In a wide-ranging question-and-answer interview with Washington Post reporter Joe Heim published Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Donald Trump was unfit for officer in multiple ways—but “just not worth” impeaching.
Heim asked Pelosi, the most powerful Democrat in the United States, to address increasing calls from members of the Democratic Party to impeach Trump. She responded by saying “I’m not for impeachment,” then elaborated on how her perspective had evolved. “I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” Pelosi said. “And he’s just not worth it.”

I agree. Just get him out in 2020.
So is removing a House Speaker really that hard? The rules of law appeal to her as well for her clear treasonous beliefs and power mongering. And by using the platform as the House speaker as a podium of deviant behavior. To achieve what? Your 15 minutes are over! P.
We are all in agreement keep the pressure on and let him hang himself nancy is brilliant and owns his orange ass
What the hell is 'curiosity wise'....😂
SpeakerPelosi Why do you continue to divide our country? Start focusing on the positive!
Since when did those requirements ever stop any other politician. Despite a rough demeanor, Trump was elected to drain the swamp, get things done, and stop a radicalized left agenda.
The federal government is leaving him to NY and we will take care of locking him up.
That’s because senile SpeakerPelosi realizes impeachment of a President working to MAGA is impossible. She is just another sad and bitter Dem being used at every turn by realDonaldTrump. sad
but often trying to balance a large amount of things and fight off their own negligience for personal self interest
must balance a lot of cards in the air to be a senator or governor...a simple off shoulder comment could easily lead to aspiring politicians or paid political commentaries accusations of hypocrisy and death of such a career. i don't admire them...hard to imagine being politician
She's crazy or paid off. If he broke the laws he needs to be prosecuted for it. Just like anyone else. Trump scammed his way his whole life and NO ONE ever did anything? Why these Democrat are not asking for his taxes? Republicans asked for a birth certificate! CrookedUSA
Nancy right let's see how long Trump cult does
We don’t need an easy call. We can win this one with the 2020 election! I believe that’s what she’s sayinv.
ImpeachTrump
Gosh sounds like pelosi is speaking of herself!
cityslaqer You are a very nasty woman, Nancy.
But, but, if, then....bombshell this, big meanie that; it’s so tired and seriously pathetic. Maybe the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy can provide some ACTUAL “evidence” of something...ANYTHING..once Mueller shows the left/media there is none. sourcessay
That’s because she knows he hasn’t done anything that he could be impeached for so now she is trying to save face!!
Unfit......Let's be truthful, Pelosi. Ever since Trump won the election, everyone in your party was on a mission to destroy Trump. How about worrying about our country instead of one person. Do your job.
Playing the long game. Bigger payoff.
Dems are doing investigations and making a case on the record.
And he’s 100% more capable than pelooser!! What’s that say about her? She can’t form a sensible sentence!!
What does Speaker Nancy Pelosi know about the upcoming FBI Mueller report on the Trump-Russia probe where she 'd get out in front of it, before it's finalized to announce that she's not in favor of impeaching President Trump as it would be too divisive? What's the back story?.
Lucky she can form a sentence that makes sense
She is not worth listening too
In other words, democrats have nothing.
I disagree and want to see more done to have him removed immediately.
JudicialWatch Nancy knows what’s coming.
That in itself is a reason!
Wait....Pelosi knows what intelligence and ethics are? Ehhh who knew after the way she ran sanfracisco into the ground un less than 20yrs
Yeah.Pelosi is Fake.She is as guilty as Trump .
Nancy.
Donald, after I tire of Chuck, you can be my next toy!
Only because Pence is MORE DANGEROUS
Here’s the facts- Donald Trump is still President ✅ Leftists are imploding ✅ Leftists put illegal aliens ahead of US tax payers✅ Crazy Pelosi has lost control of her erratic, unAmerican party✅ Our economy is BOOMING 💥✅ NewsWeak is fake news✅ Life is good 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not yet.
SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff Yes he's all those things and far, far more. Show voters all the situations where he actually demonstrates he lack of fitness. His base needs proof of his stupidity. Control narrative.
She must know that the courts will take him down.
Epic shade by SpeakerPelos, not only is realDonaldTrump unfit to be president he's just not worth it. 🤡🎈
I disagree, he needs to go.
Ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
Not unwise to proceed cautiously until Mueller report is released. Something tells me she knows it is full of crimes, taking pressure off of Dems. Just a hunch.
She’s scared of the backlash
She is lazy and worthless. They could have been working on it in case he gets re elected, which looks likely since we did not address voting machine hacks.
She playing politics with what is her constitutional duty. She did the same with Bush/Cheney. It should not be her choice to pick and choose.
She’s being smart.
Nancy is cleaver and smart plays it down, for now, knows Donald time will come when he is not president one day.
I'm with Pelosi. It would be stupid of Dems to rile up Trump's cult with a partisan impeachment that would absolutely die in the Senate. We ultra libs need to wise up.
she must have taken a quick look at the Mueller Report
Seems to me SpeakerPelosi is taking the cautionary road ahead of the Mueller report and the many investigations begun by various committees in the House in the last few weeks. Evidence in hand may make it 'worth it'.
How about that he's a clear danger to the country? That he's given secrets to the Russians (yes, we do have proof; ask the Israelis). That he's betrayed the security of this country by giving in to North Korean demands (canceling war games). More? We have more.
A very dumb thing to say. Means he isn't a threat. Undermining everything the Dems have been saying.
B R I L L I A N T!!!!!!! Pull that rug right out from under the core message of GOP 2020 message!Nancy is FIERCE!
Translation: it’s just not politically smart to impeach at this time.
Trump has dirt on her, Dem Leadership and/or secrets the empire doesn't want the masses to hear.
