WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called on members of Congress to stand up to "lawlessness and tyranny" on Wednesday, as she marked the start of the final formal debate in the House over whether to impeach President Donald Trump.
The California Democrat said it is "tragic that the president's reckless actions make impeachment necessary" but added, "He gave us no choice." "It is a matter of fact that the president is an ongoing threat to our national security and the integrity of our elections, the basis of our democracy," Pelosi continued, addressing more than 100 Democratic members seated on the Democratic side of the House chamber and the handful of Republicans seated across from them.
Cummings also spoke about his own legacy, "prophetically," shortly before his death, Pelosi recalled. "When we are dancing with the angels, the question will be, 'What did we do to keep our democracy intact?'" he said.
Pelosi does not even respect the republic. She is such a hypocrite like all Democrats. They speak about the constitution but they abuse their power and hide behind it.
Bullshit.
dems u started a WAR , and what happens in wars?
Pelosi is trash
It's time to vote pelosi out of office.
DID NOT GET OFF THIS TIME!
Skeletor
jrsdoor_john She’s a cold hearted witch, yes with hate in her heart
Keep telling yourself that.
100% 🐂💩 PoliticalTheater
The president forced you to do it to ensure a second term in the white house? Thats the only way doing this makes sense.
They could have tried winning the election next year.😂😂😂😂😂
Trump will not be impeached.
SarahHuckabee Democrats said Trump would lose-he won; said he’d ruin our economy-it’s booming; said he‘d weaken America-our country has never been stronger; & when all else failed said impeach him! But tomorrow realDonaldTrump will still be our president and thank God for that!
Trump 2020
Pelosi need to be out of there
Republicans publicly swore to remove Obama from office from day one in Congress. The hypocrite party conveniently forgets that. Of course, Obama wasn't stupid enough to do anything one tenth as stupid as many things Trump has done, because he's a moron who doesn't know the law.
She’s so fake.
As Nancy's Secret Santa, has she been Naughty, or Nice? What say you Santa? Merry Christmas!
KleinschmidtJD It’s going to be great when trump wins re-election after this bullshit! Lol
Prettyyyy sure he didn't twist your arm and MAKE you impeach him...
Big waste of time and money brought to you by the political party known for wasting time and money! Vote em out!
SpeakerPelosi WHY’s that Luci? Because he wouldn’t cave to your Gaddianton Robber (aka deep state) way of lying, stealing, making false accusations, being a hypocrite destroy America way of doing things?! burninhell
He won - Hillary lost
Finally it’s over. Now Trump can move on with America and do his job. Waste of time. Dead on arrival in Senate.
When Senate kicks it out, the Dems will be kicking themselves because this term will be void and Trump can run another two times still. Trump 2024!
KleinschmidtJD So wrong on so many levels! What a joke!wasting tax dollars & time on this! Please work on real issues!!
This started the day after he was elected and I am a registered Democrat. Please do not insult our intelligence
Bipartisan support against impeachment way to go good job bringing the country together!!!!
He still won't resign no matter how hard we try. We will continue to try and reverse the election. That's what she means.
Democrats knowing that he won't be removed are partying like they won something because he will have that asterisk next to his name. Congrats. It's like celebrating the fact you just won second place in a duel to the death. Smh.
He gave us no choice... here we go. When the Biden and Clinton family have got away with everything from murder to petty theft! Just get a bigger rug to sweep anything involving Democrats under.
Bye Pelosi. You just committed career suicide.
Why does she have a picture of the flag she obviously despises?
Is 1.8 Billion to iran a bad idea? Obama didnt think so. Is 150Mil to hunter biden with no investment experience legit money from a foreign gov? Trump is literally and statistically putting Americans to work, notice I dont say race, I say American. TRUMP2020Landside
Bill Clinton was easily reelected after House Impeachment. Same will happen again & democracts will also be back to house minority
Impeach polosi why do we have to listen to her mouth
Only way they can try and get him out. So afraid he will get voted in for another term. You should all hide for being so chicken and fearful and taking the easy way out. I hope he gets voted back in and starts turning over the rocks you will be hiding under.
