President Donald Trump deserves to face impeachment for seeming to side with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a joint press conference on Monday, said Beto O'Rourke, a Democratic congressman who is campaigning for Ted Cruz's Texas Senate seat.

"Standing on stage in another country with the leader of another country who wants to and has sought to undermine this country, and to side with him over the United States—if I were asked to vote on this, I would vote to impeach the president," said O'Rourke on Tuesday, according to The Dallas Morning News.

"Impeachment, much like an indictment, shows that there is enough there for the case to proceed,” he continued, “And at this point there is certainly enough there for the case to proceed."

O’Rourke also slammed his opponent Cruz for not criticizing Trump for taking Putin’s word.


This isn't a referendum on Trump... It's now a referendum on preserving our Democracy and who's going to actually stand up and do something.
