The “Squad’s” renewed calls for impeaching President Trump is being met by silence from other Democrats. Following the leaked phone call between President Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are seeking Trump’s impeachment.
Fox News reports:
“I absolutely think it’s an impeachable offense and if it was up to me, there would be articles on the floor, quite quickly,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters on Sunday as the new session of Congress began. “He is attacking our very election.”
However, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a high-ranking House Democrat, downplayed such an idea on Monday, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President-elect Joe Biden have not spoken out about such a possibility.
“If today is Jan. 4, there’s 16 days until Joe Biden is the next president of the United States of America,” Jeffries told reporters. “We are in a deadly pandemic. It is a once-in-a-century public health crisis. The chaos, confusion, conflict, and corruption that Donald Trump has inflicted upon this country is something to be evaluated by the historians at this particular point in time.”
“There were a series of steps that were taken by Donald Trump and his team that resulted in him being impeached for his corrupt abuse of power,” Jeffries said. “With respec [to] what has currently taken place, I have not viewed the transcript. We’re not looking backward, we’re looking forward to the inauguration of Joe Biden on Jan. 20.”
Ilhan Omar released a statement calling for President Trump’s impeachment, claiming i is the only constitutional remedy.
If the past four years have shown us anything, it’s that the President and his collaborators become more emboldened when they are not held accountable for their crimes.

Trump was impeached in the House of Representatives but then acquitted in the Senate in Feb. 2020 on abuse of power and obstruction of justice charges.
By Omar’s opinion, every Democrap that voted to impeach Trump should be impeached for trying to overthrow our democracy. And for every other attempt to overthrow.
As far as I can tell the only thing Democrats know how to do is attempt to impeach Trump. And…hate any republican elected by the people and hate those people, scold Americans about everything they can think of, tax anything they can possibly find to tax and regulate everything else to death.
Now Pelosi’s first great idea is to change the words you can use, or their meaning. No more Mothers and Fathers in Congress just Parents. Their slavish followers will translate that into everyday lives. If a child falls and scrapes his knee, no more calling for MOTHER. They’ll want us to train children to cry out for PARENT. They’ll eventually want fines and rewards for neighbors who turn in 3 year olds overheard calling for Mother. Democrats start with an inane idea and bring it to full blown insanity. Can I hear an Amen or Awoman like the democrat congressman ended his “prayer”? Or do I just hear Amoron?
