Republican CNN guest Rick Wilson misquoted a line from HBO's 'The Wire,' in which he warned Nancy Pelosi to go all-in on impeachment if she chooses to, because 'if you’re going to go after the king, you best get him.'

GOP strategist Rick Wilson joined a CNN panel discussing Trump impeachment possibilities, where he and another guest argued it's a necessary moral and legal step because"allegations mean nothing" to a"shameless" president.

“You can’t use normal moral-suasion against this guy because he doesn’t have any morals,” Wilson told the CNN panel, echoing his earlier point"you can't shame the shameless." All three panelists appeared to agree that if Pelosi and the Democrats do choose to follow up with impeachment, they better do it quickly and"nail down" all the scandals swirling around the Trump administration.

“Articles of impeachment are not allegations. They are part of a formal process where the House is pointing a finger and saying, ‘We believe Donald Trump you are guilty of these high crimes and misdemeanors and then you get a trial in the Senate which everyone is forgetting about. That’s what is so critical," he added.

I would expect to hear this from Raw Story, but seeing it on Newsweek covering a CNN interview makes it more mind blowing. Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Do it!!! Either way, Trump2020Landslide

FFS if we have to have a king we can do a hell of a lot better that Don the Con Trump

Trump is so not a king 😆😆😆

The Rs are monarchists!

The King

How dare you call this PIG the king after ALL you know he as done!

America doesn't have kings. A war was fought over this.

now he is a king! more a bananian strong man i think. i held back myself...

The King can only hide one step around itself, while the Queen may move like a tower or a full fledged knight.

King? He's not even the president of the Untied States of America. He's a puppet for Putin. Without Russia/Putin, he'd never have looked like the winner. He's the loser

republican NO when y'all don't hold Trump accountable and stop 100 Bills including protecting voting ONLY Republicans will be held accountable. Y'all don't even have the number of registered Repubs anymore. No Inds will vote your way either. America is holding you accountable

The king!? SWTF?

Un-American low lifes. Patriotic, Nancy will just be doing the job that they all took a pledge for, to protect the constitution.

When you play the game of thrones........

Wow

The quote is, '“When you strike at a king, you must kill him.” FFS. If you're going to quote Emerson get all ten words right, and in order.

“King” . Pretty much sums up Trump and his Klan. Sorry, asshats, wrong country. Literally fought a war over this. (Yes, I am aware it was a botched line from a TV show. Interesting tho that he went for the”king” reference.)

I didn't realize we were a monarchy. I am falling behind on my daily news.

Ewwwwwwww, these liars are gross

Under Obama , Americans spied on and de-masked at 500% increase. This should also be investigated. IRS was weaponized also. UN, Allies spied on. DOJ, CIA, FBI, NSA, DOS, none of these was fully investigated in which President Obama claims he didn’t know. All need investigations.

The king 😆😂🤣 SpeakerPelosi please go after “the king” sooner than later bc the sooner the better! PROimpeachmentOfTrump realDonaldTrump POTUS

so the republicans do think he is the dictator King, very worrisome

Doesn't stop the house from starting an impeachment inquiry. If he's going to be re-elected either way so be it.but it will still be looked at by many as the house upholding it's constitutional duties of checks and balances of an co-equal branch of government.

Seems Trump supporters are confused that Trump is not a King and we fought our independence to not be rulled by a King. So take your monarchy with you and set it up with your new friend in North Korea. I am sure he will let you set up there and let you build your walls too.

Look just because the Republicans don't want to uphold their constitutional duties, doesn't mean the Democrats shouldn't either.STOPworrying about a damn election and uphold your oath of office.we already know the Republican controlled Senate will not impeach this POS but that

You fought us to avoid having a King! George Washington will be spinning in his grave at max RPM.

Tell me this isn’t true - pls - a typo- Onion - anything -

King? Who? Lmao

That trash is not no king unless it’s money laundering for KremlinRussia_E

So do these guys not understand that they represent all people, not just those in their camps? Do they not see how dangerous their 'king' is? And don't they see the implications of referring to him as 'king?'

King?

I get the gut reaction to the king word—poor choice. But consider the broader sentiment—it’s not wrong. And impeachment is by nature a political process, so political ramifications factor into the calculus.

He’s not a King ffs.

If potus was involved in wrongdoing like it appears he has been, then he must pay the price. Hey Conservative Christians, right is right & if realDonaldTrump is your savior he needs to sacrifice himself. To whom much is given much is required. Do the right thing. He has to go!

'If you go after the king, you best get him' WTF? The alternative is taking the role of obedient serf in the service of an insane person. Easy choice there.

Don’t get stuck on the king comment (figure of speech). I have to agree w/them on content. If you’re going to do it, you can’t leave any wiggle room especially w/a GOP Senate proven to be obstructionist when it comes to holding trump accountable.

Thats the problem. Trump thinks hes the king and our laws dont apply to him or his crime family.

King? These Repuglicants think that orange miscreant is a king? Dear sweet suffering god. That’s a pretty malfeasant statement for someone who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution to utter. TheResistanceRises

Republicans need to understand that revenge is a self-inflicted injury.

And that’s the problem right there...no president should be considered a king. America is not a monarchy!!!

GOP I find it sick that anyone would equate Trump to being a king. The founders would smack the crap out of them.

Wow! How deep!

So......Republicans GOP believe that Trump is a King? or they want to have a king? What happened to believing in the Constitution and Democracy? VoteAllTheGOPout

What beat a king before, we beat them again.

He’s the “king” now, huh Scary stuff.. because he’s a wanna-be dictator.

If we don't go after him, we have lost our country. If we don't impeach THIS president, what the hell does the president have to do to be impeached? We either have integrity or we don't.

Rick is a disgraced RINO.

King?
