Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) said he believes that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should consider bringing impeachment charges against President Trump.
He also said that the Democrats don’t need to worry about passing any useful legislation and their sole focus must be driving Trump from the presidency. It will be interesting to see how the voters deal with the Democrat’s plans, especially if they decided to run on healthcare again in 2020 after doing nothing for two years they will have been in charge in the House.
Meanwhile, 1.4 million people lost their health insurance in 2018 because the premiums went up so high they had to choose between insurance and eating.
During an appearance on CBS’ “Face The Nation” Sunday, Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) said he believes that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should consider brining impeachment charges against Trump.
“Do you personally think impeachment should be considered?” show host Margaret Brennan asked.
“I think it should. I think it’s the best way to get all of the facts out. I also believe that at some point we have to hear from this president whether he’s lying to us or not. We need to hear from him under oath,” Richmond responded.
But Richmond went a step further when he admitted that unseating Trump is, at least personally, his current “sole focus.”
“Look my sole focus right now is to make sure that [Trump’s] not the president next term,” Richmond said, adding that while Congress should further investigate whether Trump obstructed justice, the primary goal of Democrats should be “to make sure that [Trump] does not win re-election.”
