat called the new allegations a “serious crisis” and demanded that the White House cooperate with a congressional probe.
“A president attempting to blackmail a foreign government into targeting American citizens is not just another example of scorched earth politics,” Rose said in a statement. “It would be an invitation to the enemies of the United States to come after any citizen so long as they happen to disagree with the president.”
Rose, a Marine Corps veteran, did not outright call for impeachment. But the reversal of his previous stance against action to remove Trump is a powerful sign that a flood of Democrats have now decided they have no choice but to take on Trump.

I know Max; his district is very pro-Trump. For him to switch means a lot.
