Washington Michigan GOP Rep. Peter Meijer said Monday evening he is"strongly considering" voting to impeach President Donald Trump following last week's riot at the US Capitol, assessing that the President is"no longer qualified to hold that office."
"I would prefer that we have a more fulsome investigation into what happened. Most of what I know about January 6 came either from personal experience or from Twitter. But at the end of the day, I think it is obvious that the President is no longer qualified to hold that office," Meijer told CNN's Erin Burnett on"Out Front.
Peter Meijer very courageous and patriotic. Standing up for democracy.
Anyone who blames Trump for Antifa infiltrating that massive crowd needs to be investigated. That person is either too dumb to push play on a YouTube video, or is compromised by nefarious motives.
Hey Meijer! What part didn’t you hear when the President was speaking about a peaceful protests. Maybe you need your ears cleaned!
Ok Pumpkin
Trump needs to be removed from office as soon as possible
Well, here’s something for truly patriotic residents of Michigan to consider: There are plenty of alternatives to shopping at meijer grocery stores, including other local grocery chains. Maybe RepMeijer should consider this, too.
Have they listened to the arguments of the “Constitution” specialists?
Just do it. His death cult hates you already anyway, might as well try to make a path for Republicans with a conscience. Good luck!!
that's correct.
Stop strongly considering just do it!
He said, 'This is something we're strongly considering.' I wonder who's the (we)'re
ROTFLMAO
Look at the GOP caving like a house of cards. It’s pathetic how weak they look. It’s all about pac money. They will turn their backs on their constituents for pac money. We need term limits
If they would ALL do the right thing, they would not have to be so afraid of the Trump base.
Ignorance is going to bring us all down. We must read beyond the headlines. Trump never incited a riot. Why do so many insist on being a fool? Are they all from NY and California?
Cool
Stop testing the waters PICK A FUCKING SIDE NOW or GTFO Waffling only shows that all you care about is keeping a job not meant to be a career that are shitty at & your cowardly ass doesn't deserve anyway
Neither as in Meijer Grocery Stores?
Add to primary list✅
Another stinking rino

Was he Pete or Pete? I always get them mixed up.
See ya in the primary Peter!!! Time to vote vote vote
Come on, Pete! This ain’t hard!...
Please do! Follow your conscious because it’s telling you impeach Trump!
Unfit
gumboqueen3030 Just do it! No bullshit about “strongly considering it”! The Susan Collins of the House! Sheesh!
Janeway12004 Don't talk about it, prove it. Talk is cheap!
👍🏼🇺🇸
Another puppet of the speaker, funny how these puppets can’t think on their own
This is an honourable man.....and I’m no Republican!
yeah sure buddy, let’s see how you vote
Just to it please. He is no longer qualified to hold any office whatsoever.
At least I saw some EDUCATED and reasonable republicans members did speak out the truth n uphold US CONSTITUTION....
Wondering if selling out the country to enrich himself and his family is a impeachable offense!! It's a national security crisis!!
tengbiao
So now with 8 days left, he’s not “qualified” !? What a Fucking Joke
Good to hear, but not sure he's only considering it...
Trump was NEVER qualified to hold that office, tf.
Leave Trump alone..... Stop the impeachment!! It's a waste of time!!!!
Switch Trump’s name to Obama and he won’t be “considering” it; he will be “certain” of it! Hypocrites!
If he's still undecided he's one of them.

What Trump actually said was “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Watch the video below you judge the many for the actions of the few.
pistach01 I don’t understand why it’s an act of courage to vote to save the Republic? These people are elected to help their constituents and uphold the constitution. All of a sudden doing their jobs is an act of bravery?
Nothing to strongly consider...just impeach. It's that simple. Get 'er done.
I wish and pray all Republicans will come to their senses and signed The impeachment we need to impeach this man so he can never ever run for any type of government, and we don’t have to pay me either he doesn’t deserve it,
The smell of the swamp keeps getting stronger..
enough_ro Well, its Jan 12, probably another attack today~for your consideration!
How is “strongly considering” even a thing after that utter fuckery? This shouldn’t even be something you’re mulling over in your mind ..... what thee actual fuck?
