Right-Wingers Supporting Impeaching Former Presidents Until They Didnt
By News & Guts
Fox News hosts are twisting themselves into a pretzel to downplay and discredit the Senate impeachment trial. On Tuesday nights show, Tucker Carlson questioned it saying:
At this point, honestly, who cares? Impeachment? The whole thing is ridiculous. They are literally impeaching a president who isnt even the president anymore. Theyre yelling at someone whos already left the room.
56 Senators, including six Republicans, agreed it is Constitutional to try a former president. Whats interesting is many of the channels stars have also previously floated impeaching people who are not in office anymore.
This brilliantly edited video from Media Matters captures how that view has changed now that the former officeholder in question is Donald Trump.
