Washington A former longtime Republican congressman called Friday for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, who he said is an"illegitimate president."
"I'm calling for impeachment now because the Mueller report is out, and in it describes 10 obstruction of justice charges that he could not bring because of a Department of Justice rule and regulation that says you can't indict a sitting president -- that's number one," former Rep. Tom Coleman, who represented Missouri for nearly two decades, told CNN's Erin Burnett on"OutFront.
We voted for trump, how would that make him illegitimate. Suggest finding another relevant resource.
X is the key word so who gives a fuck
Thank you sir and bring some of your friends
Lol! You mean: Former RINO! Lol! CNN, you know that the DNC has paid off many 'republicans' dont you? This is why we voted in a non- politician. We know the political environment, before Trump, was stacked against the American people...for decades. And you helped them.
Well good for him. Of course he has just proven his ignorance!
Finally someone with some common sense
Another RINO! Good thing he is a former congressman! Would be another swamp dweller if still in Congress
Good!👍🤔
More Republican politicians should also rise to protecting our country from further damage to our economy, safety and morals. They’re complicit in allowing this crazed man to abuse his office power.
A representative trying to keep his job......
Looks like trumps own republicans are comeing to their senses.
You just lost 100,000 more viewers and Trump just gained 100,000 new voters. Another meaningless, slanted and silly tweet.
CNN Drops 26% In Prime Time As Fox News Dominates April Cable Ratings
Prove it or shut up already.
Listen old man you are part of the reason Americans voted him in...piss off!
I agree, Trump is the 'illegitimate president' of the United Russian Federation. If not for Russia, He would have never WON.
Where did CNN find this guy and how much dust did you have to wipe off him before you published his idiotic opinion?
Hmm ex. GOP. So d's like Billy Krystal, the swamp!
Thats it cnn?
Yawn
😂🤣 it’s funny how the rich democrats and rich republicans are so dead set against Trump.... if I was a dumbass liberal I would be asking what are these rich republicans hiding? (Still too stupid to ask why rich liberals rich)
He is EX for a good reason.
agreed.
A guy that used to work where I work said I should be fired.
Please someone explain what are the reasons for impeachment. Seriously. I have no clue.
Did you say 'X' congressman?
Ex- Congressman and establishment GOP... geee no wonder he doesn’t like trump... it’s like looking into Jeff Flakes future
NEW: Finally, The Angry 'Trump Must Be Impeached' Video You've Been Waiting For (WATCH NOW)
Maybe you are an illegitimate Congressman. If so, what should we do about you?
Seriously CNN. This guy is a moronic clown. The Mueller report stated there was no collusion, Congress said no collusion and this idiot still thinks there was collusion. Really CNN you could have done better than a dried up has been. Shame on you.
Hey, news flash. We don't care
He didn’t get enough contributions?
Key is former !! Looks like a ran out of office 'former' .
howstupid
we need current. not former
The President is legitimate. More so than half of the Democrats in office. These losers, especially the ones no longer in office, need to watch their accusations which are close to becoming criminal.
The media and DregsOCrap party are obstructing justice.
The GOP needs to take a stand now. They need one of their strong candidates to take up the gauntlet and run against Trump. Trump was a fluke and the normal Republicans will pick any GOP besides him.
Very well said. Remove Trump from office now! McConnell, have you no self respect? Trump is sh&tting all over you on this Saudi arms purchase authorization. He reached out to and accepted the help of the Russians to win the election. Wake up! senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC
CNN sucks!
Hmmmm...illlegitmate? He won the election, remember? That’s called a democracy.
The only good GOP congressman is an ex-congressman.
Who cares. Really I can get 199 former congressmen to day he is legitimate. What a stupid story.
CNN sucks.
realDonaldTrump IllegitimatePOTUS
realDonaldTrump VP This IS an ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENCY AND CESSPOOL OF AN ADMINISTRATION
Who’s Tom Coleman? 😂 I can see why you didn’t use his name until half way through the article as nobody knows who the hell he is.
Key word is 'former'. Wake me up when former is replaced by ,'current'
“Illegitimate”: someone who beats the candidate I voted for in the election.
He is right. Trump and pence are fake.
