31. Your headline is wrong, he didn't say that.

Watch the clip that is on the CNN page you linked to. Right from the opening question, it says that he supports impeachment (and always has) BUT he does not think it necessarily helps Dems.

He supports it presumably because it is the right thing to do in terms of the country and the Constitution, but (a) he still doesn't think the Senate will remove him, and (b) all the focus on it is not really helpful to the Dems, as it sucks all the air out of the room and prevents them from better getting their positive visions out there.

Nowhere does he say or even imply that he thinks Trump should not be impeached. Everything he says is consistent with his past statements, which Don Lemon sums up in the first 10 seconds of the clip. Nothing he says after that ever contradicts that position.

(And as so often happens on DU, people's replies indicate they believe your assertion and haven't watched the clip, and that's how misinformation gets propagated...)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Your headline is wrong, he didn't say that. thesquanderer Nov 2019 #31

Let's face it. He's not a serious candidate. Never has been redstateblues Nov 2019 #5

Good point. The Jazz Hands... LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #8

Does he think, he is going to get some of Trump's base voters? dewsgirl Nov 2019 #9

Who said people can't do their jobs? redqueen Nov 2019 #41

...and he's outathere. Condoning high crimes isn't an attribute in a worthwhile Dem candidate. NRaleighLiberal Nov 2019 #14

Bingo! LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #15

Where did he condone high crimes? nt redqueen Nov 2019 #43

Why should we speculate. Someone should ask him why. Hear it from him. Is there a link? ancianita Nov 2019 #18

Scroll up... LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #19

Okay... LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #37

Getting more and more substantive as you go on, eh? LanternWaste Nov 2019 #47

Wow - not even going to grace this faux style crap with a response. redqueen Nov 2019 #34

But...a response happened.... LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #35

Reading comprehension is a good thing. redqueen Nov 2019 #44

It's a complete fabrication of what a Democratic candidate said. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #40

Why consciously infer something in such a dramatically inaccurate manner? LanternWaste Nov 2019 #45
