Dems appalled by Trump's comment but hold firm against impeachment

House Democrats left a Thursday caucus meeting aghast at President Donald Trump’s comments that he’d consider accepting election assistance from a foreign government. But even that statement wasn’t enough to move a majority of Democrats off the sidelines and closer to supporting impeachment.

Trump’s stunning remarks on ABC News this week injected new life into the fierce debate within the House Democratic caucus on whether to forcibly remove Trump from office, with the approximately 60 members of the vocal pro-impeachment caucus arguing that it only bolsters their case.

“No,” Rep. Hank Johnson said when asked if Trump’s comments move him closer to backing an impeachment inquiry.

Hillary paid for help from Russia. Dems weren’t appalled

I'm shocked...

Appalled and aghast just ain’t gonna cut it.

We are so fucked

impeachment isn't going to happen if it goes through the Senate.

🤦🏽‍♀️

Of course not. Dems are weak and the reason they will lose in 2020.

These are the same people who know full well that the DNC and HRC PAID PAID PAID foreign nations to produce lies on Trump. They then used those lies to get the Obama admin to spy on Trump. This is so appalling....

Democrats are a laughable party making up laws and BS as the wind blows.if what POTUS said was a crime then all of congress, senate, and every presidential candidate would be guilty.

Um you didn’t care when HRC did it. Why now the outrage.What he said was “I would listen”. That’s not a crime. Quid pro Quo would be the crime. Not reporting a crime would be a crime.knowing that Bill Clinton cheats on his wife daily. Not a crime. HRC destroying evidence=crime.

Because they won’t buck SpeakerPelosi !! Chairman Nadler is being gagged by her, swallowing his support for ImpeachmentHearingsNow Who knows how many more are too afraid

Hmm...think Steele dossier.

Aghast? Appalled? Wow! Good acting, Democrats! They have already forgotten the Steele dossier. If it wasn’t so sad, it would be funny.

Our leaders can not sit idly by while this president destroys our Democracy. WHY ARE OUR LEADERS HURTING US?

F the democrats

Appalled is not enough. Outrage is not enough. We as citizens need some action to hold this grifter accountable to our laws. Keep letting him slide and we are anarchy. That’s where we are now. No one knows where the limits of law are.

Yup. The ‘Do Nothing’ crew is living up to their name. I can see the history books listing all the impeachable offences by Trump and a big old ‘did sweet fuck all about it’ under a picture of Congress.

What the FUCK is it going to take? The entire Congress is compromised. Dump the entire Congress now. Arrest Trump and Barr!

I understand folk's frustration that Dems may not do their constitutional duty 2 impeach the Prez. But, if folks are concentrating on impeachment occurring, it will take the GOP Senate to approve it-and it won't with McConnell there. So the question- what to do about McConnell?

HouseDemocrats would rather take vacations and pass dead on arrival bills then do their constitutional duty, they are too busy protecting SpeakerPelosi whose son got caught in the Mar-a-largo circus the Republic is dead

Then the dems will lose in 2020 and will deserve it

Incorrect and you know it. He said he'd listen, never said he'd use. Facts in the media are in very short supply when peddling partisan propaganda is their first priority.

good grief!

They left aghast? Appalled? My heavens! I hope they are ok! Also, check into the stuff Hillary's campaign was doing in 16. Want to be even more aghast and appalled?

Why. Hillary paid a foreign intity to help her win an election.

Trump is simply counter punching. The DemocraticParty needs stop their political games and get to work for the American people.

OathofOffice EnemiesForeignandDomestic

maybe the democrats need to go as well. They have no spine. Impeach now.

Were they aghast when Hillary paid for the Steele Dossier, were they aghast when Adam Schiff got punked trying to get dirt from a Russian DJ?

Faux outrage. Schiff listened to a Foriegn Gvmt. 'dirt' on Trump. But, was just Ukrainian Radio Shock Jock playing joke. HRC/DNC didn't accept Foriegn Government inference, they PAID for it. Obama Administration met with Ukraine 1/2016 & asked them to interfere in election.
