The Democrats’ latest impeachment stunt has crashed and burned spectacularly, and even their own leadership knows it. In yet another desperate bid to undermine President Donald Trump and distract the nation from his America First agenda, a small cadre of Democrats introduced impeachment articles this week—only to be swiftly rebuked by their own party’s leaders.
Representative Pete Aguilar, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, threw cold water on the impeachment proposal, candidly admitting the futility of the effort. Speaking to reporters at the Capitol, Aguilar stated bluntly, “We don’t have any confidence that House and Senate Republicans would do their jobs, and so this is not an exercise that we’re willing to undertake.” Translation: Democrats know their impeachment circus would be dead-on-arrival, nothing more than cheap theater to appease their far-left base.
The impeachment push, spearheaded by Michigan Democrat Shri Thanedar, was so poorly thought out that even fellow Democrats quickly distanced themselves from it. Representatives Robin Kelly of Illinois, Kweisi Mfume of Maryland, and Jerry Nadler of New York—all initially listed as cosponsors—quickly asked to be removed once they realized party leadership had not even reviewed the proposal. According to The Hill, only Representative Jan Schakowsky of Illinois chose to remain as a cosponsor, making Thanedar’s gambit appear even more hopelessly isolated.
And why the division among Democrats? Because even they see through the transparent partisan motives behind this latest impeachment charade. Thanedar’s laundry list of charges against Trump—obstruction, abuse of power, international aggression, and corruption—reads like a hastily-assembled wish list from left-wing activist groups, not a serious case deserving of Congressional attention.
President Trump himself mocked the impeachment attempt at a rally this week, saying, “Today they did it again. Some guy that I’ve never heard of…is he a congressman? This guy, he said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment of Donald Trump.’ What the hell did I do? Here we go again.”
Indeed, here we go again. Democrats seem incapable of learning from past failures. Trump has already been impeached twice, both times as part of politically motivated hit jobs that collapsed under scrutiny in a Republican-controlled Senate. This latest stunt, however, is even more pathetic—doomed from the start and rejected outright by party leadership.
Meanwhile, America faces real problems that demand attention: a border crisis still unresolved from Biden’s disastrous open-border policies, a manufacturing sector roaring back under President Trump’s America First approach, a trade agenda putting American workers first, and an education system desperately in need of real reform. Not to mention, President Trump’s commitment to ending foreign wars and bringing our brave troops home continues to resonate with patriotic Americans of all stripes.
Yet Democrats remain fixated on impeachment fantasies, consumed by personal hatred of President Trump rather than the serious business of governing. Even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries seemed to distance himself from the impeachment proposal, saying, “I haven’t evaluated the articles that were introduced. I haven’t even had an opportunity to talk with [Thanedar] about it.”
It’s telling when even party leaders won’t waste their time on this nonsense. Instead of offering real solutions, Democrats remain stuck in a never-ending loop of partisan theatrics, oblivious to the needs and priorities of everyday Americans.
The American people deserve better. Thankfully, President Trump and Republicans in Congress remain focused on putting our country first—securing our borders, reviving American industry, reforming our schools, and keeping our sons and daughters out of endless foreign conflicts. Democrats can continue their desperate impeachment charades all they want, but the American people see through it. That’s why, come next year’s midterms, voters will once again reject this kind of partisan obstruction and support leaders dedicated to America’s greatness.