And you should Trump need to be gone for good 👍
Hope you find the courage to do so Peter. I don't underestimate how difficult that decision will be, but you clearly know that it is what should be done.
sturgishigh It's literally his job to Impeach the president after he incited an Insurrection. He would be doing the bare minimum his job requires. How about featuring the people who immediately recognized the need to impeach, not the people who have to be convinced to do the right thing?
Strongly considering? How about strongly voting to impeach? What’s to consider when you could’ve been killed?
Peters gone in 2022
He should be impeached, cause he doesn't deserve the presidential benefits after he leaves the White House.
When it comes right down to it, most Republicans won't. They're still blinded by either devotion or fear, or both. It's too bad they're not blinded by love for democracy and our country, as if they were, every single one of them would vote for impeachment.
I hope the rest of them follow suit. Trump isn't fit to be President. The Senate should have impeached him the first time.
Rhino
What the fuck is there to consider?
No longer qualified? He never was.
Strongly considering REALLY? what is there to consider..the Capitol was breached and almost destroyed, people were killed, idiots stole, tore up offices, broke glass out, etc..you need to strongly consider So your super PAC money is being compromised? Idiocy..
We will remember you when reelection is here!
To the other GOP Senators, we know who the liars and enablers are. Trump will not be President anymore so you're going to need to scrounge your own followers which will be hard. Start telling the truth & you might have a chance at being reelected!
Talk is cheap.
Peter Meijer is a bad dog!
Thank you for standing up for our country and protecting our democracy.
It's not about being qualified about holding office. He leaves office in 9 days. They're just scared shitless that he'll run again.
can't sell without mentioning realdonaldtrump. I wonder how they will put up after January 20's once President Joe Biden is inaugurated.
Trump wasn’t qualified to be a garbage man, let alone President of the most powerful nation on Earth. And I actually RESPECT garbage men 😄
No longer qualified - he's never been qualified.
Vote Meijer out of office.
RepMeijer
thanks 😊
IMPEACHED OR NOT IMPEACHED,I GIVE MY THANKS TO THE GEORGIA PEOPLE WHO SHOWS THAT ONLY THE GOOD WILL WIN,MY RESPECT TO GEORGIA
Impeach!
Needs to Trumps needs to face his war crimes
Come forward, bravo sons and daughters of America!
Lol. The one guy.
👇
Not just consider it do it
Republicans!! Free yourselves from Trump! Impeach him and be free! You know that trump ruined your party and this is your chance to get it back!!
Is he a little worried about a maniac overthrowing the government and establishing himself as dictator for life?
History will judge every senator and house member on their vote. Be on the right side of history.
“Morality is so hard.” - Congressional Republicans
Rats leave the ship.
considering? What does it take? A nuke attack?
🤡nn
And he should! His leader is a nut
Finally a republicans with morals & ethics far and few between!
GET OFF THE FRIGGIN' FENCE! If you cannot make a concrete decision with something as black and white as this, then you are incapable of making real decisions. Don't follow your party's sheep over a cliff. Follow democracy, the Constitution, and what is obviously RIGHT and JUST
“Trump has not been engaged in work of the presidency, leaving much of the official business to others, including Vice President Mike Pence, who presided over a White House coronavirus task force meeting Monday...”
Forget strongly considering to vote to impeach trump. Just do the right thing. Show some decency and your morals. Your family will be proud of you so will your country.
That's like any American saying, 'I'm strongly concerning walking across this Freeway during rush hour? ' Either you ball up and commit, or you put your tutus on and bend and snap!
What does 'strongly considering' mean? It sounds like nothing-speak.
Please do the right thing and IMPEACH. Your country is in turmoil due to this man and will continue to be . Trump should also come out and tell his base that the election was not rigged but fair and legal
From Australia. I cannot get my head around what’s happening in your beautiful Country,it’s beyond words.Any LEGACY TRUMP had is FUCKED,the MONEY is turning on him like the rest of the USA.HE IS UNHINGED, CERTIFIABLE,and GUILTY of TREASON, how did one EVIL MAN DO THIS IN 2021?
If I was a Republican, I would be thinking that RepPeterMeijer was a better bet for the future than the guy with orange hair who is moving out of the White House.
Dude... He almost killed you via Shaman with a pipe bomb. I suggest you consider more strongly...
GOPLeader & a lot of Rs r using an excuse not to impeach saying it won’t help unify the country.The real reason is they have to go on record in a roll call vote. Voting no w/b an obvious violation their oaths of office. Let Americans know the names of the cowards who vote no.
