A war on democracy and then illegal partisan coup the u. S. President has again denounced the impeachment process against him and claimed he hasnt been allowed to participate the Democratic Party controlled house of representatives is expected to push ahead with impeachment one of votes later on wednesday heres our White House Correspondent kimberly. In advance of an expected vote to impeach the u. S. President in the house of representatives Donald Trumps land the case against him the whole impeachment thing is a hoax we look forward to getting on to the senate. Were not entitled to lawyers were not entitled to witnesses were not entitled to anything in the house its a total sham those oval office statements echoed the sentiments of a 6 page letter on official letterhead the tribes said to Democratic HouseSpeaker Nancy Pelosi accusing her of conducting an illegal partisan coup truck goes on to say by proceeding with your invalid impeachment you are violating your oath of office you are breaking your allegiance to the constitution and you are declaring open war on american democracy President Trump is expected to be impeached in the house on 2 articles use of power and obstruction of Congress Says he wrote his letter to the House Speaker to create a permanent record of his thoughts on the historic vote truck maintains he committed no wrongdoing when last july in a phone call he asked the ukrainian president for a favor to help on earth corruption involving his political rival former Vice President joe biden we must act with a sense of urgency to protect our democracy on capitol hill as democrats battled opposition republicans over the terms of the impending Impeachment Vote democrat defended their desire to impeach truong are arguing its the only way to preserve the integrity of the upcoming 2020 president ial vote given that an unrepentant president considers his behavior perfect. Given that he thinks the constitution empowers him to do whatever he wants given that he and his team are still awaiting president selenski statement about investigating joe biden we can only ask what the 2020 election will be like or indeed what any future election in america will be like if we just let this misconduct go but in his letter trump disputed democrats motives writing as you know very well this impeachment drive has nothing to do with ukraine or the totally appropriate conversation i had with its new president it only has to do with your attempt to undo the election of 2016 and steal the election of 2020 and despite efforts by the white house to block witness testimony during the impeachment inquiry trump has accused democrats of denying him due process likening his treatment to the salem witch trials of the 1600s where those falsely accused of witchcraft were executed its a message that seems geared to Trump Supporters a rallying cry trumps letter says could propel him to reelection kimberly healthy at aljazeera the white house. So after weeks of herrings Public Opinions on the impeachment is now splits and the gallagher reports from miami and florida a swing state that donald trump won in 2016 this is not impeachable the impeachment hearings into President Trumps dealings with ukraine began in november the hearings have times been dramatic revealing and deeply partisan places like grahams bar in miami though youre not likely to hit patrons talking about what many see as a political crisis its something owner adam ghost and doesnt shy away from he holds election watch parties here isnt afraid of heated debate but says most of lost Interest Despite his efforts theres not an aha moment where you suddenly say democracy its a long slog and youve got to stick with it and. My part in sticking with it is keeping people engaged and exposing them to whats actually happening exposure to the twists and turns of politics may not be as crucial and deeply republican or democratic states florida and especially its hispanic voters will be pivotal in the 2020 president ial election i guess i kind of hear but only like if he actually does get impeached but for the most part i make keeping up with until the voting occurs i have no power in the situation so i dont Pay Attention i dont care so hard to weed through all the information out there and it seems like people are in such different sides of it that its hard to at this point understand whats going on at least for myself as a 2020 president ial election looms the fight to sway Public Opinion appears to have wavered on lets say that could have implications for the democrats they claim that trump was a russian stooge who was going to destroy the country the miller investigation found out that wasnt true and sort of decimated those trump russia conspiracy theories and now people are left wondering is this just more partisan bickering voters remain divided in one camp of the other the Sunshine State though has a history of deciding the nations fate how people feel matters if florida does one thing consistently it tends to reflect the mood of the entire country for decades florida voters of back but winning president ial candidates and thats mostly because the demographics here make this a mini version of the United States so a collective shrug here could be seen as a fairly accurate reflection of the current mood on the gallacher Miami Florida well supporters of trumps impeachment have been making their voices heard well then 500. 00 demonstrations were held in u. S. Cities and towns they were organized under the banner nobody is above the law. Or was it one rally in new york and he spoke to demonstrators about why they want to see impeached. Thousands. People on the streets of new york city marking through the heart of the city and theyre chanting things like lock him up lock him up in each room everybody here is a message they not only want donald trump impeached but they want him removed from office where you hear today im here because no one is above the law its the night before theyre going to vote on the impeachment articles and i think trump has got to now the whole swamp has got to now were nation of lies here founded on for examples of freedom theyre being violated right and left because we have a criminal posing as a president whos broken broken rules of the constitution that is a message from everyone here and its a pretty diverse crowd of people too young older people middle aged it shouldnt be much of a surprise that new york city is Donald Trumps home but its also very liberal and progressive city Hillary Clinton but that more than 2500000 more votes than donald trump did here so this is why youre seeing so many people taking to the streets here in new york with a message to impeach trump one of president obamas former Campaign Advisers is going to prison for conspiracy against the United States and lying to the f.
