Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has reversed course and now says the House should open an impeachment inquiry into President Trump -- and that he has told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

"It's not the right thing to do nothing," the Nevada Democrat told USA Today in an interview published Monday, adding,"It's not the right thing to jump into impeachment without doing an inquiry."The inquiry's paramount objective would be to"give the American people a view of what's going on," he added.Harry Reid Fast FactsReid had repeatedly dismissed calls for impeachment, even as recently as last month.

Reid acknowledged the political risks of initiating impeachment proceedings, both in ginning up opposition support in upcoming elections -- which he witnessed firsthand during then-President Bill Clinton's impeachment proceedings -- and in depending on a Republican-led Senate unlikely to budge. But he stood by his support for an inquiry. Read More"That has been one of the big arguments against the impeachment.

CNN and MSNBC need to be removed from the airwaves. They are destroying who we are, and making a mockery of our Country. There interpretation of what's going on in the UK this week is despicable.

Old dirty Harry surfaces just in time to cover his ass.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well we know cyclops AKA SenatorReid is still alive and kicking. But he has no other relevance in society today.

F him his the reason why the republicans are behaving the way they are right now, he was not a fair Democrat

Satan must have installed AC.

Do it!!!! Republicans need the house

An impeachment inquiry is a tool to gather evidence and does not necessarily going to lead to a vote of IMPEACHMENT. It’s to “take no prisoners”. Trump will be unhinged during this process and clearly Americans will have another viewpoint about him. It’s time. Never doubt!!!

This seems like a wacky narrative, Reid is the most corrupt speaker in history, that’s why he was arrested.

I support impeachment but couldn’t care less what Hairy (sic) Reed thinks.

Dracula has risen from the dead. Reid is the reason the Nuear Option is used today and the Republican's thank him for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh!

The A-Hole rises from the dust to play politics yet again. How’s the eye Harry? Those guys really roughed you, didn’t they?

Harry Reid's input is about as valid as a coupon that expired a month ago. Why doesn't he just slither back into the little hole that he came out of? Trump is the POTUS -- get over it and get ready for another four years!

Yep Harry baby. You push her into another grave error like you did with the Judge vote. Go to it Harry.

Good Night REID

Option B: MAGA

Reid still hasn't explained why he was beat up. We know what the rumors say, but he's never addressed it.

Good!

Let's do.

Insane disgusting individual

Pelosi led House should open Trump impeachment inquiry ,Harry Reid says.

Can CNN at least admit their bias and directly left driven agenda? I’d respect the organization a lot more if they just came out and said it. But....

I too called Pelosi and told her my thoughts, LoL!

Really he knows they can’t win and all it will do is elect trump again lol trump2020

Reid lied on the floor about Romney’s taxes. Another CNN hero

Please do it. It will guarantee a landslide election win. It validates all he has been preaching.

Not exactly a reversal when you read what he said.

So Reid is retiring?

He's still alive?

His opinion matters as much as my dog's

impeach for what crime?

He has a right to speak his mind. Trump has deserved to be impeached since January 20, 2017.

Good move
