Beto O'Rourke calls for Donald Trump's resignation

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke said President Donald Trump should resign during an appearance Saturday at The Texas Tribune Festival.

"The best possible path ... is for this president to resign, allow this country to heal and ensure that we come back together with the greatest, most ambitious agenda we've ever faced, none of it possible while he remains in office," the former El Paso congressman said during a conversation with MSNBC's Garrett Haake at The Paramount Theatre in Austin.

While the Republican president is unlikely to heed O'Rourke's counsel, the comment underscored O'Rourke's response this week to the launch of an impeachment inquiry in the U.S. House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced the inquiry Tuesday after new revelations about Trump's dealings with Ukraine.

O'Rourke has been agitating for impeachment since his 2018 U.S. Senate campaign, and he told Haake that he is "very grateful" Pelosi announced the inquiry and that he is "cautiously optimistic about the path we're on now."

[Green Line]

1. Beto's on a roll

I like him more every day.

[NurseJackie]

2. I think that's something at every good Democrat can get behind!

I'm completely in favor of that!

[Otto Lidenbrock]

3. Pence will pardon him and declare "our long national nightmare is over"

[Skittles]

4. Beto gets it right every time

he doesn't waste time playing politics

[Perseus]

5. Nope, I want him impeached, then indicted, and last, sent to jail with his children, Barr, Giuliani,

McConnell and whoever else is involved in all this corruption. Justice must be done, it wasn't done when Obama took office and he gave us his "move forward" crap, and that opened the door for more corruption. What did we expect corrupt republicans to do? if GW can get away with it, then so can we, and now here we are.

Sorry Beto, I think it is a terrible idea. Nixon resigned then he was pardoned and lived a very nice life, I don't think I want this monster to have the same fortune. It would mean that the rule of law and the citizens of this country lost. Anyone here happy about the creatures sister getting away with her corruption by resigning from her judge position? Was justice done? I bet she is laughing at her house, and at the country club, etc. No thank you Beto.
