House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed three of the popular arguments against the impeachment of President Donald Trump in a letter on Monday to her Democratic colleagues.
First, she addressed the claim, made frequently despite the damning evidence coming out of the impeachment hearings, that it’s pointless or somehow a subversion of the popular will to impeach a president within a year of an election.
“The weak response to these hearings has been, ‘Let the election decide,’” she said. “That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections.”