No name swamp creature. No one takes stock in anything these people say
Digging around the bottom of the barrel for GOP opinions? A washed up has been RINO is a stretch even for the Communist News Network. Tom Coleman is a nobody who has been away from congress for over 20 years nobody even knows him much less care what he thinks
FORMER is the word. Where did you dig up this skeleton?
Unknown politician opines in dark silence.
CNN gets more ridiculous every day. Try reporting news instead of antitrump propaganda. It might help your ratings.
2016/////////////////////////////////////////2020 hahahahahaaaa
Who is this old Reagan republican who allowed 16 years of Clinton and Obama? Why should we care what he says?
Impeach for? Having blonde hair. Using hair product. Doing a very good job? Cleaning the DC swamp? Wait. For being a billionaire. Building skyscrapers that somehow pollute. Not green enough. That's it impeach. Lol
The people say he is qualified
ILLEGITITRUMPENCE - No other president and vice president deserve to be in the White House less
Note the word”former”. He has nothing to lose. The power hungry “present” GOP members will not stand up to this president for fear of his public ridicule and losing their own power. Sad.
Mueller said NO COLLUSION.....legitimate: he won ELECTORAL COLLEGE....Russians colluded with HRC...it wasn't President Trump who received $145 M it was the Clinton foundation.....
Another establishment hypocrite.
What about all of the other Republican office holders? Why aren't they calling for Trumps impeachment for collusion, obstruction, lying, cheating, adultery, cheating on his taxes, charitable fraud, corrupt university? TRUMP IS NOT A REPUBLICAN!
this guy is who?
Another story about projection. This is what really is about to happen: Obama will be proven an illegitimate president and will lose his library amongst other things.
Sphincter says what?
There’s a reason why he’s FORMER!!
Hey Tommy, you certainly are perfect for CNN. Your both loosers.
Dude.... votes 😂😂😂
illegitimate president? I rather have an illegitimate president who is getting the things we need done, namely, the wall, than a liar like Obama who doubled my healthcare premium.
Thank You
The sooner this hug Theresa May disappears the better it looks like a poor Christmas for millions of people when coco the clown that's Boris Johnson takes over. The DUP should hang there heads in shame keeping the Tories propped up there day is coming very fast down the line
'X' says all you need to know
There is a reason why he’s EX
Who? 😂😂
Grow up.
CNN had to go to the retirement home to get this story
How dare he say that Trump was elected by PEOPLE OF AMERICA THIS IS AN INSULT TO PEOPLE OF AMERICA
We know that congressman. Call some of your old colleagues and give them the message.
Конгрессмены пидарасы задумались о своих интересах.
The people voted him in. We wanted him in office. That makes him legitimate. Like it or not. Now move on and do the job you were hired to do.
YAWN
noonecares
Fire more people
Of course he is. Burt the EC supporters won't budge.
Don’t let him look down and ask him what colour his tie is. Bet he can’t tell you.
1st of all the Mueller report never mentioned the DOJ rule as the reason for not bringing charges for obstruction so that right there is a lie.. it was not in the report..
Who gives a FCUK? He’s STILL YOUR PRESIDENT! 🇺🇸🖕🏼😂🖕🏼
Who the hell cares? Can't impeach just because you don't like him
The old GOP needs to stand up and say something about stopping the madness
Illegitimate because of the popular vote, so does it mean President Bush was also illegitimate, how many Presidents won by electoral vote, are they all illegitimate, it's an American system put in place by wise men.
Lol, the key word in this tweet is, “FORMER” You people really should go and start reporting real news.
What happened to Russia, Fake News.
Say what!!? I would not bet on it!! fool,
Well actually, the opinion of a 'former ' Anything, including this Republican ' has been' is of no legal or political present value.
Well clearly that settles it,case closed,go home everybody
Fuck him.
I wonder if he realizes that he's calling all US Presidents illegitimate since all US Presidents were elected the same way.
They are much worse; ask the mothers of the dead babies in Yemen and in US border guarded camps.
Thats why he is an EX GOP. Nobody wants him there. Buh bye...
Hes just high on something to call Trump illegitimate...
He is right, the clock is ticking and with each second that ticks away is time we will have to pay for later. Congress Act Now!
Go back under the rock you crawled out from
DCNN would put a serial killer in a tweet if they spoke badly of President Trump.
This is why he is a former congressman. He's lost it! MAGA AmericaFirst Trump2020
You can't obstruct Justice...IF THERE IS NO UNDERLYING CRIME.Mueller's report indicated there was NO collusion (which...by the way..isn't a crime..by statute).
