During the House debate on the second impeachment for President Donald Trump, Rep. Darrell Issa stated that those who wanted to impeach Trump are punishing him for the things he has done over the last four years and not due to the violent protest last week.
He recalled that during President Trump’s campaign, he previously said that the president had political Tourettes - saying what's on his mind without a filter.
“I don’t think that’s being debated here today,” Issa said, after recalling what he said about the president. “We all know that’s true. What’s being debated is whether with 167 hours left until he leaves office, is he a clear and present danger. And he clearly isn’t. The president has acted substantially the same for the four years. He has rallied his base. He has in fact called for a peaceful protest as he did just a few days ago. The fact is, today we are trying to punish the president, at least some are, for four years of what he did, not for what happened last week.”
Issa further said that the violent protest was because of the anarchists who came “loaded, prepared, and with weapons.”
If Trump will be impeached and convicted by the Senate he may be disqualified by Congress to run in 2024, the Verify Team reported.
