2020 Democrat Buttigieg: 'Very Clear that the President Deserves Impeachment'

Democratic 2020 upstart Pete Buttigieg has joined the ill-fated "impeach Trump" mob by declaring Thursday that it's "very clear that the president deserves impeachment." Speaking during a live interview with the Washington Post's Bob Costa, Buttigieg confirmed that he supports the push impeaching President Trump. The 37-year-old South Bend, Indiana mayor said he would back House Democrats initiating the controversial proceedings. The case against Trump is being “built each passing day by the White House," Buttigieg claims. “As to when and how the House goes about launching those procedural steps to get the inquiry up and running, I’m going to leave that to the House,” Mr. Buttigieg said at the WaPo event. “Because I know that regardless of how that process unfolds, we got a political job to do as well.” He said that House Democrats want to follow a "sequence" so they don't get accused of a “knee-jerk” reaction. “They’re exercising unbelievable discipline, given that we are well past the point of what would ordinarily be tolerated,” he said.He called impeachment “a fundamentally political, not legal process - because it comes down to the votes of politicians.”
