Conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt found himself trending on Sunday after people reacted harshly to his analysis of impeachment.

During an appearance on Meet the Press, Hewitt argued that President Donald Trump's action in Ukraine did not rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

Hewitt also revealed that he planned to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Virginia Democratic presidential primary as a way to foment chaos among Democrats.

Even though Hewitt said that he would vote for Trump in the general election, he explained that he was casting a primary vote for Sanders so that Americans could see what a real socialist looks like.

when their party doesn't have a primary candidate - try to cause trouble with us Dems. It's what they do. Hewitt has a column at WAPO, and he's roundly castigated there too.

I couldn't agree more. Hewitt is a known liar and Toad knows it but doesn't care. The MSM are like deer in the headlights when it comes to the GOP - they may know the threat but don't know what to do about it.

To summarize Meet the Press:

Trump’s not really guilty, and all democrats suck.