CNNfakenews Your ratings are in the toilet, you are laying off employees. And if you wonder why, it is stupid stuff like this. Who cares what a has been thinks?
He’s from back when the Republican Party was sane and patriotic.
Trump is simply a badass president
Thank you. You are from the old honorable times. Nowadays GOP is so different...
He worked for the Livingston group that joined Tony Podesta, why not disclose that...last represented Missouri in 1993.
Earl Thomas Coleman? The politician turned lobbyist after being ousted from office for doing nothing for twenty years? We care what he thinks why?
You see there are Republican Patriots out there!
What a kook.
Words are not mightier than pen most times, no pen want to undo the action at work.
How dare he say that He was elected by PEOPLE OF AMERICA THIS IS AN INSULT TO PEOPLE OF AMERICA
He’s not illegitimate he was duly elected, go sit down!
CNN is sucking up the bottom of the sewer water The electoral tally 'victory' really was not that close
Where in the world do you dig up these dinosaurs? We knew from the beginning that there were politicians Rep and Dem that did not want Trump to be president. Even after our tremendous progress, under his leadership, because he is not a stereotypical politician they don't like him
All this cause he knew CNN would put him on t.v. and love him
It is sad that there are not enough Republicans speaking against the evil of Donald Trump.
CNN is sucking up the bottom of the sewer water
So? Your news crew is shrinking? this may not be the angle you want to take. But sure.
Who? There are more people who were going to bring down Trump than there are failed Global Warming predictions Hillary Omarosa Woodward Hillary Mueller The illegals at Mar a Lago Comey Hillary
This guy is nobody. A minor has been who never was 😂
Lol another former nobody
CNN almost bankrupt again.
Useless!
You know what, if people focused on fighting the evil going on, there wouldn't be such an insane enviroment. Mr. Obama would never been president & that's based on ACORN was caught in Nevada etc. Chicago danced saying how many pets voted for him, voting 100-1000 times.
Get him out of office & SAVE AMERICA!
history will not be forgotten by the GOP
If GOP's support to her president not based on constitution or justices, but based on lies and obstruction, may break the country into two or more countries, a reverse of civil war. Then openly establish friendship with N.Koria, Russia, .... abandoning Canada, Maxico, EU, ....
Hang on, I have to Google Tom Coleman
Those who are the loudest have the most to loose. I wonder what Tom Coleman is afraid will be discovered.
Remember the name when the swamp is drained. Just saying.
With the attitude and lack of moral courage by the Republican leadership this is a welcoming development from the former congressman, Trump has thoroughly intimidated and manipulated the rank and file of the GOP.
GOP should be brave to tell the truth
He's an illegitimate congressman! !
I call for it as well. As a Trump supporter.....I know the partisanship will lead to another term for him!
He just can't get used to having a president that was born here.
Just going to talk about it until 2020 or do something?
There needs to be a *Never Trumper as a qualifier.
Doubt you have proof. Find Kasich, Flake, Kristol, Morning Joe & arrange a play date. POTUS has this covered
His honest opinion is appreciated.
Who he thinks he is？either bought or dumb
This guy must need attention or money.
Hand over my share or... I will expose you
Don't need to hear this from a former congressman... we need to hear it from the current congressman.
Wow
No wonder you are a former
Who cares!!! We voted not Trump! Not the Republican Party
Who is that old feeble man?
Blah! Blah! Blah! What's that sound? Oh! It's your ratings crashing.
SpeakerPelosi
How much does MSM pay these desperate political hacks to spew their unimpressive opinions?
So would that make everything he’s done illegitimate? Asking for a country 😟
Go Cluck yourself
Agree with this guy!!
He hasn’t been a congressman for 25 years You guys are too much Lol
Tom Coleman needs to stop band standing. This is our duly elected President. Maybe Coleman nds to be checked into. What is behind his doors. $$$
Ex? Who cares?
All talk from both sides. Utterly disfunctional, broken government.
Keep it coming 😁 all the trashing of the POTUS is backfiring everyday 👏
It seems CNN is paying hotel bills for every Trump hater so they'll go on the air to state that our POTUS must be impeached.
Pres Trump was elected by the American voters. We had to live w 8 years of Obama & suffered for his inactivity. Pres Trump is changing America to become the greatest country again.
