Trump inadvertently reveals he feels 'shame and disgrace' over past conduct: Dem lawmaker
The Wall Street Journal exclusively reported recently that President Donald Trump is actively working with allies to “void” his two impeachments, an effort that inadvertently revealed that the president felt “disgrace and embarrassment” over his past conduct, a top Democratic congressman argued Sunday.
Citing anonymous inside sources, the Journal revealed that “Trump and his allies” were planning to push a resolution on GOP lawmakers that would symbolically expunge the president’s two impeachments: his 2019 impeachment related to his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and his 2021 impeachment for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Unfortunately for Trump, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said during an appearance Sunday on MS NOW, there “is no constitutional provision for expungement of your prior impeachments.” Raskin also offered Trump advice on how to avoid further impeachments.
“If you don't want to get impeached by the House of Representatives, stop committing impeachable offenses! That's the way you do it, you stop committing high crimes and misdemeanors,” Raskin said.
“I think it's probably a good sign that he feels sufficient shame, disgrace and embarrassment about having levied an insurrection against his own government, as well as the Ukraine shakedown in the prior impeachment. In any event, there's no procedure for doing that.”
Raskin also condemned Trump for seemingly wanting to “erase Jan. 6,” given the number of “police officers who are still struggling today” due to the riot.
“I saw one officer over the weekend who is still going regularly to the doctor for migraines caused by a fractured skull and traumatic brain injuries,” Raskin said.
