For a party that claims that they care about truth and facts above all else, the Democrats are refusing to accept the fact that President Trump was acquitted of the crimes they fabricated against him. The most recent example of this is when Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided to broadcast on CNN that she lives in an alternate reality where President Trump was not acquitted. Her reasoning is as believable as President Clinton’s claim that he “did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
Christiane Amanpour: What about, though, the fact that the president seems liberated, and this is about democratic politics so I’m not asking you to criticize here, but he was acquitted, his poll ratings —
Speaker Pelosi: There was no — you can’t have an acquittal if you don’t have a trial and you can’t have a trial unless you have witnesses or documents. He is impeached forever, branded with that and not vindicated. Even the senators were saying, yes, it wasn’t right, but they didn’t have the courage to act upon that.
Even if there was a world where Speaker Pelosi’s reasoning was sound, then the same rule would apply to the House’s successful impeachment of President Trump. All President Trump and his supporters need to say is that he was not impeached because you cannot have an impeachment without a crime, evidence of any kind, or any bipartisan support.
It is not surprising that Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats are making up their own rules to justify impeachment. After all, every action that she has taken as Speaker has occurred because the Democrats still refuse to accept that Donald Trump won the 2016 election. Unfortunately for them, that is not a fact that they can make a sad talking point to try to combat. Nor can Speaker Pelosi tear up the results of the 2016 election, as she did to the State of the Union. Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats will eventually have to accept the reality that President Trump won the 2016 election, was acquitted, and that all the accomplishments that he listed in his State of the Union address are facts that they cannot change.
