House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy says President Trump is responsible for the deadly Capitol attack last week, but that impeaching him would be a 'mistake.'

"What's the point" in impeachment with days left in Trump's term, GOP representative asksRepublican Rep. Debbie Lesko argued against impeaching President Trump, saying there is no point in going through proceedings to remove the President when he has just one week left in office.

"At a time when our country needs unity, it is concerning that my Democratic colleagues have chosen to begin impeachment proceedings against a president with just seven days left in office," she said during debate over the article. Lesko said,"I've heard my colleagues on the other side of the aisle say they have to impeach the President because he is too dangerous to stay in power. Yet they know that it is impossible for the Senate to remove him before his term expires. So what is the point?"

She said that Congress has certified the count of the Electoral College and acknowledged that Joe Biden will be the next president. "President Trump has indicated he will peacefully transfer power to President-elect Biden next week. So why pursue impeachment just one week before he leaves office?" Lesko said.

Trump impeached by House over Capitol riots, becomes first president to face rebuke twiceThe House of Representatives Wednesday made history by voting to impeach President Trump for a second time in his presidency. Kudos to the rock star, Liz Chaney, who stood up for integrity and democracy at Trump's impeachment hearings. She showed true leadership. There are 20,000 armed military personnel in Washington, DC because of the MAGA Domestic Terrorist Organization. 1 man, 1 party and 1 cable news network caused this. This is embarrassing! ..and when the FBI presents overwhelming evidence proving that he was also responsible for the grossly inadequate security on The Hill, it will surely be the death knell for The Pig Who Walked Like A Man..
