(CNN)Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings said Tuesday that House Republicans would have already impeached Hillary Clinton if she had done a fraction of what Donald Trump has done as President.

Cummings, the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, made the comments on the Joe Madison Show on SiriusXM radio.

"I have bird's eye view on all this stuff, and I look at how they treated Hillary Clinton. I mean, for one millionth of what has happened with Trump, they would have impeached her. I'm just telling you. They would have been going crazy. That's what makes this so egregious."

When Madison said an impeachment vote would have already taken place, Cummings answered, "No doubt."

A majority vote by members of the House is required to start the impeachment process.

What Cummings said is the absolute truth. The republican assholes do not care about this country and what Trump did, they only care about themselves. If their enemy, Hillary Clinton would have done the same thing, the vote would have been taken yesterday. (without much discussion)

1. you've crossed your Comey with your Cummings in your title!

[Stuart G]

3. yes, you caught it, but so did I. quickly...correction made..

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. I thought it was a quite clever Freudian-ish slip!

[Zoonart]

2. Exactly right!

The most powerful leadership right now is coming from the Congressional Black Caucus! Thanks you Rep. Cummings and a big shout out to Auntie Maxine too!

5. the right would have started impeachment on Jan. 23 - right after the weekend

It would have made no difference what she did.

6. The GOP would have started impeachment proceedings on Jan. 23

and just cooked up some charges along the way...

Chaffetz practically promised this if Hillary won

7. I think you are right....What a sad reflection on them..

Sometimes a single thought clarifies and defines an issue as well as a group. What Cummings said in the OP, is exactly that. Their hate is so strong, that it would not have mattered what happened after the she took the oath of office, the next day an impeachment would have been discussed if not voted on..

Most of them are all about that one word, hate, hate and more hate.. We don't get that about Trump, even though he reflects that "hate" as much as anyone. He said things about a killed soldier's father that reflected this and so many others. None of them call Trump out on that ..hate

15. They actually promised to still find some way to investigate and prosecute her

even if she lost. And if their dear leader hadn't been so overt and virulent in violating all manner of ethics rules, they would have started up the "email" thing, yet again, by now.

8. We all know this is true. They wanted to "LOCK HER UP" just for receiving emails in a private server

Republicans have two faces.

[WoonTars]

9. Especially if she'd pulled this Russia/intel stunt...

All of the 'measured' responses we're seeing from the gop would instead be howls of outrage demanding her immediate resignation....

Fucking hypocrites...

10. The republicans have declared war on liberalism and they won't stop until they get absolute power.

They were already coming after Garland this week, and they're coming for what's left of our media. These people are vultures and they won't stop until they have it all.

11. What scares me

is I feel palpable uncertainty and hesitancy in the country right now

Stock markets, economic numbers, the news, the Tweets ... there is no
clear reading on what it all means, or where it is headed, or where it ends.

Or maybe it's just me.

[elmac]

13. It will end badly

and will cause an economic and social crash in this country. How long it will last is anybody's guess.

[elmac]

12. they would have tried to impeach our real president,

Hillary Clinton, for anything their fascist, warped minds could come up with.

14. Heard him on the show this morning

He also said as soon as he heard all the insanity that happened the past couple days, he was on the phone with John Conyers (who is ranking Dem on the Judiciary Committee).