Correction. This is a RINO.
Who is this and why do we care about this guy's opinion?
Stop talking about impeachment and start doing! The whole world will be grateful.
And then pooped his depends...who gives a shit?
Emphasizing the word “EX”. Like on no longer.
foolish lies mueller said the reason he didn’t bring charges had nothing to do with charging A president there was no there there propagating lies again
Whom
Yes, I agree; realDonaldTrump has proved himself to be an 'illegitimate president' as well as incompetent and an extremely unstable psychotic (having lost touch with reality).
Ex....
Who cares
Never Trumper Republican Trash.
And you wonder why you are having mass layoffs.
Well he won and 7/8 of the countries landmass voted for him. I'd say that's pretty legitimate. Who the hell is this guy anyway?
cnn keeps pushing the bull💩💩💩...
Illegitimate how?
He is an illegitimate president. He's also a god damn moron who's bordering on dementia and belongs in a psychiatric facility. He's so far past the point of return. His mind is deteriorating and all the sane, decent people in this country have to suffer for it.
*former
Fake news
Key word Ex.
Notice how everyone that makes these claims have no proof or evidence to back up what they’re saying.
CNN= Stupidity and only Stupidity.... more layoffs for CNN
More REPUBLICANS should start raising, cause this POTUS is totally UNREPUBLICAN. Tell him to get his ass back to the DEMOCRATS so we can have a better stress free AMERICA
No, WRONG. I and over 62 million pple voted for him. Illegitimate my ass. Cant take the heat? Please, if anyone will be claimed illegitimate it will be 44....
No surprise that a professional lobbyist would dislike Trump - he threatens their very existence!
he is EX.....has no influence or say. the people have not hired him as their servant, kinda like the people are not watching CNN for news
Sorry... but who cares?
We won't let you impeach our President. Most normal Americans even neighbors who are Democrats think this impeachment talk is nuts! And the Democrats in Congress are crazy.
CNN is still around....? Wtf?
Someone please explain to me how this Pres is a illegitimate. He won the vote. Just cuz u dont like him doesnt make him illegitimate. Dah
Oh you guys are REALLY trying.
The keyword is “former” in other words who cares
He looks like he is from an era when the media was somewhat honest and believes it hasn't changed much. He's clueless like most dems
Who? Who cares what he wants?
don’t pull a muscle with all the reaching y’all are doing
Lol.
A former legit news network calls attention to another truly meaningless story. Meaningless is better than take, I guess. Congratulations
Can I have a cell phone I want to send a TWEET!
CNN, same ole same ole with you guys!!! Broken damn record. You fools will get him re-elected
Oooooooooooooooh, so original🙄 nobodycares
Keyword is former. What we really need is current GOP congress to do that.
How is he 'illegitimate'? CNN declared him the winner on election night. Who is this clown ... a Kasich crony?
realDonaldTrump you and Barr Lied to me u promised insisted that report cleared you!!!
FINALLY! A 'win' with assistance from Russia IS ILLEGITIMATE! See realDonaldTrump, even a CONSERVATIVE get it! And then, you give RECIPROCAL sanction relief to Russia? THAT is TREASON...aid and comfort to the enemy...you TRAITOR!
RINO never Trumper....we’re done with them
You're so right
It's like CNN is having a contest to see who can be the craziest or lie the biggest. It's purely a comedy show for the sane nowadays.
What’s his crime😂they can impeach him because they don’t like him
Yup
A congressman who was last in congress in 1993......
And this gets CNN hard. The same liberal organization which put Michael Avianti on the air for 100’s of hours, and even had one fat little anchor (brianstelter) say he could be president.
Republicans only show up when they are not aspiring for public office.
Oh no not another republican 😂. Cnn is desperate. Does CNN even are they are laying off employees because of ppl know they flat out lie? Dnc must be paying them big bucks to keep pushing these lies even though their ratings are dying
More layoffs coming...keep up the good work!
THAT GUY BELONGS IN A HOME
Another RINO that is irrelevant.
How is he illegitimate?
True! Now can you convince the current GOP the same? I mean, that's what we're dealing with here...
another idiot....show me the high crimes and misdemeanors
Former. That and a bus pass will let you ride the bus.
What company of his has been affected by Trump’s America first moves? Lol
