Yesterday Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about a recent comment by Senator Chris Coons (D-DE).<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said on Tuesday during MSNBC\u2019s impeachment coverage that \u201chypothetically,\u201d President Donald Trump could be impeached for a \u201chateful, racist position\u201d that he tweets about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Host Chuck Todd said, \u201cI have to say, one of the logic things I don\u2019t understand when I hear people making declarations about \u2018this is not an impeachable offense.\u2019 Correct me if I\u2019m wrong, the impeachable offense is whatever a majority the House says it is, and if you get ousted, it\u2019s whatever two-thirds of the Senate says?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Representative Coons continued:<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cIt is a political process, Chuck. You\u2019re right that we don\u2019t have detailed documentary evidence of what the Founders meant by high crimes and misdemeanors. We have some history from the United Kingdom, where they used that term in impeachment over a long period of time. Understanding this is the Constitutional mechanism for removing the president, I find it hard to believe that it has to be a specifically plead federal crime.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cIf, for example, the president of the United States just chose to move to his golf resort in Scotland for two years and not come back, not return calls, not be the president, don\u2019t you think we could impeach him and remove him for dereliction of duty, even though there\u2019s no specific crime?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIf the president hypothetically were to start adopting some hateful, racist position and tweeting and saying things that violated all of our values and were offensive to every American and didn\u2019t specifically commit a crime, couldn\u2019t we remove him in that instance?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Founding Fathers are not turning over in their graves–they are spinning. Hasn’t this man read the Constitution? Aren’t the Democrats the party who had a Senate Majority Leader who was a leader in his local Ku Klux Klan?<\/p>\n

I really can’t believe that the Democrats are so willing to undo a legitimate election when the next election is merely nine and a half months away.<\/p>\n
