House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may or may not be right to dismiss – at least for now – a push to impeach President Donald Trump. But she certainly is right when she says, “He’s just not worth it.”
She means he’s not worth the divisive distraction that seeking his impeachment now – before we learn the results of ongoing investigations – would create.
Here is exactly what she said: “Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.”
She gave herself an out, you’ll notice: ” [U]nless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan “
Don’t misunderstand our position. We’d love to see Donald Trump impeached. But we’d rather see him gone. Impeached would only be satisfactory if it also meant his removal from office. Locked up would be a bonus.