CNBC sucks!! Trump for ever!!!!
Boo!
Sleep good tonight. Hope you all did the right move. I don’t think so. Be prepared to face your constituents in your areas. Your careers are over.
👎
Pelosi is not concerned about what the voter's want, as she has stated, 'we can't let the voters determine who the president of this country is.' The impeachment process started when he was sworn in.
Ahhh, SpeakerPelosi, leather face. To bad wasting tax payers money, and a return that I will get back nicely. Trump Train in 2020.
This is a very sad day. I’m ashamed of our country because the democrats have not been able to accept him as President since day one. Amazing that someone has accomplished so much for the economy and the American people. I know I will never vote for a democrat again. Embarrassed
Love SpeakerPelosi
She just sealed her fate 🤣🤣 and helped Trump for a landslide victory in 2020👍👍
Wrong. Her number one goal since the day he was elected, was to get him out of office. Perhaps you should focus on her job.
What a sickening sad lady would be to talk to.
Trump has zero class, an is actually pathetic
The ultimate “Becky”
KleinschmidtJD
We should impeach the Speaker of the House for this waste of taxpayers dollars.
She should be fired for drinking on the job
The Democratic Party is a joke... can’t wait for the 2020 election
What a complete waste of time. If you can’t beat the man try to impeach the man. His approval rating is rising as I tweet. Real smart dems. 🤦♂️
Thank you for wasting time, money, & resources to do nothing helpful to the taxpayers. You disgusting snakes ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
I’ll say it again for the slow people. You can not impeach without a crime.
Yeah... about that... she’s insane so....
“Hillary didn’t win, we had no choice” - Pelosi _Muehlbrandt
We’ll remember on Election Day how much of our taxpayer dollars have been wasted by the Dems on farce investigations & impeachment. This money could have been used to help American people. Dems only care about their political positions not about what’s good for American people!
The left has gone bat shit crazy. What a waste of time. The fools just paved the way for a 2nd Trump term. Epic backfire!!!
hate to spoil the party but, there's no way in hell senate passes this. If this was a democrate senate he'd be outta here ASAP but it ain't happening sadly so, all we can do is keep living as best we can and be kind to one another and help each other.
This is what bullshit smells like.
A year from now you will have no job Nancy All you've done is appease the hard left and the do nothing dems. Just like in the United Kingdom the voters will reek their havoc on you and your cohorts MARK MY WORDS
CONGRATULATIONS CNBC YALL CAN HAVE S BIG VICTORY PARTY NOW. You deserve it and be sure to invite all your liberal socialist democrat friends
He did give you a choice but, you've been on a witch hunt ever since he became president, the US has never been so well off, Why don't you go after the Clinton's, where are the 35k emails, where are the millions of $s from the charity
What a nut job she is.
You made a big mistake and you Madam Pelosi abused your power and made a mockery of our country!
well thank you.. you just managed to divide the country even more😪
🙏👏USA 🇺🇸 First
SpeakerPelosi this is a sham. I WAS a Democrat my entire life voting Dem every election u til this next one... you’re a disgrace to our republic and have forced moderate dems to walk away from the party.
There’s always a choice, your loony California and New York Clowns demanded it...2 lunatic states will never get control of the entire country, your fate is now sealed NANNA SpeakerPelosi
Gave you no choice? Madam this was your goal! You on purpose falsely accused our President Trump! He is innocent! I support our President Trump!
Thank you Madam SpeakerPelosi ❤️
Pelosi you are Delusional and shouldn’t even be at office at all. You are absolutely horrible and a liar. I guess as Republicans should I get all this when Obama was in office. But us Republicans stand strong and don’t have time for the dramatics and bullshit.
What a rotten person ... the dems should be ashamed of themselves
You always have a choice SpeakerPelosi , the problem was you didn't have a crime. You own this travesty 100% IMPEACHMENTVOTE ImpeachmentDay impeachmentsham DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Trump 2020
Omgosh Don, have some dignity, some pride! Just come clean and show the slightest bit of Honour! I guess you don’t know what honour is, but it may show some integrity if you Tried! Stop being a defensive 2 yr old with turrets!!!
