Trump Makes Statement About Democrats’ Impeachment Attempt
President Donald Trump addressed the Democrats’ impeachment attempt in a statement prior to his departure to Texas to visit the border wall.
“On the impeachment, it’s really a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics. It’s ridiculous, it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Trump said.
“This impeachment is causing tremendous anger … and it’s really a terrible thing that they’re doing.”
“For Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to continue on this path, I think it’s causing tremendous danger to our country and it’s causing tremendous anger,” he added. “I want no violence.”
Trump made his comments while addressing the media prior to his departure to Alamo, Texas, to visit the border wall after being urged by his advisers to undertake events to highlight his successes in office, Reuters reported.
This will be Trump’s first time out in public since the day of the incursion of the Capitol last week.
“As far as this is concerned, we want no violence, never violence, we want absolutely no violence,” he said Tuesday, seeming to address last week’s events.
House Democrats launched their final attempt to remove Trump from office this week.
Republican Rep. Alex Mooney of West Virginia blocked their attempt to pass a resolution demanding that Vice President Mike Pence act to remove Trump using the 25th Amendment on Monday.
