Democrat Congressman Claims Some In His Party Are Having Second Thoughts About Impeachment
[Townhall] Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) told Fox Business on Sunday he has heard quiet concerns among House Democrats who represent districts President Trump won about the ongoing impeachment inquiry.

Van Drew represents New Jersey's 2nd congressional district, a district that went to Trump in the 2016 election. The congressman was one of the two Democrats who voted against the impeachment inquiry resolution.

Van Drew told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo he plans on voting against impeaching Trump when the time comes unless, "there’s something new or something we have not heard or something that really rises to the level of treason or high crime, that would be different. But we do not see that. We see little different variations, hearsay, discussions, somebody heard something that somebody else said."

"Impeachment as you know, our Founding Fathers had vigorous debate of whether they would even allow impeachment in the Constitution," he continued. "You don’t disenfranchise voters. Millions upon millions of voters. Voters choose their leaders in America."

Bartiromo asked Van Drew if there are other Trump-district Democrats who are going to be voting against impeachment.

#5 Which is why they are so desperate to make it a secret ballot. But that could backfire since they wouldn’t know who voted against it for later retaliation.

#6 Do you really think, CF, that San Fran Nan and Shiff for brains will not know who weaseled on them?

#7 When they ritually set themselves on fire, I'll believe they are really having second thoughts about their coup attempt. Until we see the mass suicides of Dem's attempting the 'honorable' way out, I'll not believe it a bit.

Psychopaths feel no guilt or shame so this will never happen. Just because this guy has enough intelligence to understand that the coup might backfire doesn't mean he's not a reptile.