What Doc did Nancys Botox? She’s looks younger & fresh.
Bitch
Learn to speak partisan hag!
We need to remove these idiots from our payroll and impeach them. Wasting our money and time.
Support Naughty Nancy's opposition for Congress in 2020. From Texas, but will be contributing financially to whoever runs against her in California! Mentally deranged people should not be allowed to hold leadership positions! Unfortunately for CA this may be Mission Impossible.
And it will go no where in senate
Face seems a BIT redder than usual 🤔
Who do I vote out!!!
That’s the second coup on a sitting US president this term. It’s a sign America does not belong to the people anymore. The dems are abusing power.
Oh let’s make ‘no choice’ a meme!!!
See you in November. You accomplished only to piss off the American voter. Vote RED, Remove Every Democrat.
Poor delusional Demobrats. They have doomed themselves and they know it. People are tired of their petty attempt to rewrite their loss in 2016 and we are tired of them wasting money to pursue it. Next up some demobrats are going to turn on their fellow demobrats or step down.
Waste of time and MONEY!!
Yet again, HouseGOP prove that they are party first and country second! Facts and Truth and Integrity mean nothing to Republicans. If any Republican voters still have decency and pride, you need to stand against DonTheCon immediately. Otherwise, history will remember.
SpeakerPelosi the spokesperson for why we need 'term limits'
...I have no input, I’m just here to see how this goes. .... This is kinda like a plot to an anime I guess. (Kinda lied when I said I had no input🙃)
We will give you the choice in 2020 when we vote for him in 2020. Trump2020
I was confused on why Pepsi had a hand in this for a second
Nancy, you are FINALLY standing an the right side; the CORRECT side of history and getting that monster OUT of Our precious WHITEHOUSE

The only threat to national security are the democrats
Democrats just being Democrats.
He already won 2020 who cares
Well Nanc... you gave US no choice. This ASSURED President Trumps re election. We’ll see you in Nov , in numbers that will blow your mind.
Pelosi should fix her dentures. It’s so uncomfortable to see her talk.
Vote pelosi OUT
It’s not over. Senate, you are up next; yet, I doubt that 2/3 votes will be reached considering the Senate is PRIMARILY Republican.
She’s a nutball
Whenever Trump fired someone on the Apprentice he would say “I had no choice. He/she gave me no choice.“ Even though he had many choices. Great choice of words madam speaker. ImpeachmentDay impeachthepeach
You still lose😂
Go to hell Pelosi
Yes Nancy, by him Winning the election, you decide to impeach before he even takes office. Obama administration weaponized the DOJ and FBI, CIA and lie to FISA judges. Disgraceful. State run media (aka) liberal arm of democrat party all corrupt.
Shame, this will be the democrats go to move whenever there’s a republican president. Unless- Trump makes an example out of the traitors who embellished this.
She is drunk af.
We all knew that the Democrat Party was nothing more than a Communist Front but today they made it official The Democrat Party is a Communist Party so you don’t have to mix any words anymore they will just be known as the Communist Party the CP.
Credibly accused.
More like Democrat’s impeached him, so dumb
What a scam vote. Democrats just created a Monster come 2020 election.
now it's up to Republicans to prove how much of a traitor we already know they are, but who knows, these ethicless scoundrels may prove honorable Americans wrong.
Trump2020
'He gave us no choice but to remove him as our competition in 2020'
Na na na na!!!!! Na na na na!!!!!! Hey hey .....goodbye!!!!!!!!
Pelosi she’s trash
It’s sad to see there is so much hatred in this world. I understand everyone has different views; however, the fact that Nancy Pelosi has so many negative thoughts pertaining to Trump ultimately reveals her detestable presence in Congress.
Does that mean PuertoRico will get their money? 🤗❤️🇵🇷
He was asking for it! Well, he got it.
Guess they are wanting a civil war!!
