read this report and find different levels of disturbing information or none at all if you are a trump cult member once you read it. and mitt romney like justin amash, i m sure read the entire report because that s the type of thing mitt romney does. and i believe amash is correct when he says a most of these congress people who are just spouting and parroting talking points from the trump campaign and the trump white house have not red the report. i mean, i know it s probably shocking to most americans to hear that most members of congress did not take the time to read 400 pages. is it part of their constitutional duty? of course it is, but it should also be to put country over party and to put constitution over a president of that party. what i do hope happens with democrats is that they continue asking and demanding that bob
here s mitt romney. my own view is justin amash has reached a different conclusion than i have. i respect him. i think it s a courageous statement. as i read the report, i was troubled by it. it was very disappointing for a number of reasons, but it did not suggest to me that this was time to call for impeachment. so j.w., you have senator romney calling the statement courageous. but yet he disagrees on obstruction? i think it is courageous. and i would shift the focus back. notice justin amash is willing to go on a limb. pelosi is not willing to go out there with him. i think that s an incredible contrast that needs more attention. romney has done with he can. the democrats will have to lead on this push for impeachment proceedings. it doesn t surprise me there are members of congress who want to ride trump s coat tails. they look more like the junior officer behind the scenes at a
jeff flake in arizona or bob corker or they lost general elections or they died. so today the republican party is blindly loyal to donald trump. it s incredible to hear an rnc chair attacking another republican. and the speaker of the house attacking a republican in his caucus. saying that all he wants is attention. man, i had to tell kevin mccarthy the minority leader if congressman get disqualified for seeking attention, there ain t going to be nobody left in congress. okay? including him. he d be the first one that would be shown the exit door. it s it s all about trump. it s all about trump. it s loyalty. it was john boehner who said it. it s like no longer the republican party. it s the party of trump. you mention the rnc chair. we know that mitt romney wasn t as harsh as his niece was when it came to what amash said, but
kim jong-un party. but i think the leadership has to come from the democrats at this point. how do you think, ann, how do you think this puts the pelosis and nadlers who have been more on the slow train? not jumping on let s impeach but let s do this and do this in a bipartisan way? how do you think amash s comments from a republican saying let s go, let s impeach force their hands? i think it continues the momentum. anna, to an that. sorry. i don t think it forces their hand. pelosi has made et clear where she stands. for her, i don t believe it s about whether offenses were oh committed or there are merits to the case. i think for her it s a political and pragmatic calculation. they simply do not have the votes in the senate and so it would be an exercise that would divide the country. and look, i think mitt romney was speaking his truth. i think different people can
breaking news tonight. president-elect donald trump has picked south carolina governor nikki haley to be the next u.s. ambassador to the united nations. let s talk about with our political experts. this is why some people are surprised by this. here s what donald trump said about nikki haley at one point. the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley. she responded, donald trump, bless your heart, which that is stereo typically what southerners say before they say something mean about you. and the team of rivals, some have said, this is surprising considering donald trump is notoriously thin skinned. i think all rivals are not created equal. she was actually very respectful with the way she went at donald trump. she was never over the top. compared to mitt romney. that s right. her criticism was more gentle, where mitt romney wasn t. that would be more of a signal.