What is ther to think about really. Oh his future over the right thing to do.
What America decides to do or not do with President Trump on account of the Jan 6 2021 U.S. Capitol domestic terrorism attack will forever be THE DEFINITIVE BASELINE AMERICAN RESPONSE & PLAYBOOK IN THE FUTURE. It is imperative that America decides constitutionally & decisively.
Haven’t seen a riot like those at the Capitol since the BLM riots all last summer across the USA
I’m “strongly considering” these Monday morning quarterbacks are meaningless. I’ll let you know.
Strongly considering? The fact that this isn't clear to ALL GOP law makers is horrific.
'Considering' -- a popular word with bureaucrats. It's not decided, not a commitment. It goes well with 'not taking it off the table.'
Trump debe ser destituido de su cargo de inmediato y debe rendir cuentas por sus horribles actos de sedición, violencia y caos.
There is nothing to fear...stop 'strongly considering'- he is deserving of impeachment. Stand up for what is morally right! Too many GOP members are unwilling to be leaders.
We have an old saying. People get a king that they deserve. Americans got one. He is not finished yet. He still has a few days.
ALL I KNOW IS... Allowing someone to BE ignorant is Draining. Allowing someone to ACT ignorant is Dangerous.
'What are the conditions that gave rise to Trumpism, and how do we change those? We must ask this question, unless our strategy is to be endless war against those we deem irremediably evil.'
What is there to consider tho!? The pandemic he failed to contain and lied ab is ravaging and killing thousands of Americans a day. Not to mention inciting a domestic terrorist attack on the US capitol to over turn an election via coup attempt. How is it not clear?! Remove him!
He was never qualified to hold that office!!!!
More than one police officer is dead. Citizens died. How are you thinking this over?
He was never qualified
The guy has no conviction He is gonna make a great politician 🙄🙄 TermLimitsForCongress
I'm strongly indifferent to what he does. He doesn't represent my district.
In your best interest unless you want in the short line headed for unemployment....
I’ve read the entire transcript. It’s a nothing burger
Why is it such a process for these Reps to go from “strongly considering” to actually doing it? Is something going to change?
Dude... what do you have to lose, you are part of the Meijer family... you know what is right.
...but will then change his mind and vote no
As he should, senatemajldr is opposed to everything and is not working for the people. Trump put both sides of congress at risk as well as citizens. It’s dangerous and we should not continue to baby him. He’s been impeached once and now look at where we are.
“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand” -Jesus the Christ (and no I’m not religious)
Encouraging to see people taking a stand. They will be on the right side of history.
It should not be 'strongly considering'. It's a 'yes' or 'no' question.
This wannabe President quit on his country months ago. Then led a coup of our government with a bunch basement tough guys that failed! Hey proud girls come find me.
I would encourage all Republican to repudiate Trump
Can't understand what's holding all Republicans from making the call to impeach and remove Trump from office after seeing what he is capable of doing
He should, but it shouldn't be a tough call. If Trump sent armed thugs to your neighbor's house and he trashed it, you'd be mad.
I'll believe it when I see it Pete.
But he was qualified before !!!? When he bragged of gropping women !? When he destroyed all the relations with the allies !? When he suggested to drink Clorox !? When he destroyed the confidence in democracy !? He was fit then !!?
Do you know? ImpeachandRemove
We are past the point of “considering”.
Not sure where the hold up is on, 'hell yes, I'm voting to impeach,' but hopefully he'll get there. Especially considering his Governor was targeted by these bastards.
Strongly Considering..... just fuck yourself now. We’re tired of the Susan Collins remarks.
donlemon Why doesn’t this Republican understand Mace understand if Trump is impeached he cannot run for office again?!
I HATE CORONA!!! WE MADE IT OUT OF 2020!!!!
Your a punk and 75,000,000 will remember.
Grow a pair Pete. Do it.
Dont consider it! DO IT!
It’ll be the end of his political career
But he was never qualified!
Somebody has a pair of gonads.
strongly considering what are these people crazy
You have no soul
“Strongly consider”
Do it!
Man has a few days left but yeah, kick him out.. smh
“Considering” what them pissing on the capital walls wasn’t enough?
Good. Get your other GOP cronies to fall in line and do the same.
Strongly considering? What more do you need?
FALSE!
“No longer”? Oh ok.
I'll be president