HOW DARE YOU CORRUPT DEMOCRATS TAKE AWAY OUR VOTE! OUR HANDS WERE TIED WITH BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA 🤔 8 YEARS AND WE WON TRUMP AND YOURE TAKING OUR VOTE AWAY?!?!? OH HELL NO! WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS DEMOCRAT CORRUPTION! IMPEACHMENTVOTE ImpeachmentDay TRUMP2020Landside

Nancy Pelosi Stands next to The United States Flag she doesn’t even respect our democracy and our Constitution ! She’s a viscous hateful woman who is a hypocrite! Democrats will regret listening to Nancy Pelosi! HATE is all they have! The American People Stand With President!🇺🇸🙏
Yes he gave you no choice by winning the election
I look forward to the day Republicans take back the house and impeach Obama. This is the bar the Democrats have now set.
The greatest democrat hypocrisy of hate and corruption in the history of the United States. The future will not judge these criminals lightly.
What a waste of money & time
Still reporting that fake news huh ? So disappointed in the lack of real journalism in today's news. All of it politically driven bs.....what happened to unbiased truth?
As the Dems actions are not based upon facts, they will vote on Political Impeachment.
You had a choice. In fact you spelled it out. You just didn't have the guts to make it!
Too bad the pledge of allegiance isn’t recognized due to the liberal diversity policies.
Trump is a bum!
Why is Nancy standing by the pledge of allegiance and the American flag. Sadly it’s not recited in classrooms anymore and the flag is not respected anymore, much like the Democrats and the Republicans today.
She’s despicable.
Shut your mouth SpeakerPelosi
Nah. They want to reverse the WIN!!!!
Impeach him please
Liar. This was all planned 3 years ago
No, you gave us no choice, Pelosi! You and your zealots have shoved it down this country's throat.
Trump 2020 🤩
The Dems keep on repeating their mantra “ nobody is above the law”...It looks like for the Dems this doesn’t apply to the thousands of illegals in the US who have CLEARLY and continuously broken our laws!
..regardless of ones political view, this whole exercise demonstrates why Congress is hated by all sides. Months wasted, including todays all day 'debate' that will not change one vote, in an exercise that will amount to absolutely nothing. Your tax dollars at work.
Biden way before Pr.Trump's speech with Zelensky has entered into a filthy financial relation with Ukraine! Democrats want to save their front runner by double attacking Republicans and the Pr.Trump for protecting their power! This is all I see from zooming out 10 times!
SpeakerPelosi is in the back pocket of Wall Street and the Ukraine.. we are not buying your distraction ya drunk 🤷♂️
The Do-nothing Dems is trying to disrupt the economy by taking the tax payers's money to impeach the President so he could do his job.
I'm no fan of Trump and his market pumping tweets but the Democrats are a joke. You wanna look for something impeachable then look into all the 'trade talks going well' market goosing when there's a red candle day.
They were going to impeach him since he was elected. Stop the lies
ylanmui An attempted coup by traitors to the republic. That’s what’s happening.
The Dnc is corrupt. She is lying. Time to remove the Dnc from office
ylanmui Biden way before Pr.Trump's speech with Zelensky has entered into a filthy financial relation with Ukraine! Democrats want to save their front runner by double attacking Republicans and the Pr.Trump for protecting their power! This is all I see from zooming out 10 times!
When does the investigation into VP Joe and Hunter Biden start?
I think your extremist base have you no choice.
Nancy brain freeze Pelosi TRUMP2020
Clinton put the Democratic party in a downward slope. With this farcical impeachment, Pelosi will take the Democratic party to its grave.
This Fabricated Political Impeachment will be on display tonight at Trump's Rally in Michigan at 7 PM. What better place. Remember Michigan....Hillary does. Tune in and watch how the Stupid Dems energized the opposition for the 2020 election.
a dirty corrupt lying turd if there ever was. no crime committed or stated.
ImpeachmentSham CoupAttempt Traitors Treason
She is so full of sh!t. Now the Speaker is complicit in the coup attempt against the republic.
GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPComplicit ImpeachAndRemove ImpeachTrump
