President Trump has slammed Democrats for calling him a threat but then holding up impeachment as a political stunt.
According to Fox News:
The president went so far Thursday morning as to suggest Pelosi should face a primary challenge, as he called her San Francisco district “filthy” and “dirty” and said she should focus on cleaning it up.
“Nancy Pelosi has no leverage over the Senate. Mitch McConnell did not nose his way into the impeachment process in the House, and she has no standing in the Senate.” Brad Blakeman. Crazy Nancy should clean up her filthy dirty District & help the homeless there. A primary for N?

This, after the president tore into House Democrats overnight and into the morning over their handling of the impeachment process, calling them “hypocrites” and “liars” for allegedly seeking concessions in the Senate that Republicans were not afforded in the House — and for hitting pause on impeachment after stressing the national security urgency of it all.
The Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats said they wanted to RUSH everything through to the Senate because “President Trump is a threat to National Security” (they are vicious, will say anything!), but now they don’t want to go fast anymore, they want to go very slowly. Liars!

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., in his committee’s impeachment report, stated the president “will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution” if he remains in office.
Democrats generally used that argument to bolster their case for a swift impeachment process. Nadler made a similar declaration in an ABC interview earlier this month, claiming that Trump’s dealings with Ukraine are evidence of an ongoing security risk.
The Democrats have continued to work with the President while telling the American public that he is a threat and it appears President Trump has had enough of the hypocrisy.
